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.…"

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…"
