    Flowering time is also dependent on what the varieties are.... Daffodil Bulbs for Every Stage of Spring - Horticulture WWW.HORTMAG.COM Planning to buy bulbs? Take a look at our favorite daffodils for each stage of spring.
  3. Agree, why a corded for such a lawn, sounds abit of a crazy idea and would be a pain to use with trees. Only benefit is cheap to run Makitas do one though for 1000m2 its even self propelled. ELM4621X - Electric Lawn Mower 46cm MAKITAUK.COM Product EDIT just seen you listed this one already 🙂 Just googled the husky robot ones, priced at, from £700 to 4K, and the £700 only does 600m2 so you would need 2....

  5. Think the scheme is a good idea, but could of being made open to refugees of all nations? Don't know if many ukraine ones will be able to go home for yrs, maybe not ever, dependent on what happens/who wins looking at ukraine atm.... Will take many billions to rebuild ukriane housing etc and many yrs... What happens after 6 month if thay all cant go home, many might end up staying in homes alot longer unless gov finds other acommadtion in UK which it has a poor track record of. Goverment spends a fortune housing refugees often in squalour with the private landlords making alot of money out of it. Refugees are being housed in infested hotels by the Home Office’s slum landlords - Corporate Watch CORPORATEWATCH.ORG As Clearsprings Ready Homes' profits skyrocket

  7. Im 5 10" can do it fine without crate 😄 but find it just makes it alot easier & more ergonomic abit like how holding up a hegde trimmer above shoulder height is harder work than same job using a step up. Used both rubber (useless) and steel maul (they are ok), but alu is superior imo and doesn't seem to knacker the post tops as much as the steel one. Also prefer it to to thoose tube knockers As for crow bar on bad ground you can use it to nudge clear though smaller stones or if you hit big one you can't pass you keep making new holes alongside until you find some clear ground.

  12. I use an alu maul stood on a beer crate. I recommend the lighter alu maul over the heavier head weight ones (they come in different head weights) . Lighter one is alot less hard work really noticed the difference.... Crow bar a a really good hole first then on good ground doesn take that much effort. How many posts like 25 or more like 100's? Farm jack is useful to as a post puller....
  13. Impressive job looks like hard work doing all the oversized stuff that looks gnarly and intertwined branches what tree species are they? & what is the red topper?
