Tools And Equipment

As pete says a sharp tap, prior to that use penetrating spray like WD40.

Update:- The washer works really well but I still have to hold it to make it work.

Just ordered these two, hopefully will be even better than their JB counterparts. Border Fork - RHS EndorsedRound Tined Fork - RHS EndorsedNick

I start by folding a rag to the right thickness and placing it over the axe head´s blunt end, resting the tip of a file on the rag and sliding the file handle in an arc, filing along the edge of the blade. On my carving axes, I progressively move the rag up and forwards, to create a curved edge,...

We need before and after photos - pretty please

It's to connect the small piece of hose to the tap at one end and the reel on the other, Kristen. The same fitting required for both. I got the brass ones and they connect perfectly but the flow is severely reduced so they're being returned. I'll maybe look into your Geka's - thanks for the...

thank you for your help and advice

Most experts seem to say that the best way of testing soil is by getting it analised in a laboratory. Whilst that would be true for the sample provided, its not the whole truth. Using my own garden as an example, what I have found is that the values change over time, which does tend to make lab...

If the electric start went wrong I would soon make sure that there was a quick replacement. The company I bought it from would be able to get a replacement part, or do a repair, quickly. Getting the parts would be only a minor problem as Hayters UK HO is two miles from me. The only thing to...

Do you have any local dealerships for various manufacturers? Best to see what’s available locally ie John Deere, Etesia, Mountfield and so on so you can see what’s available and get the dealers thoughts. Some even offer demos. You might find an ex demo or a very good secondhand ride on but look...

Just wondering if the timber was wet when you applied it. It would soak in really well in hot dry summer conditions but if the timber is wet absorption would be minimal.

The big advantage of Felco secateurs over other makes is that they're intended to be maintained. Easy to dismantle for thorough cleaning and sharpening, replacement parts easily available etc. There's even a Company in, I think, Leicester, where you can send them to be completely overhauled....

Erh hm. Scuse me. This old far/fellar has lost the plot. When you talk about terracotta pots, do you mean these fance immatations that you get fom the gardencenters, or do you mean, what many of us oldies call. Clay pots. Clay pots had a basic measurement, some had a semi moulded rim others...

Hi well moving house is not a option aa my wife had a stroke last time we moved

Well done

There are several ads for pots/containers of all sizes on Ebay. Unless using planters, where a display can be planted, I prefer to stick with 15Ltr pots. Obtainable from Oakwood Gardens. I have used the 'Flower buckets' obtainable from florists, @10p each, IMO good value. Bore a few drainage...

I've used long handled ones (Separate ones, not the ones that are joined together) and it was quite easy putting the leaves into a builders' bag. An alternative is to use a garden vacuum and then empty the contents into your builders' bag. I prefer the second method because shredded leaves take...

They 'walk' down far easier than they 'climb'. But not as difficult as getting a wheelchair user into a similar escape chair and down flights of stairs.

I recently purchased gardening equipment from Inthemarket. I have bought a polytunnel to grow my garden safe and secure. I suggest to go through Inthemarket if you looking quality product in cheap price.

many thanks for your reply all though the trigger felt ok i decided to buy a new trigger and all works ok now thanks for your advice
