Having filled in and reseeded the ruts in the verges in my part of Creamery Lane some three weeks ago, the areas have had to have new earth and grass seed added some five times since then because of either stupidity or bad driving. The newly germinated grass seed does not survive being driven on. Today at lunch time I had to add more soil in three locations, one was obviously an abortive attempt at parking (completely unnecessary as there was plenty of on road space today), although the other locations can only be due to people driving off the road. However this afternoon someone seems to have deliberately driven off the road over part of the repaired area.


Please can people show a basic consideration and refrain from driving over the verges until new grass has been established.

PS Does anyone have any spare grass seed as I have used up the box I had and gathered what wild grass seed I can find nearby?
Peter would it help if you protected the area with canes and string just the grass grows? More to provide an visual hint than a real physical deterrent.
Patti, I have been meaning to get some reflective tape, but am not sure where I would get it from. The problem of string would be it might not be noticed in the dark.
Patti, have found and ordered some red and white hazard tape on eBay.
Let’s hope that works Peter and that your lovely verge will be restored to its former verdant glory!
