Another view showing height of spuds.

Hi All See attached image of spuds. I tried to “hill” for a second time a few weeks ago. Quite a few flowers there, but know that’s not a reliable indicator of time to harvest. Also managed to break (not entirely) a few stalks while hilling. The leaves and stalks are still pretty green, so...

Thanks, I wasn’t sure there was an email for this sort of thing. It does me you laugh though. A perfect storm of new meter and reading coinciding, and the glitch will never be sorted.

Update You couldn’t make this up. I previously rang BG to explain I’d entered 37293, instead of 37. (New meter, not sure how to read it etc) Lady I spoke to checked and said everything looked good at her end. Fast forward to today, when had request for another meter reading. App confirmed...

Sorry. Misunderstood the wording. Know what you mean. Thanks

Thanks. Thanks. Can you differentiate between cutting and stripping.

Noted. Do I have to wait for them all to come back before digging out the soil and roots?

Thanks for all the v helpful replies. Forgot to mention I drenched the joints with Weedol. Only thing is I think it may be the glyphosate free variety.

Thanks. Looks like that product is out of stock at B&Q. Thanks. I did initially but will have another ponder. Re screwdriver - been there, done that. Dodgy back now, so need to avoid being down on hands and knees. I managed to get rid of prominent ones with my useless strimmer. It’s mainly...

Hi Our patio needs weed removal and some more mortar for the joints. The first step is removal of soil and weed from gaps. I initially bought one of those weed slicers, but I can now see they’re for weeds in a bed. (Angled head) Any ideas? Ideally needs to go down a few inches. Thanks

Morning This is my first stab at growing spuds. (Late ones) I know the conventional wisdom is When the plants are 8-12 inches tall they should be hilled to keep tubers covered and prevent greening. Mound the soil to a height of 3 to 6 inches and approximately 12 to 15 inches from the base of...

Can see what you've done now. Best regards

Meant can you explain that step of your process. Thanks

Many thanks for the acknowledgement that this is a mother and father/auntie and uncle to fit. Re your process re “swapping the two white plastic pieces and nuts around”. Length of cable- at the moment I just have the three WAGO boxes in ceiling (not the one with the three live connections)...

Hi 1. Couldn’t see any room for cable to drop down and be fed to the block at the end of the fitting. No room at side/top/underneath mounting plate, when fitting is secured to it. 2. Nothing in the block, just a plastic label with L/N/E in the channel of the lamp.

Thanks. I knew about the need for WAGO enclosure. Not sure if enough room. If I’m going to be running a T&E to connect the three WAGO blocks to the connector block, does that negate the need for a junction box? No room for bigger connector block in this scenario.

Thanks First response-I can easily connect wires from 1.5mm T&E at the WAGO end, but how would I navigate cable through the small hole in the mounting plate. Sorry for being obtuse. Second response-noted. Third response-they do indeed. Thanks. Fourth response-just enough wriggle room...

Hi Hope everyone keeping well. Bought this lamp for our kitchen but bit perplexed by design and instructions. (I know that’s entirely down to me) https://www.argos.co.uk/product/3366260 Context is using WAGO boxes due to lack of cable in ceiling. 1. The connector block for the three lamps...

Thanks

Hi All Dealing with aftermath of bathroom leak above our kitchen. Leak sorted so waiting for everything to dry out etc. Water tracked through light fitting. Aside from that we got away with just a cracks in ceiling and some staining, no bowing or collapse of plasterboard. Just bought basic...
