Sharp sand is also known as grit sand and is more like a fine aggregate with small pebbles and rougher sand. What kind of surface are you laying the slabs on ? If it's a concrete area you could spot it on cement but on soil or soft ground you could put hardcore down and wacker it flat then screed it with a dryish grit sand and cement mix and just drop the slabs on. I only use something like 6 sharp sand to 1 cement for this and they don't go anywhere if the hard core (20mm down to dust) is compacted well.

The cut stems are left where they are on top of the blackberry bushes growing round them so they don't come into contact with anywhere to root and I pierce the nodes with a piece of welding rod pushed down to the base of the stem on the thicker growth and just spray the leaves on the low growth. It is Bayer Glyphosate ready mixed I have been using and it has knocked it back considerably. It looks a reasonable price for the one on the website as it cost me £4 for a small hand sprayer full.

Tree ID, Pests and Controls
peatff replied to Dorset Treeman's topic in Tree Identification pictures
Bird cherry was what I bought my chain saw for. I had one in the garden that grew from a sucker. I ignored it for a bit too long and soon it had a trunk nearly a foot thick. I had a quote for £200 to remove it but I bought a saw instead and the wood went on the fire. -
What's the difference between those and this amenity glyphosate. We have some Knotweed over the wall on some waste ground and it's getting closer every year. I've weakened it by regular cutting and using some weedkiller down the stems but it would be easier to get in and just spray it later in the season.

What have you done so far ? Turn the H & L screws in till they seat (lightly, don't wrench them in or you'll knacker the seats) then turn them out about 1 to 1.25 full turns. Turn the tick over screw in to speed it up and start the saw. Run it till it warms up then slow the tick over down and tweak the L screw in till it speeds up and out till it bogs then go about half way in between then redo the tick over to where it doesn't throw the clutch in. Watch a couple of youtubes on setting a saw carb and you'll get the idea of what you are looking to do.

Puppy breath, before they were weaned and caps on a paper roll like someone else remembered when playing cowboys. Steam trains on the line down the road from us and the tunnel turrets through the town when the smoke used to billow out as the trains went underneath us.

You can get a petrol powered compressor or you could charge up a portable cylinder with a static compressor and use it to blow down till it runs out of pressure. An old Propane cylinder with a hole drilled in it and a Schrader valve fitted, caravan places use them to inflate tyres round the yard, commonly known as . You can use a smaller tank than his but it will limit your air time.

Dragging it back up I've been looking again and this Husqvarna 395XP looks a real bargain at £180 (NOT)

The Abtec one is for concrete and composite not metal. Why do you want diamond ? Ordinary abrasives will probably work out cheaper and get better results on metal.

Clean it out with some acetone, fill the hole with JB Weld then put the stud in place and let it set overnight.

Was he onto a money-spinner or what ?

Rumpelstiltskin ? An old bloke broke down on his chariot outside our house so I offered to take him and his scooter back home in our car. I nearly bust my hernia getting it in, they weigh a ton.

It's in an aviary, it's already caught . Go in with a bag and drop it over it, pull the draw string and stop pandering to the bl**dy thing We've had birds and they soon get used to regular treatment. A £2.99 bow saw from the local diy with a few Sandvik blades will do the job no problem.

Can't she take the owl out for the day while you do the job ?

It sounds like flooding, what oil and mix ratio are you using ?

Like a plug on the inside of the outer casing, got it.

From the .gov site "Businesses must: make sure people don’t smoke in enclosed work premises or shared vehicles display ‘no smoking’ signs in all workplaces and vehicles - in Wales they must be bilingual signs Fines and penalties Businesses can be fined up to £2,500 if they don’t stop people smoking in the workplace or up to £1,000 if they don’t display ‘no smoking’ signs. In Scotland, there is a fixed penalty fine of £200. If fine is not paid, it goes up to £2,500."

Show us an after picture please

Is it a lighter flywheel and a timing tweak ? That would perk it up a bit.

What stops the oil from going straight through the bar if it uses the tensioner hole ?
-
What's the turning circle like on the cream and blue one. Are they called County because that's how much room you need to turn round ? Nice line up and pictures.
