I use Makita 2t oil, which i doubt is as good... (But none of my kit is top end) I treat all the petrol I buy, then it's good as pure petrol for the mower & wheeled strimmer, and when I add 2t oil it's good for the 2 stroke kit too.
-
For what it's worth, I use various 2 stroke kit quite infrequently (home use only). I use E5 petrol (super unleaded or whatever) and a fuel stabiliser, Briggs & Stratton I think. I can leave a strimmer unused for 5 months or so with fuel in it and it will fire up after a few pulls. I've probably jinxed it now!

What is it? I want one!

How steep was the slope?! Got a few sloping sections in my garden and was thinking about a ride on, but maybe a robotic mower would be less risky...

Just tried again for two minutes - 8 this time! Blue tit, robin, chiffchaff, woodpigeon, wren, blackcap, sparrow and crow. Saw a buzzard, but it didn't call so Merlin didn't count it!

👍 I've just got 4 birds in a one minute recording! Chiffchaff, blackbird, robin and black cap. Probably better earlier in the morning as you say, or might try for a longer recording later on if I get a chance.

Is that 13 birds in 9 minutes?

Get a lot of leaflets offering insulation, heat pumps etc. round our way at the moment. I feel anything they're pushing so hard is not for our benefit, but to relieve the government of money. I fear the job would be shoddy, and the installers would be long gone when the problems started. I could be cynical and wrong of course!
-
That's my understanding too. But given that the winter stream flow is enough to pull apart gabions I'm not sure that fascines would gather much silt or make much difference?
-
Do they reduce erosion much? I've got a bit of stream bank where the gabions are collapsing, wonder if some brushwood could help hold it all together without much expense.

Told you so!

Bark in the first pic looks a bit like London plane to me, but I'm in no way an expert!

It helps if you wear women's clothing too, apparently...

Holy cow. I just realised this update was 5 years later. Time has flown by. 😑
