  1. Too dry? Pumpkins ans courgettes are very thirsty / hungry plants & need loads of manure & water to really thrive
  2. Think they are a good idea could be some privacy issues though? Doe it give out any info of info on your daily routine that might be sold on to third parties etc? Is your smart meter spying on you? | Energy bills | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM The French are getting heated up about their meters collecting data on their daily lives. Perhaps the British should be... Or is that tin foil hat stuff iv'e not really loooked at it in depth.....
  3. Stiga with honda engine: Stiga Combi 53 SVQ H Petrol 51cm Self-Propelled Lawn Mower | Lawn Mowers | Garden Machinery | Charlies WWW.CHARLIES.CO.UK Has a high lift blade as standard supposedly will bag better. Think there was/is a stiga dealer on here GardenKit he might have an opinion about this model etc.
  4. Engine that small size may struggle with any longer or damp grass i think, but that maybe less of and issue if grass is all regular cut. Its a 2.1KW non /own brand engine on rm253? the honda izy if a gx160 has 3.6 kW...
  5. In the tcv walling handbook it advises bridge over tree roots with a space left to alow trees to grow. 0r if the trees are more direct inline with wall infill round trees with rubble that can shift abit without pushing the wall down, or do butt ends & wooden rails .
  6. Thought viking was always a stihl owned sub- brand? Some cheaper mowers seem to have underpowered engines for the deck width and lack any anti - vibration control compared to more expensive ones. So id look out for thoose two things. Like the look of this coz of the new honda engine spec: Cobra MX534SPH 21" Petrol Powered Lawnmower WWW.COBRAGARDEN.CO.UK Not sure about what the build quality will be though.....and can't find the anti vibe data

  8. So does if it cut straight with new dawgs? Didn't think they woulds make go skew whiff...

    Extreme heat

    Bought a linen t shirt from lidl feels like having aircon wearing it compared to cotton was really suprised how much difference it made. Also dark colours really heat up compared to white if you ever worn a black top in sun you will know how its can cook u.... Man from del monty with his white linen suit was on to something I reckon.

    Well maybe Water intoxication - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG So its not just people on E's
  11. Why not use facines under the board walks? Were used on acient bog trackways and under roads and railways
  12. Thanks A thing missing with the with the battery products is how do you compare them if they don't list motor size? E.g the Echo DCS-1600 whats size motor is that & how does it compare to say the stihl msa220? You wouldn't spend £500 plus quid on a petrol a saw not knowing the engine spec but it seems normal for battery?

    Had to google comedogenic. Anyone use chiller/ cool box thinking this weather is bad for battery tools also
  14. Great info thanks think i kind of understand it now So? ES = easy start WES = horizontal easy start AC = auto choke TES = topper 3/8 TESC WESC = with 1/4 SX = pro But say the new CS-3510ES looks less "farmer" v the CS-352ES but its not in pro X range? But it is not as good as 362WES So its like there is 3 tiers in the 35cc class: homeowner/ farmer/ pro? & CS-390ESX isn't "x series label" but has x in name so "pro"?
  15. Yeah echo range is really confusing so many small similar saws hard to know whats what etc. Aren't the pro ones X series? But then from the myriad of the the none X series ones some are better spec than others? And why do some have 4 digit numbers and different letters some 3?
  16. New pro 40cc saws looks good.
  17. Straight one is here: PPT-2620H Gas In-Line Handle Power Pruner & Pole Saw | ECHO X Series WWW.ECHO-USA.COM ECHO's X Series PPT-2620H gas in-line handle pole saw makes tree trimming safe and easy. Keep your feet on the ground...
  18. Yeah was tempted by there makita 40v garden combi tools
  19. Branch logger make kindling? Probably not many place hire thoose though
  20. Maybe has fire retardants? Dunno if this is true for coconut but the supermarket stuff I had was hard to light compared to stuff I got off a local maker
  21. Im using "scooter oil" now after reading the specs API TC+, JASO FD Can't see brands makes any difference.... Mannol Scooter 2T Premium, 2-stroke Fully Synthetic Engine Oil, API TC+, JASO FD WWW.EBAY.CO.UK API TC+, JASO FD. Scooter 2T Premium. Modern universal two-stroke engine oil for scooters, mopeds and other scooter...
  22. Has the screw holes for em? Some here: 3-Point Westcoast Saw™ Felling Dogs WESTCOASTSAW.COM These 3-point felling dogs (bumper spikes) were co-designed and tested by Westcoast Saw™ customers and professional... Probably cheaper ones around on ebay
  23. Its not only the bark
