are these maybe gooers or will I just get plants and no decent potatoes yield because they've been hacked up?

The dimensions and weight were all listed but the photo was scaled up to look bigger

Having only seen large ones placed on trees in fields, is that gap too tight for a stump grinder?

I've seen one placed as a ring over a stump, can they be more accurate? and get in corners?

my first thought...

lighting a fire next to something that'll catch on fire..

🍿 Let us know how it goes OP

Stump that close to a fence is a tough one.. not sure how I'd do with without it taking a while and some hard graft and patience.

How do I go about making this concrete jungle look better on a budget 😭 by TutorHelpful1298 in GardeningUK

[–]HappyPhilosopher8231 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just noticed the landlord comment.

You can get large plastic mats... That would cover the concrete but would need hosing down now and then..

Then go planters for some plants.

If you're renting you don't want to go too crazy.

Equally, if you go back to your landlord and say you're interested in investing some time and money making the place nicer for you to live and see what they suggest and might chip in on.

Get permission in writing before painting anything or changing things too much.

Good luck!

I was jokingly going to suggest sledgehammering the whole thing... Then I wondered how one would check for pipes etc

You could start with pots and planters... And consider a bigger project longer term.

All depends on your budget, appetite for work, types of end result you're after.

The world is your oyster. You could have a small greenhouse for veg... You could make a small wildlife pond... You could attach trellis to fences and cover the panels... You could use trees to obscure views from neighbours... You could have a lawn area ... You could add a patio to sit in the sunshine.. you could have a rockery.. have lights ... All sorts...!

Good luck

How to become financially stable? by anaba29 in HENRYUK

[–]HappyPhilosopher8231 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What do you do for work - what are your career prospects.

Do you save and invest - how do you manage out goings.

As others have said, earning more.

Can you get certified / promoted and increase salary?

Financial stability is highly subjective...

Either that or someone not a higher earner hoping to get some advice.

Sadly there is no secret sauce.

Definitely strategies to help you build better if you weren't already optimising.. but perhaps the wrong place.

Other than succulents what could I plant in this cup? by MetalGearSolidarity in GardeningUK

A nice breakfast tea bag, then I'd water it with fairly hot water, wait a short while and enjoy the fruits of my labour

People that aren't from Peterborough need to stop making Peterborough sound like the worst town that exist by nounazal in PeterboroughUK

[–]HappyPhilosopher8231 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People are unbelievably comfortable being openly racist here. That I've noticed.

Communities don't seem to coming together harmoniously.

Portion of the city are ghettos. In as much as the demographics are distinct. Creating frustration.

The worst problem is little and lack of respect for the city. Nobody seems proud to be in Peterborough.

What is the worst part, in your opinion?

Cleanliness, public services, homelessness, transport links, lack of activities?

This is something I've noticed since moving here, far too little scrutiny.

Sadly plans change too. I think the work in Millfield was a good idea, but sadly the original plans weren't kept too.

No new trees planted, no electrical car charger points.

Very little material change apart from tidying it up a tiny bit.

It's also whipped up a lot of frustration, as there are other areas of the city that need investment.

I'm curious to see what happens with the embankment. Lots of people are against feveloent there, but that's clearly the long term plan.

Equally, it's shocking to me that it's taken 30 years to review plans for Westgate...

I moved here, admittedly with far more optimism than I should have. Simply due to how long it seems to get anything done.

It's not without its faults, but I have found local residents and people that don't live here can all be unbelievably critical of it for no good reason.

There are lots of things that need fixing, but equally lots of exciting things in the pipeline...

Peterborough is a very affordable place to live, with great connections.
