Tools And Equipment

Thank you for the answers. I have to replace the spool on my electric one but to tell you the truth I don't like to use it because of the noise and vibrations...

Hi weather people I have just purchased a masons hygrometer from ebay my question is will the water container be affected if it freezes in the winter will I have to leave it drained

Thanks Shiney, but I really can't be bothered with all the hassle that will come from contacting them. It had to be serviced by the dealer here while under guarantee and I spoke to them about the issue more than once, but they don't seem to be able to come up with anything. The guarantee has...

Thank you looking on ebay this looks a good buy not going to buy anything without going other all the options though

Found them good for killing weeds on the patio and drive where its hard to get them out with tools especially if you dont want to use chemicals. Young dandelions usually take 2 to 3 attempts before the tap root runs out of steam. They can also be used over vegetable beds before planting seeds...

I hired an electric shredder and produced about a mtr cube of shredded cardboard, I mixed it with some green in the composter and it heated up brilliantly and has decomposed at a very good rate, I have now bought a used petrol shredder and hope to produce lots of good compost, especially when my...

Oh I totally missed that thread then Freddy...

We stayed with some people who had one. It came out of its little recharging-garage, ran around a bit, and when the battery was getting low went back to get itself recharged. I don't like that type of rotary cut, but for folk that do, and have a small enough lawn, I reckon its a good idea. It...

So long as it is Sharp / Horticultural sand it will help, but the two do slightly different things.

Stick with the fiddly line strimmers as at least you only lose a piece of plastic wire and the strimmer still keeps on working and cutting grass until it gets too short.

Put that on the front of cars That'll stop people cutting people off

Nice one

Probably needs a good soak in WD40 or similar. Not done this myself but guessing it would be a left hand thread, if its on the bottom of the blade. But it can be confusing and as Kristen said, take a close look at the thread if you can see any of it.

Can't you strip the shredder down and release the leylandii Zigs? It'll take age to rot!

Or even better, a coil pack linked to dump units, with z amount volume containers, at x point at y amount of hours, power on, dump the load using electrical signal, use a modified salvaged ecu to store a simplistic program to only control dumping sequence. could be extremely efficient if...

Drat , I use lots of the square 70mm pots ! Hope they don't discontinue them.

I'll never understand him ....he "hates" gardening so why take so long....beats me.....

Looks as good as new Capney.

I've recently bought a Stihl (Petrol though ...) One thing I like is that you can "bump" the spool on the ground and the rotation causes it to release one new length of cable (maybe they all have that these days? The one I replaced was 20 years old - I can recommend that make too (except I...

Its not just filling a tank that benefits I think? Standing there with a hose watering plants, or trying to run a sprinkler for example. For a feed to something with a ballcock, or trickle/drip irrigation it may make no difference, just run it for longer (but for me "run it longer" means that...
