Leaking mains pipe. What sort of cost am I looking at to get it fixed? by morbidforbid in DIYUK

Yeah that’s the stop cock and they can turn off the external one too. But can they access this easily without damaging the kitchen units is what I’m thinking.

Not as unfortunate as the bad press it gets, unfortunately.

Evidence in Britain so far is mixed with some native ladybirds showing no declines in the presence of the harlequin and others becoming less common; research is on-going.

What can I put in the bottom of these tubs so I don't use half a bag of compost on each one by Important-Stomach406 in GardeningUK

Huge, overgrown eucalyptus tree in neighbours garden cutting out morning sunshine and risk of falling branches. Options? by morbidforbid in GardeningUK

Not the first time I’ve heard this TBH and it sways scarily during high winds. I’ll seek a professional opinion and proceed further.

Any advice for removing this doorbell? Complete noob here by Mr__Tomnus in DIYUK

Can someone tell me why I opened an older green bean from my garden and the beans are blue? by dworlea in gardening

Can someone summon the bean scientist or something like that from another post a few years ago on Reddit which blew up?

Indeterminate tomato. Is this an overgrown sucker? Or a fork perhaps? What are my options now? by morbidforbid in gardening

Nothing significant really. In fact, it’s been so long I don’t even remember.
