  1. 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.

  2. That simple.

    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.

  3. 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.

  4. need more info. Veg beds? Bedding plants? Herbaceous plants. what weeds? annuals? perennials? I think you get the idea

    This. Do you want to sow seed now? Later? Replant? :confused1:

  5. 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.

  6. Incidentally, I have noticed in Spain (and possibly elsewhere) they usually plant three or four trees very close together and they grow into one another (adding to the gnarly look). Why is this done?

    Do they? Most of the best examples are solitary 'standards'. It will only take 100 years or so to achieve the look you want.
