Tools And Equipment

Ive been using a Bosch Rotak for the last 3 or 4 years (Cable, not battery) - does a fine job, the only maintenance I ever do is take the blade off & sharpen it up at the start of the year.Her next door has got a flymo & it seems to make a right old mess, but then Ive never seen her do any...

It's so annoying when this sort of thing happens Roy. In my opinion the Germans know how to manufacture goods and there customer service is always spot on!

If you get a water butt pump they can usually be left in as long as the water doesnt freeze.

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

For a 4M x 2M patch that might be a matter if hiring it 10 mins.

This is the lawnmower that Liketearsinrain has..... The blades are set behind the cylinder which is why I think it's flattening the grass before the blades reach it.

He also went from 6' 6 to 5' 6" after first using it without protection and wondered why.

Ah yes, I think I recall you posted that once before? Should have listened the first time, shouldn't I But, I'm a woman and we do like to multi-task and while those 3 cans are filling ... I could be ... ... deadheading !

This is the set I have: When I bought it, I was skint, and this was supposed to be to tide me over until I could afford better kit, but its just done so well and continues to do well. The strimmer is a bit rubbish, but is fine for what I need. If I regularly needed to strim a large area...

On a slightly different vein.I had a single garage and converted it into a double,at the end of garden, but I only have one car. One neighbor told his daughter to park on my drive,told him off and never spoke to me since.A new neighbor parked his bmw one my drive in front of the half of garage I...

Miracle Gro do one, dunno if you can refill with whatever you like, or if you have to use their refills?

I woke up one morning to find that had happened to me and my hands were completely floppy and disabled. Then I woke up a second time and everything was OK. It worried me for some months afterwards in case it was real and could happen whilst driving.

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...

Wonder if anyone can advise us on which 4wd ride on mower we could buy to help us cope with the slopes and amount of grass we have to cut here on a regular basis. I have been looking at the Husqvarna and the Stiga park mowers but perhaps someone can suggest a different mower that can do the job....

I bought this not too long ago, quite expensive but really was worth it! Has made watering the garden really easy, never kinks and auto reel means it takes seconds to reel up. Only problem is it has to be attached to the wall / fence post.

Welcome to Gardeners Corner Ken. It's a great idea as you say for moving things around, but unfortunately not much use to me with my back problems as I can't lift the heavy things into it.

Hi Pete yes I was a bit late with everything as it took longer than expected to build my raised bed but I just stuck everything in and am hoping for the best! I'll keep them in and see how they go, maybe they will surprise me. Thanks for the advice, it's good to hear that they go like that when...

You shouldn't weed or feed lawns during drought Harry.
