Wildlife in the garden

Have just read the article on fawn in the garden. Would it not be great if wildlife/weeds( flowers in the wrong place) could live in harmony with we gardeners. Finding the balance is not always easy. Rabbit on lawn - perfect picture- next morning no tops left on newly planted annuals. Deer in the field opposite grazing peacefully oblivious to me enjoying the moment at a distance moving closer to home as I sleep only to pull out parts of the newly planted beech hedge. Foxes - pests to many but almost every alternate year they make their home under the rhododendrons and that year I have the pleasure of watching the cubs scamper about the lawn and I know I can safely plant my annuals. Weeds or wildflowers i.e nettles, pink campion, poppies, foxglove to name but a few, in the garden know no boundaries and much as I am quite happy for them to provide extra greenery and flowers I wish they would not spread themselves about quite so much.

"Thanks Adam, an interesting counter-argument! 2 questions- 1) is this just the throttle-stop screw, and 2) are they then very noisy?  We do seem to have some very noise-averse customers!"

"Peter Sellers - you are sort of wrong ref the RM48SPH.... I have several...ALL of mine have been tuned - to a VERY brisk walk on full throttle.

"I was tempted by the Weibang, but horrified by the weight!  Having seen Adam's comments, I'm tempted to look at the Cobra RM48SPH (this is mostly doing small-medium gardens).  What are other people's thoughts re this mower, or Cobra in general?"

"We had a Weibang for 3 years and had no issues with it, but it was just so heavy. Plus, if you have a 4 wheeler for the wet then you don't need to worry about wet collection with your roller mower. That's why we have the Hayter, we think they're…"
