Here's the answer to your gardening question...

You asked:

How can I get rid of the mushrooms growing in my lawn?

Our Advice:

Spray the toadstool caps with water and sprinkle sugar on them to overload them with carbohydrates. Alternatively, try applying a solution of Epsom Salts in lukewarm water at a rate of 60g in 5 litres to each square metre of lawn. Both treatments will cause the toadstools to shrivel and die. You may need to apply several treatments.
