Tools And Equipment

Hi all, For the long lasting (but expensive tools) I use the WOLF range. They are dependable, interchangeable with all styles and lengths of handles. Like the trowel on a 6' handle to get to the back of the border. The only drawback is the branch saw is like a piece of foil attached to my 16'...

Walnut,we too have one of those Parasene wands,and have just restocked up with the cannisters.We have all but given up with the large Sheen one because of the weight of the thing.Those wands are good as well for starting off bonfires on the lottie.I wouldn't be without mine.I don't even know...

Popped into Homebase today and picked up a Bargain:They are selling off Dutch Hoe's ( Stainless head / wooden handle ), originally priced at �£12.99, now only �£6.50. Apparently item is discontinued stock !Barcode number is: 940000650095012095045441 If that helps !Happy hunting !TTFN

Hi maltaron. I can find battery-powered trucks at www.epowertrucks.co.uk - but they aren't mowers. (I looked under their "tow tractors" section.) Was that what you were looking for??Or an electric ride-on mower conversion under development at: www.electrictractor.net - not available yet, and...

I have been composting my hooverings regularly - most of it breaks down - though I have found that the pen lids, small lego type toys and tinsel pieces etc don't decompose as readily! If I'm not using them for planting seeds, I tend to compost toilet roll tubes too. All my guinea pig...

Nice one Geoff, you dont see stores like that anymore, not quite the same in B&Q. Hard to believe thats over thirty years old now.

There's another thread on this subjext in the general gardening section....http://www.gardenerscorner.co.uk/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=002614Looks like a few people like the helical screw Bosch one

Wee Hee!! Guess what? Doing my occasional trawl on Ebay I've found a 20-gallon sprayer that will fit beautifully in my mini trailer and spray a four-metre swathe at a time... and it's well under half the price of the AgriFab or Westwood kit. Also has a lance. So with a Shurflo pump at around...

I'm so glad you got your tools back pal. Although i was mad about my trolley and wheelbarrow getting stolen, they were only valuable to me. The trolley was on it's last legs, and the wheelbarrow was given to me, unfortunatly if i put heavy stuff in it the wheel went flat, so they didn't get a...

I've still got the flymo out, but I agree - far too wet and muddy!

Me I take the easy way - anything that needs more than a light pruning saw, or loppers - especially if it has thorns is done professionally. As today, when some nice men took 5 foot off my hawthornes (which had delusions of grandeur thinking they were oak trees)brought my apple trees back into...

I've seen the manoeuvrable anes on displays in garden centres, and had the feeling they'd be subject to the same problems as supermarket trolleys - and looks like that's exaactly what happens, as per DaveW's reply.The easiest mowers to manoeuvre are the flymos, but then they're hard to keep in...

:D

I use mine for pulling the big green trade bins around the school two at a time with no problems

To sharpen a cyclinder mower correctly, the trailing edge of the blade should be very slighly nearer to the axis than the leading edge (the same as a scissor blade, after all it is only a variation of scissors). It was possible about 50 years ago to buy a sharpening stone for a cylinder mower,...

sOMEONE WAS LOOKING FOR A COPY OF A USER MANUAL, i HAVE ONE. I AM ALSO LOOKING FOR SPARE PARTS, CAN ANYONE HELP?

Great fun aren't they, when I've finished I go around the garden lopping branches off all over the place.

Or do it the sneaky way, go to Homebase, buy one of their flimsy B&D/Bosch/Powercrud lines (or whatever) and take out their three year extended guarantee that costs about twelve quid or so. At least you will get another machine if it snaps/twists/bits fall off/etc. I don't agree with the...

Good idea - M5 here I come - bet it digs faster than the workmen already there!!!!!!!!Nick - found a picture on Ebay - shows me just what I need to know. I'm gonna give it a go tomorrow - can't rely on these men!!! (lol) I'll let you know if I succeed. Many thanks for your help.
