  1. I once cut some grass for a neighbour of a empty shop owned by the council as it was getting through his fence and onto his path and looking unsightly the council threatened to sue him for trespass if he did it again
  2. did a paddock a few years ago they got a farmer in to rotavate it and not a brilliant job but the grass varieties and soil were too strong for wild flower meadow and it did ok the first year but after that not so good but what struck me was the price of yellow rattle seed you could have bought gold cheaper by weight
  3. its calmed down now it got very blustery by lunch time nearly 70 mph gusts lost some glass out of the greenhouse and it has flattened my spuds
  4. nice to see the old girl still earning a living
  5. try your local agricultural chemical / crop protection supplier I think you will get the same product but a different name a lot cheaper
  6. look at the spark arrester make Shure its not bunged up with carbon
  7. a long pole nock the nests out as they build them
  8. Stihl has had problems with on/off switches on there machines for a lot of years since they started to use components from china. a few years ago I had the same problem on a blower took it in and the brother in law work there and said it was a known fault and got it sorted free but they had not made it public knowledge
  9. my worry is that I will not be allowed to burn my end of life boots to get the last few pence out of the cost new and it saves them going to land fill
  10. I bet most of the public do not know whom HETAS is, it seem expensive for a small business if your customer's are happy with what you supply and you sell out of logs each year do not entertain them. There is nothing like customers word of mouth for promoting your business
  11. the second video was not very good just waiting for a log to fall on his toes and it was walking backwords all the time the arm kept sticking and did not seem to cope with anything slightly knotty it wants to be on a stand or your back will be suffering after half a hour
  12. lucky me I have missed it I have been to Otley show all day but the Mrs is now watching the highlights
  13. I have the wolf 4mt multi head cannot fault it good pruning saw attachment too. I have recently retired so I have one going cheep if you are near Leeds give me a pm
  14. that depends how often you want to cut the lawn and what weeds it has I would go for a low nitrogen +a fe content then a separate spray weed killer to do the weeds that are present if you use a high n feed you will be cutting it every 2 days unless it is a controlled release formula
  15. did you nick them off Wallis (wrong trousers)
  16. when I tried both of the numbers it said not found I have just tried again and it came up with the details
  17. you asked for a link to what I found if you type the reg no in it dos not find it (non existent)
  18. https://vehicleenquiry.service.gov.uk/
  19. false plates on the van just checked on the dvla web site
  20. a starling fledgling in the garden today perched on the side of the water butt went back out a few minutes later to make shore it had not fallen in
  21. another 5mm of rain today it will take a few weeks to dry up before its possible to get on the land
  22. you are right about the work ethic that is why they use a lot of labour from the Philippines and all the industries are owned by the Arabs and not foreigners also they control the market the same as they do for oil and can influence the price
  23. do not forget there gold and diamond reserves
  24. had about 20mm of rain today and is become quite foggy now back to square one with the land water is stood on top its that wet
  25. got some first earleys in pots in the greenhouse just starting to poke though
