Tools And Equipment

Get hold of a corporation type paving slab, drill holes in each corner of the box. Sit the box on top of the slab and mark the four holes through the box on the slab. Then with a masonry drill, drill the four holes in the slab. Put in the four polyplugs for screws. Buy some really wide washers...

Jiffy my hubby does it himself like you and also uses broom stems for many things

Great tool the bilhook. Comes in a variety of shapes. Yes! very easy to self inflict accidents with it until you get the balance of it. Fantastic when chopping/shaping stakes.Tools of yesteryear are still being used. Compared to some of yesterday that have passed their use by date.

Martin hubby as a grinder like yourself and they soon sharpen blades mate

The sun is the biggist killer of hose pipes and then people treading on them when lead on the ground

Makes a lot of sense clanless for all the reasons you gave I had 3 lawns once.....2 now....and for the very small 3rd one I used a hand push qualcast. It was ideal. That piece of grass has gone Now I use a Bosch cordless ....lightweight, very quiet, cheap, easy to use and stripes the grass.

It’s ok, the EU has agreed on the renewal of the 5 year licence and has a large backing from the U.K. Tuesday 28 November: CLA Rural Business Conference and Glyphosate - Defra in the media

Fork Spade Rake Good boots Good gloves Loppers Hand saw ( branches etc) Secateurs Good flask (or camping stove) Maybe a secure shed And a comfy deck chair (sit back and admire your work)

I had one i secured it to the decking with these.

I thought ChilliPepper and PolyHive were looking to chop fine and green waste?

That looks amazing for £45 . Reviews are very good as well . May not last as long as premium brands , but I'm sure you'll get at least 5 seasons out of it

I replaced my Hayter Harrier last year after over 18 years of reliable service. It needed a couple of spare parts over that time and these were easily available and fitted myself. I bought a much cheaper and lighter Mountfield which so far has worked OK but I can't see it lasting very long, the...

This is the wheelbarrow folks.CHASSEUR 90 Ltr

Welcome to the forum Ryan Some more knowledgeable folks than I am here who really know their mowers but, for me, battery power is the way to go. Quieter than petrol and no trailing cables as there are with electric models. My lawns are much smaller than yours....prob 10 x 15 m and a smaller...

I believe fiskars bought Wilkinson sword tools a few years ago. They do make sime good shaped tools, long handles that reduce the strain on your body etc.Not happy with their shears...blades are too short. But ive abused a spade for a few years now, also an X27 log splitter and a small...

If you go to the Stihl website you should be able to locate your nearest. Try other manufactures and see who’s local, very handy when a tool goes down and you need to get parts or repaired. One lesson I’ve found is that the lesser known brands dealerships come and go. My local husky dealership...

Looking forward to seeing the photos, @Tetters

You can get harness to help. RTS Super Harness for long reach hedge trimmers -I normally just hold my hedge cutter and crack on but it takes it out of you and I’m getting to old for long hedge cutting sessions now.

Hi FolksDoes anyone know where I can get a petrol gardening tool (Hyundai 5 in 1) with starting problems looked at?I’m looking for someone in the West Mids or Shropshire, most preferably within 10 miles of the Walsall to Telford corridor (my commute).Many thanksPaul

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...
