Recommendations for Petrol Grass Strimmers
Hi all.I recently purchased a Trueshopping grass strimmer. As caretaker of a school, I have some quite large areas of weeds and nettles etc to keep at bay. I assembled the unit, which took quite a while and then attempted to start it. Well, it did even want to fire up at all. After further investigation I discovered that the sparkplug was not even remotely tight within its housing. Even more alarming was the poor design of the spark plug cover and lead connection. The spring into which the…

Which Stihl Brushcutter Blade ?
Once in a while I need to cut wild clumpy grass with meter high nettles & bindweed. It's often wet. What's the best Stihl blade for this ? I don't think the shedding blade would work as it has downturned ends that might catch on stones etc. I was going to get the standard 4 lobed blade but Stihl say this is for long dry grass.

Pond pump query
My Oase 6000 pump has stopped working. It has given many years of service, so I don't blame it!Whilst investigating the problem, I discovered that my multimeter was reading approx 280v. It was showing 249v on other items fed from the same source. Is it perhaps picking up a reading from the pump's capacitor or does the high reading simply indicate an internal fault in the pump?

4-12-12 Lawn Feed. Ok for pots and borders?
Client is fed up of wasting fertiliser on a lawn that may be dug up in the future. Would some bags of 4-12-12 lawn fertiliser by a brand I'm sure most of you are are familiar with be suitable for use as a top dressing for pots and borders? Of course a weed and feed would not be suitable, but am I right I'm saying that this 4-12-12 is probably identical to something sold as a granular feed?Thanks in advance
