To be fair the garden i tackled was in the same street. It took 3 goes and still the odd bit after.

I think you should have gone back in 4 weeks to see how much needed retreating

When ploughing in the early 80s with a ford 6610 2 wheel drive tractor there was a wet patch in one field and we had a fordson major with a winch standing by so as soon as i lost traction I would get winched through with the plough in the ground. A couple of days drying and the ground would be safe to cultivate. If left un-ploughed it would have taken weeks

A few bits of charcoal off the BBQ works very well

Step cutting unrigged large white willow branches

Put a felling cut in. Bore through and create your hinge. If the branch is too thin to bore through, angle your bore cut so you leave some holding wood. On very thin leaning branches your bore cut could end up vertical. Cut either side of the hinge as already said, then cut the holding wood! -

It depends where you need it and whether you want to kill everything or just the nettles. Salt will stay active in the soil and might make it impossible to get other plants to grow there. In small areas you can be selective in what you kill with glyphosate by applying spray strength to rubber gloves and then touching the leaves of the plants you want dead. Don't use glyphosate stronger than the recommended dose, this can be counter productive!

When cutting this type of hedge to promote growth and to thicken up the final size hedge i would cut it back about 6" further than the final size. Then trim the new growth to closer to the final size until thickened up!

I bought one. It was great for the first few seconds, then the filter was blocked. Unblocked the filter then it was great again. Go back to the start and repeat as many times as you like! I gave up on it and it has gone to the tip

I would be contacting them with a quote for the fencing and asking which department to send the bill to.
