Block paving brush - brilliant!

I was over at RHS Harlow Carr this weekend, squelching through the mud and fishing my children out of puddles. Anyway, I got one of these block paving cleaners in the garden centre - it is great! The brass bristles form a sharp V and scrub weeds out of the gaps without any bending. It was £10, but I would have paid more for it! I'm hoping my neighbour - who has the garden equivalent of cleaning OCD - will approve of me slightly more.

Harlow Carr is a great place - too bad it was obviously wet when you were there. The last time I was there, it was so hot that Bettys had run out of home-made lemonade!

I have to say that brush looks useful - I was given a power washer as a present but find it too agressive for most cleaning tasks.

And yup, I have the gardening equivalent of cleaning OCD too......

 

Block paving brush:
Yes, had one of those for awhile.
They work well and you get a workout at the same time!

Thanks Returnmack....What made you choose that name?
Have already contacted them with a view to order,looks like a very handy tool.

 

Easier to hire a decent pressure washer for a day ( as oposed to the diy karachers), that might get up the odd bit off moss but it would take forever on a normal sized drive.

 

Asume it's only for the joints Paul.

 

I don't know about the DIY Karcher's but I have a professional one (bought for cleaning Tyrolean finish many years ago) and it will clean concrete like new. It removes all the algae from the surface (and any loose aggregate as well). It has a pressure of 1500lbs/sq in, that's enough to blast water straight through your skin and into the flesh. You don't play around with that.

 

I too have one!!!, it will even unblock drains with the right hose!

 

Let me know when you move to Suffolk, Pro

 

Returnmack,
what is a cleaning OCD?

 

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder ??

 

Yes - obsessive compulsive disorder. Not a blade of (closely cropped) grass out of place, loads of bare earth with nary a weed seedling in sight. I wouldn't mind, but my "naturalistic planting" (that's a euphemism) looks a bit scruffy by comparison!
