This is the complex of old ponds at the bottom of my garden. They are built into the slope, with one large pond at the lower level and three...
The Bosch is supposed to be self-sharpening - I've only had mine a couple of years so can't vouch for how true that is.
You'd think cost would be an incentive though, those things are expensive. It's scary to think how much must be in landfill.
I'm only cutting mine once a fortnight at the moment and there's no problem. It will actually cope with quite long grass, it's just more of an effort.

Someone's nicked my birdfeeder! It's a little bit of wood with holes drilled for filling up with peanut butter. I make my own filling by...
That looks like a good match. @CeeJay_65 I have a similar issue in my garden, I have a Virginia Creeper or something closely related. It's always...
This morning's courgette situation is that I have 3 lovely male flowers fully open, but the female has already given up and dropped off! Looking...
Yes I suffered a lot of unpollinated courgettes last year and they did exactly that. I think it was just too wet and cold last summer for the...
When I was suffering back issues a while ago I replaced my shoelaces with an elastic version so that I could just slip them on, and no longer had...
I planted out some dahlias last week at the same time as coreopsis and verbenas, all yellow-stickered bedding from the supermarket. The dahlias...
