  1. I bought a light landscaping rake from Digbits which i intended to use for raking wildflower meadow grass and getting the thatch out at the same time but I found it difficult to not gouge out lumps of turf with it. It was fairly easy to bend a tine as well if you caught a large stone so went back to hand raking in the end.

    I now use it for turning my large vegetable bed over and roughly levelling it.

  2. Thanks to Stihls ridiculous Online Policy, I have been looking for a recent second hand Brushcutter on Ebay. I have noticed how many brushcutters on Ebay fail to show in the photo or mention the harness or simply have a loop harness supplied.

    It's impossible to use a professional model without one, so I can't help wondering why.

    Are they nicked?

  3. Has anybody ever used a powerful Back Pack Blower to shift dry long grass into heaps, for collecting up, instead of raking it up?

    I'm talking about grass in a Churchyard that gets cut a couple of times a year but has to be raked off. I have always used hay rakes in the past, just looking to speed up the process if possible.
