Are there no bulk compost makers in your area that recycle organic material and will load your trailer or even deliver. We have several around us and believe some councils may do it as well.. They also give a chemical analysis of the nutrients.

Its Bugleweed , a feed and weed should sort it but we just keep mowing over it or leave at edges as bumble bees love it

Have they fixed cement board to wooden battens within the fire recess or close proximity to where the stove will be

Not sure if solder on in brush wires could melt when motor under a good load, Ive repaired with silver solder which has a much higher melting point just in case
