Waterproof trousers

Think this has been asked before looking for waterproof overtrousers with min rating of 15000 HH. Must have three quarter length leg zips with popper closure over the zips, not velcro. There are a few out there but once you start reading the reviews…

DAX Industries RC900 Remote Control Mower

This mower is an absolute beast. Finished a huge job that would have taken 4-5hrs of Strimming in just over 1hr with the remote control slope mower. Not only did it take grass that hadn't been cut in 2 years, it took the slopes in its stride and…

Angela Sharp replied to Josh Thompson's discussion Ivy Removal

"In my experience ivy does not go gently into the good night and doesn't like to just let go once it's dead. The adventitious roots tend to cling on for a long time and then it just looks brown and some of the leaves would fall off and make a mess.…"

Torin replied to Terry's discussion Suggestions to tidy up our crumbling garden walls

"I would just bite the bullet and demolish and rebuild it properly im afraid, its probably just a single skin non frost brick and been built with no water protection on the rear and no weep holes.
If you render or clad it you will likely have future…"

Neil Ruddick replied to Josh Thompson's discussion Ivy Removal

"Is cutting the base away, and using glyphosate on the stumps an option? Just so that the ivy dies away and falls off the masonry without taking any mortar and brickwork with it."

Tim Bucknall replied to Josh Thompson's discussion Ivy Removal

"Firstly, as Adam has said, make sure you have in writing that you're not liable for any damage. Secondly, don't do it until at least August, it's probably full of nests and it's an offence under the wildlife and countryside act to damage or disturb…"

Peter sellers replied to Peter sellers's discussion Stihl HLA 86

"Ok thanks"

Billybop replied to Peter sellers's discussion Stihl HLA 86

"Hi I find it's not so much the stroke rate an issue on this machine but a relative lack of power behind it compared to the HLA135 (which is shorter, not telescopic due to rear motor). The HLA85 / HLA86 are ok on annual growth but slow on older…"

I do have a large dose of cynicism regarding the show gardens with exhibitors stretching the boundaries of practicality,appreciate it's a showcase for design and new ideas which I don't take issue with.However we have Monty Don's "dog friendly"…

Andrew replied to Josh Thompson's discussion Ivy Removal

"Assuming that its a reasonably modern build with lime-free hard pointing its vanishingly unlikely that ivy roots can/would penetrate the structure.In my experience any issues arise on older lime mortar structures-farm buidings etc where the mortar…"

Peter sellers replied to Peter sellers's discussion Stihl HLA 86

"Thanks Neil appreciated. From the reviews I've seen onYT the dead mans trigger does come in for complaint If we get one will tape it open ! Currently exploring buying a 1mt extension tube and long reach hedgecutter attachments for our existing Stihl…"

Neil Darby replied to Peter sellers's discussion Stihl HLA 86

"Hi Peter, I have just swapped from HLA 85 (8 years old) which was on its last legs to the 86. It seems heavier, but maybe it's just me. I use AP300 in all my hedgetrimmers, one battery can last all day, for me, as apposed to petrol running…"

John F replied to Josh Thompson's discussion Ivy Removal

"All very useful and relevant advice above , I would add don't be tempted to over reach up a ladder to grab that tempting strand of dangling ivy , very easy to misjudge and lose your balance .
I find those wolf garten patio weeders and the hook…"
