Tools And Equipment

If the electric start went wrong I would soon make sure that there was a quick replacement. The company I bought it from would be able to get a replacement part, or do a repair, quickly. Getting the parts would be only a minor problem as Hayters UK HO is two miles from me. The only thing to...

Do you have any local dealerships for various manufacturers? Best to see what’s available locally ie John Deere, Etesia, Mountfield and so on so you can see what’s available and get the dealers thoughts. Some even offer demos. You might find an ex demo or a very good secondhand ride on but look...

Just wondering if the timber was wet when you applied it. It would soak in really well in hot dry summer conditions but if the timber is wet absorption would be minimal.

The big advantage of Felco secateurs over other makes is that they're intended to be maintained. Easy to dismantle for thorough cleaning and sharpening, replacement parts easily available etc. There's even a Company in, I think, Leicester, where you can send them to be completely overhauled....

Erh hm. Scuse me. This old far/fellar has lost the plot. When you talk about terracotta pots, do you mean these fance immatations that you get fom the gardencenters, or do you mean, what many of us oldies call. Clay pots. Clay pots had a basic measurement, some had a semi moulded rim others...

Hi well moving house is not a option aa my wife had a stroke last time we moved

Well done

There are several ads for pots/containers of all sizes on Ebay. Unless using planters, where a display can be planted, I prefer to stick with 15Ltr pots. Obtainable from Oakwood Gardens. I have used the 'Flower buckets' obtainable from florists, @10p each, IMO good value. Bore a few drainage...

I've used long handled ones (Separate ones, not the ones that are joined together) and it was quite easy putting the leaves into a builders' bag. An alternative is to use a garden vacuum and then empty the contents into your builders' bag. I prefer the second method because shredded leaves take...

They 'walk' down far easier than they 'climb'. But not as difficult as getting a wheelchair user into a similar escape chair and down flights of stairs.

I recently purchased gardening equipment from Inthemarket. I have bought a polytunnel to grow my garden safe and secure. I suggest to go through Inthemarket if you looking quality product in cheap price.

many thanks for your reply all though the trigger felt ok i decided to buy a new trigger and all works ok now thanks for your advice

My mower has always been a problem to start especially when hot. I bought a small bottle of something called petrol enhancer from B&Q.Seems to have made quite a difference, but I dont know what it is.

If we were foing to develop a them of innuendo, then I would mention the worlds most inappropriately name moped with a small two stroke...the Norman Nippy....Oops! I just did!

I have used my Quad-cut a few times now, one of the reasons it impresses me so much is because the blades cut straight through long fibrous long leaves like phormium leaves and mulches them, all of my previous mowers would get the leaves wound around the centre spindle like thick lengths of...

Hi allI have been lucky enough to get my hands on a greenhouse from a relatives house move, with it came a number of items. One is this, which appears to be a propagator but it does not have any ventilation.I’ve googled the make and wiki says “Breveté SGDG was a French type of patent that...

You could go down the no-dig route as it less labour intensive. For the price of an electric tiller you could get a delivery of mushroom compost. Pay them a fiver tip and they may hump it into your back garden. Mushroom compost is a good conditioner for clay soil, worms will mix it in over...

HiI have not read all of the above in case it has already been said.Its just the way aluminium oxidizes and degrades over time, there is nothing you can do really even the expensive ones covered in plastic will blow up after a while where the moisture gets underneath from condensation. The...

Hi @Hobbynut I am also pretty weak and feeble, so I use a border fork, and only attempt when the ground is a bit damp, not like concrete. The advantage of a fork is that you are not trying to force through a large area at once. Slowly, but surely... or to quote a Welsh proverb from my youth...

Would have to be the garden rake that my grandfather made 60+ years ago. Was given to me by my Mum when i moved into my first house.
