Injection of Roundup directly into stems is recommended. Do not move cut stems without a license as it is classified as hazardous waste.

Contact your local councillor & ask if its an efficient use of taxpayers money.

Drove to Folkstone the other week. My satnav (TomTom) decided on a shortcut via the Eurotunnel Freight Terminal. Stopped by the barrier & feeling like a complete idiot wound down the window, pointed to the satnav & started to explain to the woman. She cut me short & said "dont worry it happens all the time", gave me a ticket saying I had been rejected & opened the barrier. I will probably frame the ticket.

Lots of secondhand books on amazon.co.uk Some for crazy low prices Also try abe.com (Advanced Book Exchange) but only order from the booksellers listed as UK unless you want to pay massive postage.

On hard surfaces you can use a raking/brushing device fitted to your Stihl Combitool head.
-
Not an expert, but I think that Stihl are overrated compared to Husky. Doubt if there is much difference in build quality & reliability. Husky bars are slimmer & less kickback. Anyone complaining a Husky wont start probably has the air filter switched to winter setting, or vice versa

NEVER but NEVER take a cheque. Personal cheques can be declared void by the bank up to six months AFTER it has cleared. The bank will then just take the money back out of YOUR account Bankers drafts have been forged or stolen. Shed loads of blank building society cheques have been nicked in tageted raids. My wife had her bank account frozen for weeks for just accepting a stolen cheque, the fraudster didnt get any goods as she was waiting for it to clear.

The market on Ebay is no different to the old street market. You see something, tell the man you want some of that. He stuffs something in a bag. Do you check whats in there before you walk away ? Do you check your change ? Has he given you change for a quid instead of a fiver? Has somebody dipped your pocket as you walk away? The market is still the market and you need to keep your wits.
-
But you must have bypassed the most basic of security measures by not logging directly into the Ebay site and then reading your messages there. I bought an Ebay bargain recently (from a non dodgey source), always logged in directly to Ebay, checked his Ebay star rating, talked to the bloke on the phone, paid by Paypal, collected it from his house.

90's are much better off road. My old one has 3 seats in the front.

Use a brushcutter on it first & then spray regrowth with glyphosphate (Roundup etc).

Cut that burr off next time you are passing, it would carve into a very nice bowl.

As I understand it you need at least two heaps of composting woodchip a minimum of three metres high each. You have to time the building of them such that as your first passes its peak heating, the second one kicks in in order to give you a continuous supply of heated water. Probably need a front end loader, unless you want to shovel it by hand. And apparently the heaps produce some nasty niffs in their later stages of composting. Not forgetting of course that for reasons of efficiency its best to have them right next to your house.
