Just followed your advice re mulch from cut grass. Obviously not optimum height or coverage. How would you treat remainder of bed? I notice the hoe not removing all root systems. Do I have to do a second sweep? Thank you again.

Many thanks once more,

Many thanks. Have tried compost and horse manure without much success. No compost heap unfortunately. Have just cut front and back lawns, but doubt whether enough for a 4-6” covering?

Yep

V good advice. Like the “look” so could use a gardener. (Two members of family use one, and their gardens always look great) Thanks

Great idea.

Forgot to say garden is north facing, so fair bit of shade as day wears on.

Really appreciate the helpful and clear advice. I’ll admit I never inherited my old man’s green fingers, but my head just explodes with talk of hardy annuals, perennials..

Thanks all. Nothing growing there now, but had various bedding plants there until last year. I (think) I gave up as they were supposed to be hardy annuals but not the case.

Hi I do try, honest. I guess I now have to remove them? (again) Thanks

Hi I’ve physically dug out weeds in this flower bed many times. Have also drenched with weed killer, Weedol etc. They always come back with a vengeance. Any suggestions/steps would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi “again again” Spoke too soon. We have a leak on the right valve. (Discharge) Picture attached. It’s emanating from the lower union, which I only secured while loosening/tightening the tail nuts. Have turned water off and run taps, but water obviously seeping from rad. What’s odd is a)...

Cannibalised the old fittings so all good now. Thanks

The old brackets and caps were knackered so chucked them.

Hi again Sorry to revive this saga. Fitted new tails to new rad and set about fitting and connecting latter. First problem was bracket holes in wrong position on wall. Half expected that- old towel rad about 25 year’s old. Drilled two new holes, connected brackets but then ran into another...

Thank you (for both suggestions). I’ve since got some movement, but only by bashing the other part of the L with a mini sledgehammer. However, worried this will knackered the thread. Also curious about behaviour of key in drill, as alluded to in my previous post. Moving on, the new TRV valves...

Hi again Bought the above product from Screwfix. I’ve tried loosening the old ones, as needed the key anyway to tighten new tails purchased. I’ve inserted the 13mm into slot, and it fits snugly. However, I can’t budge the inserts. If I put key into drill, it just spins around? (Am going anti...

Thanks. I’ll probably buy new tails anyway.

Hi again Typical-biggest Allen key too small. Seems to be about 16mm width. (Just short of 3/4”) Is that what I need? Regards

Many thanks.
