  1. I know I know. And needless to say the accountant should be doing it not TCD!
  2. When you register for VAT it's up to you to state the period that your first return will cover. The subsequent quarters just follow from that.
  3. Just call HMRC and explain the situation. They should be able to scrub the return and your accountant can resubmit.
  4. Whitebeam -- Sorbus aria. (Alder doesn't have berries.)
  5. There must be weight on the hitch. Think about it, if the trailer is rear heavy the hitch and the rear of the vehicle are unweighted. This means that the rear of the trailer becomes controlling and has a negative influence on the front of the trailer (hitch) and the rear of the vehicle. There's a lot more activity at the pivot point than there should be. The longer the trailer the worse the problem because the weight (think pendulum) is farther from the pivot.

    Weeding

    Given the plant spend I am assuming, perhaps wrongly, that this is a densely planted mixed border or borders. Blanket spraying isn't therefore an option and pre-emergent would see off any perennials.

    Works very well but very expensive -- not many suppliers. Contains a weed suppressant.

    As said, there are no shortcuts. £60K is an awful lot of plants or not so many but big. Must be an extensive planting. Hoeing is good but best on a bright day; Cape Cod weeder; small fork or trowel; spot spray with Roundup where you can. Get them out before they seed and when you're done fine bark mulch as deep as poss.

    This. Do you want to sow seed now? Later? Replant?
  10. This. Hold the underside of the cap and twist the top to the unlock position before re-inserting and locking.
  11. 20 tonne digger and a landscaping rake or a mahoosive tractor with rigid tine cultivator. You will probably need to disc it down after.
  12. Try: Stihl Timbersports bum bag - 0986 300 0001
  13. Made a few of these from solvent welded PVC pipe. Lots out there, e.g., Koi carp/pond/irrigation/swimming pool equip. suppliers.
  14. Thanks Stubby, 42cc 'High Torque', so between the 535 and the 545. (Not sure if the High Torque bit is just marketing speak.)
  15. I'm a fan of the Husqvarna 535RXT. We need another machine and was thinking to try an Echo SRM-420. Any one run one? Any good?
  16. Without seeing a mature leaf I think Robinia is a good shout. Young growth has the pea like look of Robinia. (Magnolia would be well in leaf by now and leaves are too small.)
  17. So true. Start at the top and work down. Also works a treat on bamboo.
  18. Crikey, there's one in a feed bag next to my shed. Better get it in a pot.
  19. Search for "bull rope" on eBay. eBay ain't all bad.
  20. The red parts are the unfurling petals of the flower.
  21. Can't help only sympathise. I had exactly the same problem with a 14HP Briggs & Stratton Vanguard on a Logic mower. I went right through the fuel system: stripped the card several times, new filter, new pump. Put it into a local small engine guy who declared it fixed but it wasn't. I suspect it's valve related. Can't be without the mower so swapped the B&S for a 14HP, electric start, Chinese unit.
  22. Cheese. I travel light but my wife tops up with Manchego
  23. Do they? Most of the best examples are solitary 'standards'. It will only take 100 years or so to achieve the look you want.
