Have a look through this

I'm sure there both 1", but it comes with a reducer but I'm sure it's right size with out it

" If I lived on the South Wales coast I wouldn't bother going on holiday, it's one of our favourite parts of the world, next to Yorkshire of course We will be back down there in about three weeks. Quick edit to conform with the thread, my next door neighbour will be looking after our garden and...

We have a battery powered Ryobi mower bought from B&Q last yr,i cant fault it

Bought this new hose from Costco the other day:It was supposed to have two different types of connector, but when I opened the packaging there were two of one type of connector, instead of one of each, and I couldn't be bothered to go back to Costco. Trouble was I couldn't find a female to...

Drippers is the way to go. You could lightly "bury" the pipework, I doubt anyone would be able to see it - except where it connects to the tap (and timer??) - perhaps box that in to hide it (the tap will need insulated boxing-in for the winter, presumably?)

Damn, too late Barbeque anyone?

Its a great idea, but I have a large garden so, for me, not practical :(

But not too closely!!!!

Well I've given mine a full test drive now and I must say I'm impressed. If you are looking for a tool that you can take to your uncultivated patch, fire it up and give you instant friable soil then you a looking in the WRONG place. On the other hand if you've soil that has had a fork put to it...

Hi, Just so you know, Wilkinsons Soft Grip Large Clothes Pegs will open up to just over 20mm. Why's that of any relevance? Because that means they'll secure bird (or any other type of) netting to 20mm diameter Blue Alkathene Pipe (or MDPE). Simple easy to fit and easy to take off for weeding Cheers!

It only seems that way because I only answer questions that I know something about!!Me too. Sadly no longer exists, so I have to use mailorder now. Still waiting for my order from LBS (with whom I have a trade account) placed on 25-March. Emails since have gone unanswered - I will clearly...

Well it does look like its personal choice when it comes to these mowers and mixed reviews as well. I have seen the following deals below. Not in any order but they all get mixed reviewsBosch Rotak 320ER Electric Rotary Lawnmower - £62Qualcast Electric Cylinder Mower - 400W -...

I'm not a fan of meters either, although C1's experience is interesting, hadn't thought of that before.Main issue I have with meters is how to know if they are calibrated? When I have used one in a lab the first thing we did was to calibrate it with solutions of known-pH.Although the...

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.

Really, you should just buy one of these and be done with it:

I've got a problem with my mower - blades dont turn when all the interlocks are made because the fuse f3 blows (the clutch fuse) yet the clutch meters out at around 10 megohms. Has anyone else experienced this? and whats the fix?

I have just got two water butts for my new allotment, which I had initially assumed were to be filled with water collected from the shed and greenhouse (once I get it erected)I learnt today that there are in fact various hose connections throughout the allotments, which can be used to fill...

In the end I went for a Stihl with hedge trimmer and pole pruner attachments. Very happy indeed :-) although with the shaft extension it can be a bit heavy to maneuver.
