Tools And Equipment

I have got many good years of use our of my Hoselock Rectangular Sprinkler Pro, but it also stopped oscillating recently. It still made all the right clicking noises when you manually turned it so I was happy it wasn't anything terminal. Following the advice from this and other posts I spent...

The double bevelled edges it refers to may, possibly, mean hollow ground (although it wouldn't, technically, be quite correct).

I have a Miracle grow one and like Loofah was never sure how much feed was being dispensed. As above I use slow release fertliser and then feed my containers baskets and borders with Tom feed from middle July . For the lawns now its a liquid feed dispensed from my trusty watering can.

you can download the instruction manuals here.the bottom download is just in english!!

As I don't have as much to do as you, it all gets done - eventually. The front flower beds get done in 11 sections which gets done in about two days. Actually less time than that but the hosepipe is out there for that amount of time (just take off the sprinkler and the shut off works - and...

If heat cant be used, try going the other way and using a freeze spray such as Freeze Off by CRC. Then an Impact Driver with the correct sized socket. If the head is not already destroyed by Stilsons and/or the adjustable spanner, that is.

Nah!!!! Just light and burn :-)

Oh I wish there was a pic of that.............!

Never seen those before Scrungee,thanks for that.

Re the hozeleak complaint I have trodden that road also. In my case it was invariably caused by one or more of 3 (maybe 4) acts of carelessness on my part.1) Use the brass/chrome connectors rather than plastic ones, wherever possible. Yes the metal ones have plastic parts, but there is no...

yes etesia and john deere is what we use at work and both are decent mowers but they do carry a high price new and just your luck finding used. noticed on gumtree (glasgow) a guy selling 2 etesia pro a few weeks ago £150 eachthere are no reviews for these mowers so cant say if they collect...

I've got that one too Kristen and it hasn't been used since my son left home two years ago!

To sharpen a cyclinder mower correctly, the trailing edge of the blade should be very slighly nearer to the axis than the leading edge (the same as a scissor blade, after all it is only a variation of scissors). It was possible about 50 years ago to buy a sharpening stone for a cylinder mower,...

if you dont drain the tank and carb the petrol can evaporate leaving the oil behind which can give you all sorts of problems , also when petrol evaporates slowly it can leave behind a kind of varnish that might clog up the carb. old petrol isnt too good anyway , always use fresh and two stroke...

Well I must admit that I find electric strimmers whatever the make/model are more trouble than they're worth.The heads just aren't robust enough! Petrol strimmers are usually far stronger!

I also bought a Bosch Rotak recently - best piece of equipment I have ever bought. I would highly recommend this if you are not completely dead set on a petrol mower. I wrote a full review on the Rotak here: Bosch Rotak Lawnmower Review
