Did my first gardening job of the year (I always take a break in January as it's ususally cold and miserable). Surprisingly the soil was very easy to work - I expect the snow and ice we've had has helped break up the clay.. it made me realise that ac

"Hi James. I bought the Pick Tine and have only used it on one job. This was on a flower bed with soft soil. Perhaps I'm wrong, but, I look at tools as to how often they are used and therefore value for money. The hedge cutter, pruner and strimmer (s…"
"I’d say the hedge trimmer attachment is not as good as some others on the market, Stihl’s old version was brilliant, the new one I would not buy again. "
"Hi James, what attachments do you consider not to be so good? I am doing the same as you and building up my collection "
"Agree that ground cover planting needs careful selection but by definition you want them to spread by rhizomes or stolon to cover the surface beneath shrubs and / or herbaceous plants. It may require some weeding initially while the ground cover pla…"
"Cheers Gary. As with Dom, you have answered my concerns. I do have the Kombi kit and am rapidly increasing the number of attachments - some good, some not so good, hence my question. Do you happen to use the path edger? this is something else I am c…"
"Good point about soil being ill. Membrane must interrupt the normal activity of worms, and may interrupt the passage of nutrients and possibly the funghi that are an essential part of the normal structure of healthy soil. I wonder how much it affect…"
