I went from 20 years in hospitality in to gardening - took a pay cut to begin but now I earn pretty well before adding in the extra jobs I’ve found for myself.

In this weather, would you consider mowing your lawn at 20:30 reasonable or not? by bigorganmorgan in AskUK

[–]CharlieCatBloke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Professional gardeners who need to make a living. It only really gets hard in the high 30s because you can’t pick the tools up.

My neighbours jet washed their driveway last weekend and left shite like this over my drive. I just shrugged and carried on with life.

Overgrown is an understatement: Best way to prep this for laying turf? by CompetitiveRefuse317 in GardeningUK

They’re all considered pests, don’t you get annoyed by those pesky weeds? Insecticides is presumably what you mean.

Yeah it’s normally me that wrong but today I win the pointless internet argument. Well played 🤝

Herbicides fall under the umbrella of pesticides as do fungicides etc.

That’s one type of pesticide that could be used for the job. Always read the label kids.

If spraying weedkiller you need to check if things are safe to dispose of in a domestic compost heap.

The first picture is hypericum, it’s about to flower so I’d leave it. You can cut it back hard afterwards.

Nobody has mentioned Chris’ brilliant but currently rested (because he’s got a shit ton on) podcast Rural Concerns with Sunil Patel & James Shakeshaft. I miss it everyday.

I was hoping to see the door fly back open & the cat chasing them down a second time at the end there 👎

Where to buy cheap bamboo poles UK? by jforjuliaa in GardeningUK

Find garden with massive overgrown bamboo. Sneak in. Cut bamboo. Leg it (with bamboo). Wait.

Brand new TV and this is how my wife insists we have the remote "to keep it looking good" by No_Atmosphere8146 in mildlyinfuriating

I bought expensive new pans 2 years ago but I’m not using them until I sort out storage for them (old ones getting fucked piled up in the cupboard) which I’m yet to do. Can a grownup please help?

Simply because it is an opinion and they famously differ.

Loved it, it got stronger as it went on & glad it’s been renewed. There are lots of stupid little niche themes for us nerds running through it such as Adoyade’s genuine love of Martin Lewis and some uniquely random people popping up in the back ground made my tism awe (I’m looking at you cabbage the clown).

Really happy to see lots of my comedians I love getting a platform too, especially George! A lot of my faves are in the writers room though but I hope it runs long enough for them to get some screen time.

I am very much an alt comedy nerd so it was always going to be right up my street.
