If she ever wants to plant herbs/mint/basil/sage/oregano etc then put any old poor, sandy, well draining soil, in there - they hate nutrient rich, heavy stuff. Same with nasturtium , they will grow like anything but not flower much in rich soil

Many thanks @bsr

Advertisers are devious buggers and want to mislead the average punter half-wit who doesn't read the full description , but who just looks at a few pics at a glance and is old enough to know better:D

BTW when painting over old oil based gloss paint (white) with a new water based 'gloss', what kind of preparation is required? Just sand it and paint ? Or undercoat first? There's quite a few chips out of the wood surfaces If so, what grade sandpaper and what undercoat will work best?

Cheers.

Not painted doors and skirting for many years , and want to find the best low odour paint possible (other half has very sensitive disposition to almost any paint, let alone a 'gloss' or similar) Can anyone give me a recommendation for the best low odour indoor wood paint please? Thanks in...

I got a reply from Ryobi , and they pointed out the 90 was for illustration purposes etc etc and , to be honest, if they hadn't replied with a human being writing the email, I might have wanted to take it further - they even apologised for taking a while to get back to me, and that good enough...

In the inset photos on the left, is the 90degree attachment. The fact that they chosen focus on it like that and give it it's own photo , suggested to me it was in the kit. And no, I didnt read the features.

Yes, good idea. I might try one more email to the regular customer place first though

Yes, that is my thought too. I mailed them and they didn't reply. I'm not sure of the actual definition of this, but it's some kind of mis-selling, and as such needs to be called out. But if they won't answer me , then not sure of the next thing to do?

My man, @MynameisBod , you got me there. I gave up the rap game in the 80's, moved from New York and retired to a quiet corner of the Midlands for a life of DIY:p

Cheers all. Kicking myself a bit as I saw a neighbour selling one last year for £50, but didnt think I'd need one anytime soon and have nowhere to store one either.

I bought this 4v driver set directly from Ryobi the other week when when it was at a good price. https://uk.ryobitools.eu/diy-power-tools/drilling-and-screwdriving/screwdrivers/ergo/ergo/ I bought the offset head, which was extra - but didnt buy the 90degree head as it (to me anyway), shows...

@Pat ex ex I just looked and hire prices are not too bad, so I could possibly make a bit of that back by buying sand/cement rather than pre-mix. Thanks

I'm laying a course 3 bricks high x approx 10f long. Not retaining much at all, just for decoration and hold in a bit of earth/raised garden of maybe 12" width. I don't have a cement mixer and just mixing the 'footings' will probably require 3 of the big garden waste tubs of concrete , which I...

Cheers, I'll get onto a good roofer

Thanks @blup Is there an 'off the shelf' type attachment to use do you know?

I live in a mid-terrace house .The neighbours had a flat roofed loft conversion built a few years ago on the back of the house. They have a gutter and downpipe on the front of the conversion (ie widow side, away from apex) I noticed a while back that the rainfall on their loft roof wasn't...

Many thanks @foxhole

Does anyone use the Ryobi rotary tool and use Dremmel accessories? As shown here https://uk.ryobitools.eu/diy-power-tools/multi-tools/rotary-tools/r18rt/r18rt-0/ Would you happen to know if this fits with it...
