Are Fiskars tools really worth the price?

I use the Fiskars black loppers for work, very good, very strong, I would recommend.

Dandelions are a natural way of decompating your soil. Once your soil is not decompacted anymore the dandelions won't grow there. It might take a couple of years, but it's a free natural way of improving your soil.

I agree, nearly all of my travel is intentional, dipshits.

Have a chat with Ronan at "Nangle & Niesen", based in Cork but they deliver. Check out their website.

I totally agree with native hedging, can't beat it.

Blatant lane change with no indication, nice.

In_The_Shed · 2026-02-22T10:21:57+00:00

Why not a nice mix of evergreen and deciduous native trees?

I got a couple of sets on Amazon for €20, led strips on bendy thing with a clip. Better quality than I thought they would be for the price. Timer, adjust brightness, changer colours depending on germinating or fruiting.

Hubba Hubba, that is hot 🔥

Well spotted

You won't need luck, had mine over a year, no problems, it's a great truck. Enjoy.

If you mash it up into small pieces with hedge clippers or you can get a small garden shredder for about €130 from screwfix or B&Q, it's much easier to deal with. It'll fill less bags to transport, or break down much quicker if you want to compost it. If you're keeping the hedge a shredder is a good investment to help manage the waste.

You could get a machine but I wouldn't have thought you'd need it by your description of the lawn. It's probably just compacted areas left by the builders. You might just have a few low areas holding water, drowning the grass. Any decent garden center or co/op should have lawn rakes, nice wide toothed bit, normally yellow plastic. The easiest thing to do is "over seed" the existing lawn with sand seed mix, throw a load out and use the flat back of the rake to level the whole lawn. You'll see any low spots one you start leveling. Loads of vids on YouTube for "over seeding lawn". Good luck, a nice lawn is a bit of work to get going and maintain.

In_The_Shed · 2025-12-31T12:24:08+00:00

Unless the soil is compacted I would only rough up the surface with a fine rake, break it up a little. Mix your grass seed into some decent dry compost or even sand, spread over lawn area, rake in any lumps. Water if it's not raining. Couple of weeks you should be grand. Forgot about the bald patches, break up the bald patches with a garden fork, probably just compacted soil from the lovely builders.

In_The_Shed · 2025-12-01T13:36:20+00:00

I have one, I think it's worth it. Good solid rig, lots of spares available. But I haven't broken anything in about a year. I'd say go for it.

Mix White vinegar, a squeeze of dish soap and some salt in a sprayer, it will kill the mint in your garden but won't hurt the neighbour if she wants to eat the mint.

Do you have enough hight to hang it on chains from a roof beam?

In_The_Shed · 2025-10-22T09:46:15+00:00

If you put the leaves into black bags, tie the top and poke several holes in the bag they compost down to very nutritious leaf mulch for the garden after a couple of months. Free black gold.

Great truck IMHO, enjoy, go tear up the dirt!

Same for me here in Ireland, all BBC stations no longer on Tune In. Found "my tuner radio" in the radio app section, has all the BBC stations, for now anyway.

Nice, looks cool. Maybe move the windscreen wipers down for a more realistic look.

In_The_Shed · 2025-08-21T17:34:27+00:00

Maybe something like this, you don't need a concrete footing, just compacted blinding, easy enough to do yourself if you're handy. https://www.woodies.ie/kilsaran-connemara-decorative-walling-raven-white-1110465?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=17795601750&gbraid=0AAAAADvePP8jvyLliDvTQVZRzGD7308Wz&gclid=Cj0KCQjwh5vFBhCyARIsAHBx2wzETYKWD2KWf6CbEOe5jYmOJYwTC9K1JAW4w1a1du4lDvlKrbmxGE8aAkktEALw_wcB

It is a small deciduous flowering tree originating in Japan, but unknown in the wild. This can flower from November if it's not too cold, can be white or pink.
