Good to hear. The plastic in tea bags came to prominence some years ago and I know that some manufacturers said they would change. I can see that. We buy our ordinary tea (Assam, Darjeeling, etc) from a supermarket and there is a large section of tea bags, with just half the bottom shelf for...

I know someone through the local reuse group. She has a garden and an allotment, so has lots of greens but not enough browns. I have a large garden with lots of mature trees & bushes, and my compost & leaf mould end up with woody bits. What I sieve out I give to her. So that might be a source...

I'm not sure that is possible. I would start by cutting off as many roots as possible with a pair of loppers. As well as removing some weight that will let the soil dry a bit more, or let water in more if you use a pressure washer. Also it will make it easier to see the structure. Next I would...

IME they are a lot less effective due to their relatively low size. The bacteria that do the initial breaking down like warmer temperatures. The outermost layer of compost acts as insulation and so a larger bin will have more compost that is, say, 6" from the edge and thus well insulated and...

I would basically agree with what @JohnD said. I currently have two wooden bins, each c. 1 cu. yard, and I keep on adding stuff to bin 1 until it is full then I empty it into bin 2. During the course of adding stuff to bin 1 it may well reach the top but a while later will have gone down making...

I have just finished a section of this in my garden, so below are some photos. The boundary was a mess; a couple of panels, some wire (ordinary & barbed) and some chestnut paling. Most of this had fallen down or been pulled down by ivy. What I have now might not be tidy, but it is lot better...

I've talked to a couple of mates (building surveyor & QS) and my understanding is that marking the responsibility for fence lines is relatively recent thing (maybe since the 70s) and is far from universal even now. So someone could think it is common if it is marked on their plan but that is...

Anything to support that? The only reliable rule is that if it is marked on the ground plan then they show who has responsibility. However the majority of plans do not show this.

L'Occitaine do. Mind you that are far from the cheapest! https://uk.loccitane.com/shea-verbena-hands-body-liquid-soap-refill,83,1,29776,1446471.htm

Yes it is, at least according to a documentary based on a book by Mr. Wyndham. ;)

No idea what you looked for, I have posted about this a few times, e.g. https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/moss-remover-for-car-drive.591094/#post-5221148 https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/does-round-up-work-on-moss-on-tarmac.596268/#post-5292897 Basically, anything with benzalkonium chloride...

Oh, there is huge difference! There was a lot of tree planting around here in the 1870s [1] so there is a TPO on hundreds of gardens. I applied for permission to give the copper beech a small trim and cut back some of the laurel that is opposite it. Permission was given for the copper beech...

I'm a DIYer not trade so my experience is obviously limited. We have a lot of mature trees in the garden & area, including field maple which has large leaves. I put mesh over a number of gutters and if anything it made matters worse. They did not stop the gutters from accumulating gunk but they...

If you did you would put the letter in the right order - CDO! ;)

I have never used it on tarpaulin but this https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008AISDX0/ is very sticky and strong.

My educated guess is that there is a three-way split: - Sufficiently modern browsers just see the relevant page. - Old browsers (non-compliant ones) see the relevant page with the warning banner. - Even older browsers cannot load the page. The browser that I used that sees the relevant page...

As I said, my very old browser could not access their website. Hence it did not display that banner.

I am pretty sure they have changed their website to use something that older browsers do not support. A very old browser stopped being able to access their website last week. So I tried a different one and can access it. When using that second browser I see the following warning banner

I have a number of Parkside tools and that is (in essence) what I did. I am a moderate DIYer and I needed a new drill/driver so the Parkside one I bought is fine for me. I bought that (and another tool) together with a charger and two batteries. I used them, saw they were good enough for what I...

To somewhat echo what has been said; I have an angle grinder, a recip saw and a chain saw (two in fact). If I wanted to cut "branches too big for my shredder" the first tool I would reach for is a bow saw. On the bow say is a raker tooth blade like this, whereas they normally come with a peg...
