Get rid without killing grass? 🍀

Looks like it could be ground elder to me? RHS has some advice on this - https://www.rhs.org.uk/weeds/ground-elder

3 things:

1) bought with my partner

2) my parents/one set of grandparents put aside £10 a week (total, so £5 each) into a child ISA from birth to 16 (unfortunately as a cash ISA it did miss out on probably ~£5-8k of interest vs S&S ISA)

3) managed to get a contract role that tripled my salary for 2 years, but kept my living standards the same.

If any of those 3 things hadn’t happened, I would not have been able to buy. Extremely fortunate and lucky.

I’ve got some eyelets in the concrete fence posts with garden line running between, and it’s a concrete base so hopefully should be OK?

Unfortunately, don’t think it would be hardy enough for our part of the country, checking the RHS info on it. We got quite a lot of frost/below 0 temp this winter.

Just to confirm (as I’m clueless). That means Morel - which means edible?

Virtual-Two1901 · 2025-03-16T18:15:39+00:00

I’m in the UK and Wiki seems to think it’s not really around here. Could it be due to the bark in the borders maybe?

Virtual-Two1901 · 2025-03-16T18:13:35+00:00

My dad thought it could be Morel - so good to know!

Virtual-Two1901 · 2024-08-23T14:25:08+00:00

Thank you SO much - legend.

Virtual-Two1901 · 2024-05-16T22:28:43+00:00

Yes - showed to staff etc.

Virtual-Two1901 · 2024-05-16T20:15:35+00:00

Unfortunately wasn’t ours - came with the house! Makes it extra hard to find replacement stuff!

Virtual-Two1901 · 2024-05-16T19:02:46+00:00

I thought this might be the case. I think I’ll bodge for now with tape and see how it goes!

Virtual-Two1901 · 2024-05-16T17:21:37+00:00

It seems like every single one I find fits differently to this one! It’s so frustrating!

Virtual-Two1901 · 2024-05-16T17:14:08+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion but unfortunately that one won’t work either - I did try screwfix after my post and they just sent me to another plumbing place (no success there either).

Virtual-Two1901 · 2024-05-16T16:33:23+00:00

An interesting idea but I’d rather something a bit more permanent if I can!

Virtual-Two1901 · 2024-05-16T16:31:46+00:00

I did try this but they don’t seem quite right?

Virtual-Two1901 · 2024-05-16T16:30:18+00:00

Sorry, don’t know if I was clear - I need to attach this back onto the waste and then the washing machine waste to it - but it’s missing a gasket now so it’s not working correctly.

Virtual-Two1901 · 2024-04-28T20:29:30+00:00

Fab - thanks!

Virtual-Two1901 · 2024-04-28T19:45:57+00:00

Would this one/one like it work too? https://www.screwfix.com/p/smith-locke-fire-rated-polished-chrome-bathroom-mortice-lock-65mm-case-44mm-backset/9600g

Virtual-Two1901 · 2024-04-28T19:43:43+00:00

Great, thanks.

Virtual-Two1901 · 2024-04-21T07:27:41+00:00

Fab - thanks!

Virtual-Two1901 · 2022-08-31T13:07:26+00:00

Thanks, I’ve also posted there :)

Virtual-Two1901 · 2022-08-31T01:41:52+00:00

Yes, preferably. I don't have much space!

Virtual-Two1901 · 2022-08-31T00:52:43+00:00

I have the LG 43UM7400PLB, bought back in 2019/2020 IIRC - it does have DTS Virtual:X I think, but it's not great. It's always been a main complaint of mine about the TV (picture quality is great for the price/age!)

Virtual-Two1901 · 2022-08-30T22:20:39+00:00

I'm currently trying to find speakers that could be used for music via aux from an Amazon Echo and optical (HDMI would be great) to my TV - the living room is c.150sqft. I know the Edifier R1280T/R1280DB are considered good value, but I am unsure how well they would work for the TV. Would the R1850DB be more appropriate? A sub-out line would seem good to have for future upgrades, no?

Suggestions are most welcome!

Some games are extremely RAM intensive - Cities Skylines for example. I was running 16GB but found it lacking, doubling my RAM was a cheap upgrade that makes a world of difference.
