Thanks Eeksypeeksy,
I did what you suggested and Googled for coffee grounds and nitrogen, came up with a bunch of sites, that definitely do recommend it as a good way to use around your plants and trees, also good to keep ants away it says.
Thanks for the advice.

Hi STHLMgreen, are you serious or are you joking with me, to tell you the truth, I really didn't know coffee grounds are nitrogen, so I could use my used coffee grinds and spread that on the areas of the lawn???
You will have to guide me here, because i am just new to all this gardening stuff.

I have one that isn't taking very well, the one shoot that did come up with some growth, was eaten by the bugs. I don't know if it will come up again. I have just sprayed them now with a new concoction that I...

I keep forgetting to ask , who came up with the idea of those pictures from the series, "Good Neighbours"?
We used to love watching that show, we really enjoyed it.
I think it is an excellent idea for your forum.

Hi Hedgewizard, thanks for your suggestions and comments, I appreciate them. So, all my work of pulling them out is just a waste of time then, well I guess I can stop that then. As far as identifying the mushrooms, they have really tiny thin stems very whitish in colour, the tops of them are cone sh...

Well I don't know the name of this type of mushroom, but I don't think they are for eating, but then I can't say for sure, all I would like is to get them out of the lawn if that is possible????
