Tools And Equipment

Managed to get it started, the instructions says there is a choke lever, but there isn't. Must be an automatic choke.Thanks anyways for the overwhelming responses!!

I go for cheap, really cheap, like right out of the recycle bin. You really don't need anything fancy for hydroponics.

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...

Found mine off ebay, 2nd hand. Its made by Lynx whioch I can neither find on internet or by word of mouth so was a bit of a punt but its an absolute workhorse!Try to find one near to you so you can go round and check it over before handing over cash.

Products that you wipe on glasses to stop them steaming up DO NOT WORK when you have another layer over them such as overgoggles, and using them doing chainsaw work. There's no really good method sadly.The mesh visors are fine for hedge cutting, but for chainsaw work I plan it in very short...

Gillian Bliss pottery........perhaps.

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.

Thanx alot 'The Master'.......all I need now is the points GAP and i'll be running.....all right, walking. C'mon you green fingered lot, there must be more info out there, looking for a coil too?????I'll be waiting patiently, regards, OC.

Hi, Any feedback on Allen hover mowers. Purely for some rough banked areas, destroyed my old b&decker . I am looking at the 450 modelthanks Howard

Thanks all for your comments it seems i have done the right thing.

I joined this forum to ask about a good hedge trimmer so although I cannot help on this one, your answers have been very useful so thanks!Jeff

I was only posting for the benefit of others who want such stuff, as approx. 200L sturdy barrels can be picked up on ebay for between £5 and £10. The 'flat top' barrels are the strongest, as the 'rounded tops' are weaker and you might get a nasty crack in your butt if emptying a heavy water...

Flat beer is fine take no notice of me Spruce

I usually disconnect mine during gales and wire them shut, and keep the place totally shut ,doors as well.Aluminium greenhouses in particular are only designed to withstand wind from the outside, once the wind gets inside it can be bye bye to most of your glazing.

Hmmm, It's a quetion of preference really. I like the idea of the weight that the sand one gives, but it could be a problem for storing in the shed if you have to lift it in over items in there. OK, you can take the items out, but that depends on how many large items there are to move first...

Welcome to Gardeners Corner I think I'd better point out that this thread is over three years old.

etesia are the best .... thats why many councls use them .... a good used one on ebay will cost approx £300-£350 .... buy it new, and expect to pay approx £2k+ .... a full service on one costs approx £120 had a quick look on ebay, and there is this one for £495 (he is open for offers):...

Hi Steve R. when i worked in the Plastics industry we used a substance named Methyl Ethyl Ketone to break down the plastic polymers to do repairs to our broken plastic household items such as vacuum cleaners etc ( always done on night shift in the lab) :wink: this liquid was great for repairs...

I suppose it really depends on exactly what you need and how much you want to spend.I've checked up on the Which? best buys for long grass, rough grass and wet grass. They recommend the John Deere RUN46 (£400) as a best buy. Fairly closely followed by Makita PLM1521 - no grass box (£372),...
