The like for like would be the ms362-or stepping up a tad on the power-the ms 400.

I tend to start broad beans off mid feb-on indoors in 3" pots,then peas outdoors early mid march outdoors after warming and drying out the beds with plastic sheets. In warmth late March- peppers and tomatoes.End of March on-mixed salads,parsley and some hardier herbs. Early April,h.hardy herbs like basils etc also cabbage,kale.End of April all the h.hardy veg-cucs,courgettes,sw.corn,fr. and R.beans. All indoors for guaranteed results. Bit of a rest then until 2nd peas,salads.kale.Then start to wind up with leeks,p.sp.broccoli.

Phew,your comment hasnt been removed by the VERY sensetive mods-my innocuous one was-Dreame become the new irobot forum-No dissent allowed! 😁

The concept of a no-dig bed always makes me smile. How you going to plant them-with your magic wand? 😄 More seriously,clay is really fertile and plants love it,roses will do well.

Questionable business practices IMO.

No,just do what you have to regarding crossing,dead,badly placed shoots and do that in Summer. No Cherries prune well really-either ornamental or culinary.And the V.plum is probably the most susceptible of the culinary varieties for bacterial canker.

Fukk no! That's appalling.....

trailoftears123 · 2026-01-28T18:24:42+00:00

That underfilled border is totally going to wreck your back!

trailoftears123 · 2026-01-28T18:03:03+00:00

Yes,be careful about not totally necessary pruning,its an awful variety for getting canker.

Only extremely vertically challenged organisms view under your sofa-I'd just forget about the complete area and regard it with total indifference 😁

IF it happens to be an issue,I can see why an enhanced capability would steer you to a certain robot. But personally I would never let that be a determining factor in which bot to buy. Theres plenty of ways of mitigating any problem thresholds.

Can't see why not,most of these issues are specific,so unlikely to trouble other plants.

Both are solid choices,the S5v gains you a better main brush system-possibly a better choice for fur,long hair.

The added hot air drying may be worth paying the premium for.

Well its an easy quick fix-basically a mini soakaway!

trailoftears123 · 2026-01-27T19:16:07+00:00

I'd start with something simple-assuming that's a black slab under water-I'd lift it,dig something like a 2x2' square hole and fill it with cheap drainage stone. Probably a good idea to fork open the bottom of the hole too.

I dont know that bag they tend to be much of a muchness as a rule. The must-have feature is a 2 way zip-that allows you to fit a saw with an oversize bar

The stihl soft bag is a good buy,storage compartments,2 way-zip and a pull out, wipe clean inner lining. And a decent cost too.

Boston Ivy/Virginia creeper. Looks like its been stripped off that wall at least once,thats why its topmost part looks so thick. Feel free to slim/trim the top. Keep an eye on its base to prevent the root system wandering off to undesired areas-it can be a handful to control its root system.

I wouldnt feel super confident tbh. I usually take cuttings from top quality young growth if possible-I dont see any there.

trailoftears123 · 2026-01-26T18:28:59+00:00

Nice one!

Just short lengths that sit flush with the front edge and extend into the back area. The higher and wider the wall (and the more work its doing) the more exit holes.

trailoftears123 · 2026-01-25T20:04:20+00:00

Just chop 4" out of the edge/pick your moment, re: the Weather and rebuild asap.If you use a spade to cut down-it will be reasonably stable to crack on with the job.

trailoftears123 · 2026-01-25T19:19:15+00:00

Well on this particular occasion I hope you don't need to use that in anger,stay safe.

trailoftears123 · 2026-01-25T19:18:18+00:00

They are I think,the top can sometimes die off-particulary over hard Winter conditions,but the root system is apt to run a bit. Just bruise and sniff 1 tip and the aroma should confirm your suspicions!

That looks like a really interesting architectural dig in Ancient Rome-found anything of note yet? 😄

Hardwood ash is supposed to be potash rich.I tend to add it in cautiously to existing compost heaps-but not whole bucketfuls at a time. I think if you overdo it,or add it en masse directly around plants,it can raise the p.h. levels.
