Tools And Equipment

Felco's are very popular, I don't think you can go far wrong with those m47een. Honda's are a good make of mower with good engines, I had one for fourteen years. Have a look at local suppliers, Honda usually have mowers across a wide price range. Beware of buying any mower with a Chinese built...

@jay Welcome to GC I've just been having a quick look at some of the 'Best Buy' mowers on the Which? list. This Masport gets a good review. I don't know whether this link will work.

The main dealer who also repair these use a high temperature Lithium grease, so that is what I have got. Thanks for responses.

How do you prefer to cut your lawn...? Petrol RotaryWhat mower do you use....? Hayter HarrierWhat do you do with the grass cuttings (compost, bin, etc)? CompostHow and where do you store your mower.....? ShedHow often do you cut your lawn....? 2 - 3 weeks in summerAny thing that...

I recently bought a Mculloch leaf blower/vac and it's great! I am posting because if anyone is looking for a budget option I would definitely recommend this:I didn't buy it from Amazon, I bought it locally, but it's the same product.The blower is very powerful at top speed, and easily...

'Fraid so, its what the Pro's use, so might not be justifable just for a small garden. I like the fact that it is stable enough and has a rail that you can put your full weight against to lean right out over the hedge ... means moving it fewer times.They come up second hand, at much more...

Hoe - as in Hoe, Hoe, Hoe and Hoe again.I favour a "swoe" hoeas it is effective on either the push or the pull stroke, and will reach around the back of plants for an elusive weed, plus it has a point for "digging out" when that is called for, but a Dutch Hoewould be an alternative....

I've had one done,great operation,caught a flesh eating bug in hospital which gave me more pain,next one is going to be done in a private clinic because you can request it.

I've had the demo and order one will be here within two weeks I shall post the photos up. My small shed arrives tomorrow so plenty to do.

We got all the back basket attachments that still have to be put on. But for now just finished zooming around cutting the Valley, the side, the front and the back. Broomed it off and its now in the shed for the night. Opps I spilled some red wine on it, hope it comes out.

I never knew steam and salt would kill weeds!

Thanks for that,I did mine today and works like new.thanks again.

Could anyone suggest a good mower for a half acre field with a few trees'? Nothing posh, just an efficient grass collector and which turns neatly. Many thanks

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

Thank you, I think I'll try bull dog having broken my fork.

Argos are £15-99 for 110 litre with all the kit,that's cheap,I've got one and pick up another today.

I'm not overly worried if they all catch up together @Kristen, I have a massive freezer so they will simply be blanched and frozen.

I have the rotating handle ones, but you need octave-and-two span, or wicket-keepers hands! I'm not sure I use them enough for the perceived RSI relief ... although can't hurt I suppose.Also have a smaller pair which Mrs K uses - Felco #2 I think ... the local garden centre has a display...

I sharpen all my edge tools with aluminium oxide finishing paper grade 80 or 120 a-a

I see they've got their spring bulbs in too.
