Tools And Equipment

No, the pots we use are still the same. Unless they are only introducing these type of pots with less holes for the retail sector.

@LeadFarmer reminded me I too use 4mm soak coiled in a couple of wine barrels we have. I've also some in a circle on a couple of large pots (you can get "T" connectors for the circle).

Here's a short demo of how I trim the lawn along my borders. The sub-titles are in French. Tools I use:a half-moon long-handle shears normal lawn shears

Thanks for your replies, @Perki anything that makes weeding easier sounds good to me.

I’m looking to buy a lawn mower after my cheap B&Q one died on me. Are there any members that are selling any?

We had a traditional slatted wooden composter stuck in a corner screened off on 2 sides with trellis , but the squirrels were getting fat on mango skin. They have not yet learnt how to take the lids off…

I did, and still will, consider the submersible to start the main pump. For the moment I will search around.

Thank you, I'll pass the message on.

As @infradig says, I'm not a fan of stainless steel either, it doesn't really hold a good edge for long. Of course as with any tool it's how you treat it and what you cut with it that will make a difference.

Some years ago I bought an all metal one and I don't think it lasted very long tbh.I don't know if anyone makes any thing that can be taken apart these days, they don't really want you mending anything.

thank you very much for your reply and thanks for list of equivalents for plug,

thank you

I have stihl and husqvarna hedgetrimmer I always tend to lean towards Husky but more attention to detail in my opinion . Getting parts for the stihl / husky will be more ready available the titan, it is more a less a throw away machine. What models are you thinking of ? I personally use single...

I've got a Bosch 18v hedge trimmer, never found it underpowered for what I want. It won't cut thick stems but neither will a corded one. I use a lopper etc as infradig says for the odd thicker bit. I'm just cutting back to last years beech hedge growth so never really have thick stems in the way.

The bore must have been seriously compromised. Mine were not Hozelock either but I get full flow to my 50M hose.

Hello @wiseowlThanks for the Link.It may not be the same Model being Discussed but the consensus seems positive.ThanksKevin

Just an update really , i use the secateurs a lot now , Yesterday I pruned a buddleia down, usually i would have various loppers and tools out to cut. This year with the cordless secateurs, i did the lot and cut up for the bin. Much easier and quicker. And easier on the hands standing over the...

Just an update, I have used frequently and it has been really useful. In fact i clip on the holster and use every time i do any gardening , so they are always available ....

Will be interesting to see how they perform over the years or if I've recommended a lemon!
