Dave Colton replied to Peter sellers's discussion Bahco tools vs Chinese?

"But the shoe analogy doesn't work as when the tool that you using lets down when you need it then most when used in the field to fix something to get job finished and your cheap socket shatters or the gap in the spanner has loads of slop in it."

Stihl Motomix fuel

I've always been sceptical about using this fuel as I just reckoned it a waste of money at 3x the price at the pumps. Anyway, read you can leave it in machines for years with no problem and having some tools that just get used once a year at the…

Dear Juicers,
It's that time of year again (already), finishing off little jobs, last minute present runs... before winding down for the holidays. Christmas is always a favorite in our household, my Dad used to love it, and would keep the…

"We use one of these https://www.progreen.co.uk/sds-algoclear-softwash-delivery-system-p... - pricey but brilliant. So much quicker to apply, no mixing and nothing heavy to carry."

Graham Taylor replied to Adam Woods's discussion This works well

"I always find it best to strim off moss where its significantly above the surface and then spray the area. I uses BAC50 from Trade Chemicals https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/232214948482?_skw=bac+50&itmmeta=01J... I get a 25 litre container…"

Jake replied to Adam Woods's discussion This works well

"Out of interest what are you spraying to get rid of the moss, how many times a year do you apply and do you find you still need manual removal or are the chemicals good enough?

Hi Anthony

Have a look at the Sedum mix on this site. http://www.lindumgreenroofs.co.uk/ I don't know if they'd send it here, but I thought it might be an alternative if you have trouble getting the indigenous plants to grow on that roof.

Thanks for this. I am still trying to figure out how this all works. I see already that you are planning to emigrate to the UK? Can this be true, or are you just fishing? I am interested to sommunicate with the other pool builders, and will see if there is common ground.

Ta again
