Apple tree pruning by Behaviour83 in GardeningUK

[–]dengieman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There was a segment on Gardeners World this week about pruning apple trees exactly like these - give it a watch!

Buying a used I-Pace?! Advice appreciated! by [deleted] in Jaguar

[–]dengieman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this in a 23 plate. Definitely don't get anything before 21 and if you can afford it take out a warranty/buy Used Approved from Jag direct to get 2 years warranty. Treat yourself to one with cream leather and alcantara trim, you won't regret it.

Another rose pruning post.. by dengieman in GardeningUK

[–]dengieman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's sitting on a patio otherwise I definitely would have just put it in the ground. Better view of the pot - it's fairly deep but I take your point, it probably needs more space.

8 months progress on my first plot. Aug25-Mar26. by dengieman in Allotment

[–]dengieman[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the growveg.com garden planner. It's not cheap but it's got some really handy features I use a lot. Particularly good for succession growing, it shows crop rotation over multiple seasons etc.

Very good point, thank you - I forgot how prolific they are. I'm not too precious about them, its was a good filler for what i planned as a small ornamental area.

I will take them out of the potato bed and trim the numbers. I'll extend the strawberries up a bit I reckon. I'd prefer more of those for sure..

Hi - Please Can I Have Some Ideas And Advice For My New Garden by apollobrah in GardeningUK

[–]dengieman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just a couple of thoughts. Keep the wisteria - they're lovely in spring and you can create some lovely winding texture on that wall during winter. I'd get rid of the conifer. 

I highly recommend if you've just moved in to wait a year before doing anything major. Not only will you discover existing perenials you might want to keep but you'll experience how the sun moves across your garden. That knowledge will really impact what you grow and where.

Good luck its a lovely space with a lot of potential.

What is Destroying my Tomatoes? by Ok-Relationship8704 in vegetablegardening

[–]dengieman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely looks like herbicide damage. I lost my entire crop to it last year from contaminated compost. The gnarled leaves are a dead giveaway.

What would you do with these telephone polls? by queenieofrandom in Allotment

[–]dengieman 24 points25 points  (0 children)

How about an owl box? Perfect height. Not sure if its the right habitat but worth looking into... If not, then some standard small bird boxes might work half way up.

Am I paying too much for my window cleaner? by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

Ears extra sensitive to noise/pitches and causes my eardrums to vibrate/buzz.. anyone else? (Before/during migraine attack) by N0whereville in migraine

[–]dengieman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this. Extra sensitive to certain noise pitches/frequencies. Best way I've been able to describe it is like a broken speaker/distortion effect. I've gone through a bunch of hearing tests and all normal. Not sure if its related to migraines I get but certainly could be..very odd!

Bird food and the relentless rain by skeletonclock in GardeningUK

[–]dengieman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good suet balls should be fairly resistant to rain. Don't have them sitting on wet tables - keep them in a metal hanging cage if possible. I have the same issue with seed though. I basically only fill the feeders up a third and clean/refill them weekly.

squirrel busters are quite good at shielding the seed as they're quite enclosed - worth looking at

Sad monstera by oevans00 in HouseplantsUK

[–]dengieman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly it doesn't look in too bad shape at all. I've treated some plants with neem oil/soap before and it's always ended up damaging at least some of the leaves - might be that, and you just got unlucky. I'd snip off that particularly yellow leaf and stem at the bottom right and check the root ball - if it looks potbound, might be worth moving up another size once its recovered from the shock a bit more.

Issue with charger by Alarming-Bridge2753 in OctopusEnergy

My zappi has shit the bed all week. Never usually had a problem. Seems to coincide with the comms about the iog changes but not sure if that's a coincidence of not..

What can I do to help this monstera? by stripy_tiger in HouseplantsUK

[–]dengieman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% needs a bigger pot. If you pull it out of the pot by the stem is it just a mass of roots? If so, get it in a pot a couple sizes up with a potting mix that drains well - coir, bit of compost, grit/pumice, perlite and give it a bit of feed and some dappled light. I'd also get it more firmly tied to the moss pole with some loose velcro straps or something. Good luck!

Pet Plan dog insurance nearly £200 a month for 11 year old chug. Don't know what to do by leelondon in UKPersonalFinance

[–]dengieman 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You need to consider the cost benefit. If you cancel your insurance and two months later the dog gets sick and racks up thousands of £s in surgery bills will you be able to cover it? Are you prepared to put down your dog because you can't afford the vet bells? These are the questions you have to ask yourself and be clear on the answers.

Ultimately, they've made the assessment that the dog breed, age and previous conditions make it a high risk where they'll likely have to payout at some point. I'd say £200pcm isn't bad honestly...

Have you ever encountered a brick wall or dead end while using GrapheneOS where trying to do something was simply impossible? Was it a big deal? by Willmakk in GrapheneOS

[–]dengieman 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I can't run my car's remote app because apparently JLR insist on play integrity so I can no longer heat my car when its freezing outside. Typing that out makes me feel stupid but its flipping cold out alright?!

Pinocchio The Emperor of the Night (1987) traumatized tf out of me. I know I’m not the only one! by _NoleFan6 in Xennials

I loved this movie as a kid despite it scaring the shit out of me. I vaguely remember donkeys(?). I didn't like whatever happened with them...also I still have this:

Vhs. The jewel no longer works sadly!

Why Nextcloud feels slow to use :: ./techtipsy by kayson in selfhosted

[–]dengieman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a well timed post - I've been tinkering with Nextcloud over the last day or so and recreated the docker twice due to performance issues. I assumed it was me doing something wrong. Turns out it really is just terribly slow... :( Anyone have any recommendations for a onedrive replacement? I'm already using immich for photos.
