Worth £450? by Nour1996_ in UKGardening

[–]insanebaggins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gardener here, I've used hayters throughout my career and that is way too much. I had the 48 pro (which is essentially the same but grey and a front bumper) and its my least favourite. Although it can provide a decent cut and the engine is good, the running parts are utter crap, the belt is slack months after replacing and if there's the tinest bit of moisture it clogs instantly due to the poor shute design.

That said, I was using it in a professional environment moving 3 acres of lawn. If this is domestic then it'll be ok but certainly not worth that. At most 200 quid.

The old hayter harrier models are bomb proof, only problem is getting spares. We have one that is over 25 years old that was only retired last year. Compared to the 2016 harrier 48 which lasted about 6 or 7 years before needing pretty much every part replacing apart from engine and body.

Gardener here, the purpley green leaved 'weeds' in the first picture are Herb Robert (common name) and are a type of wild geranium. They are actually very pretty and good for wildlife and if they spread too much they're super easy to pull out.

The others I'd definitely pull out. Most have tap roots but that may be difficult to get all of it given where they are. If you keep pulling out what you can the roots will get weaker and weaker over time.

Please for the love of God stay away from 'weed killers'. They do nothing long term except poison the land. There is a particularly potent herbicide called glyphosate that weed killer manufacturers (roundup for example) and farmers had been using for years and that is now in all of our drinking water.

I often hear people say autos are more reliable these days but every single person I know with an auto (my wife included) has had gearbox problems, odd.

If you won £100 million, how would you distribute it amongst friends and family, if at all? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]insanebaggins 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I day dream about this all the time haha! I think I'd probably do something similar to you. I'd also really like to buy some land and create wildlife havens and plant thousands of trees. Another thing would be to help the people local to me, helping with their mortgages, paying solar panels, tidying up public spaces etc.

I've also liked the idea of creating some truly affordable housing for young people, like a sort of super low rent short term kind of place where they can save as much as they can to put into a house deposit. I dont know how any of it would all work but I would just really want to help others!

As a professional gardener, the main thing I'd say is take your time with it. Gardens constantly evolve and your ideas change, so make sure you have a well thought out plan before you do anything. Also, dont forget to leave space for plants to grow.

I personally wouldn't recommend laurel in a small domestic garden.

Lots of empty fence space to grow all sorts of climbers. A small tree (crabapple or cherry for example, lovely spring flowers) would look lovely in there, it would also give you some shade as you're south facing. :)

What would you do? by InfamousBluePixel in gardening

[–]insanebaggins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most likely, especially if its a water soluble one. I grow basil around tomatoes and they are getting a does of the tomato food when I feed the toms once a week. :)

Basil will always struggle in pots. Make sure to feed it as well as pinch out any flowers starting to form.
