How do you tell if it was assarting rather than planted or self seeded on the bank ? Coppiced trees can live alot longer than as maidens so its probably very old? Banks degrade/ collaspe over time need upkeep to maintain the original profile, in wales they have various styles and are called Cloddiau similar to the ones in the west country etc. https://www.gwynedd.llyw.cymru/en/Council/Documents---Council/Strategies-and-policies/Environment-and-planning/Biodiversity/Habitat-Action-Plans/Cloddiau-HAP.pdf Also might be old grey squirrel damage barking on the syc?

500w seems abit low for a mower? Honda GCV160 is 3.3kw and still struggles sometimes if grass is abit long etc? Might have to cut lawns twice as often I guess?

Cheapest carb is £38 I have the same saw but it doesn't run when hot

Run timess stated look good esp for the larger battteries. Being dissapointed with my makita battery strimmer, it works fine but only runs15 mins at most with 2 5amp batteries. What size lecky motor is in that mower? I'd want to know that so I could have a rough idea of how much power it has V a petrol one? I'd think the self propelled will use batteries alot faster? Price of petrol atm getting more batteries stuff seems a good idea. Also no hassle with E5 E10 fuel etc.

Unsure what the mystery is about the use of a well / natural spring? Mystery is in the stone steps design? Step wells are common in india. Guessing maybe some local rich bloke who had travelled there got the idea to tart it up at one time with the fancy steps? Or maybe a sheep dip but design looks wrong?

I have this mower and its being fine but doesn't bag unless you take the fabric bag off and clean it inside which is a hassle. Was thinking of getting a side discharge Any recommendations for a side discharge for under £500? I found this though it looked ok spec?

They look like like fairly small trees, though its hard to tell the scale from thoose photos. First photo the image is blurry but from the leaf shape does look like a cherry covered in ivy? Third one is a cherry. Looks like the last photo is a leylandi and maybe the second one also. Why not leave the some of the cherries maybe crown raise etc, and remove or just cut any ivy off at base of trunks, and just get rid of the leylandis? Its also the right time of year to prune cherries with regards to avoiding silver leaf. In the third photo, is that red brick wall on left your house? Might need traffic management as roadside?

Alot of places round here the local estates have apparently retained both the sporting rights and mineral ones to peoples otherwise private back gardens etc.

Interesting that they are good for banks, as I always assumed they would need very lvl perfect lawns too avoid scalping as the cut height looks very low & isn't adjustable? Banks are often bumpy & rough due to rabbits always digging etc, but maybe there are some nice smooth contoured ones about. I see that other companies are still making there version of them.

Some pictures would help.

Is LPG still around I haven't heard as much about it recently? You would think if is cheaper/available with the current fuel price, it would make it more popular now but seems ther are less than there used to be? Some talk of it being phased out etc.

Well one of the pull rings on the hendon adjustment pins somehow broke without me noticting and lost a spring so need to get a replacement spring. Hendon Spare Spring - Radmore & Tucker WWW.RADMORETUCKER.CO.UK Spare replacement spring for use with Hendon Tripod Ladders. Weight - 0.02 kg Brand - Hendon Ladders Only happened as the rings to pull the springs/pins are very weak/filmsy ,I think i will see if I can find more beefy ones to fit and replace them. Chunky one:

That article is a one of thoose top 10 lists written just for ad revenue? Seems like junk content and a slightly random list as I can see alot of the ones they recommended are rubbish brands? Felco fiskars a wolf are decent, Spear & jackson once was many yrs ago a quality brand but it hasn't being for decades, the rest are some random low grade chinese stuff?

Being using this blade recently it works really well, you have to use it with the same motion, you use with a scythe. The grass this year is denser than ever as its being exceptionally wet weather for this time of year. Would work even better i reckon if the strimmer has some kind of grass cradle fitted.

Why is the plastic grass so lumpy looks like a japanese moss garden 🙂

Google just gave me 2 slightly conflicting info /search results on pin v pinless with regarded to accuracy. Not sure they are better?

Locum GPs are on about £800 per day so not all front line staff are that poorly payed. Others are though esp the support staff etc.

Yes better off using it with a saw tooth blade for the 1 inch blackthorn etc Oregon Brush Cutter Baltt EIA, 110975 200 x 25.4 mm : Amazon.co.uk: Garden & Outdoors WWW.AMAZON.CO.UK Free delivery and returns on all eligible orders. Shop Oregon Brush Cutter Baltt EIA, 110975 200 x 25.4 mm. They work well don't but mulch brambles though.... so best to have both blades

I wonder if one big factor in the recent scandals regarding poor care quality & culture across whole hospitals is due to staff shortages. Is there was a surplus of nurses and doctors it wouldn't be an automatic job once qualified. I suppose like chainsaws tickets everyone who passes isn't actually that competent but they can't get rid of any if are they are desperate for staff?

My only concern with grass mowings near/on spuds was that it might encourage blight as they go damp mouldy etc but probably doesn't make any difference?. Blight is forcast with the hutton criterea /climatic condition for commercial premeptive spraying. I sometimes stick mowings between the rows after the spuds have being earthed up.
