No idea is that exists, but you can: - Fit one of the connectors that Andy listed to the water butt - Attach a short piece of hose to that - Fit another connector to the other end of the hose - Pop a male to male connector in the loose end Here...

Once clear of the patio (and anywhere else you want to keep dry), connect the hose pipe to some soaker hose to spread the water out and stop anywhere from getting too wet.

Well eight years is a long time for a rechargeable battery to last. You seem to be complaining about that, IMO that is pretty close to expecting them to last for ever. Only partly? So was probably defective.

And has been explained to you, that was to be expected as they were old. The drill battery was eight years old. Nothing to do with the device, just the simple fact that batteries have a finite life. The first response to you included

Could you hammer in a nail, loop the conducting wire around that (next to the plastic joist) then bend the nail up wards to hold the wire in place. Then move on to the next place, hammer in a nail ... Obviously slower than using staples but if you only have to do it once that is less of a problem.

I have a large garden on the side of a valley. Where I have cleared scrub & weeds off of banks, I have put a post across the bank to help prevent the surface slipping down. The posts I have used are decent sized tree branches / trunks (e.g. 4-6" diameter) and they are held in place by stakes...

Well, he probably would except, as he said

The (sort of) cog wheel I referred to looks like That is the same principle a John described. It may be what he mentions as one with straight cutting flutes.

I have just noticed something, the Bosch AXT2200 is not what is referred to as a quiet shredder. The quiet ones have a (sort of) cog wheel or drum rotating relatively slowly around a horizontal axis. They cut the material against a vertical plate. The other ones (normally called impact...

The legislation is the same everywhere but there is a level of local interpretation, legislation often uses words like 'reasonable'. I live where there is a very large TPO area because of lots of trees planted in the late 19th century. A TPO only applies to trees in existence when it granted...

I have heard two reasons. 1. Many (most?) plastics set pretty hard (as in brittle) when they are formed. Think of Bakelite if you remember that. Hence the mix has other materials added to keep the material somewhat flexible in use. These materials (referred to as plasticisers) smell nice to...

@Why Not Indeed asked if there was a market for this and it was that question I answered. I have used all three types of shredder; rotary blade (or impact), worm screw*, and crushing (cod or drum). Other people have told you about them, I'm not sure what else you want. * AFAIUI only Bosch...

It depends on what you mean by market. People paying for it, probably not, but people willing to take it away then yes. On my local reuse group (TrashNothing, Freegle) there are reasonably often people asking for / offering firewood. Over a number of years, I have done a lot of clearing in my...

@lostinthelight Yes it is available, see https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09CNXV1S5 at £29.11. While looking for it I came across something similar, https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B096FL5SQT at £19.95.

The (large, Victorian) house next to me was renovated and the seven flats sold. We know the couple that own the flat that semi-abuts our house quite well. There was originally a management company appointed by someone (the company that bought the freehold I think) and the leaseholders were not...

I looked at the Titan machine a while back. Mostly I want to blow leaves together and then pick them up, but I need a suction feature to tidy up awkward areas. And some of the time that means wet leaves. On the second page of questions it says: Q. How does it perform sucking up wet leafs...

You could turn them into leaf mould.

As well as that, it might make them liable if there is an accident, as they will have hired a potentially v. dangerous piece of kit to someone without any training. So I am surprised that firms hire these out without seeing their training certificate (or whatever).

He says it is but says he is only doing some branches. If someone else is doing the rest I can't see why he would not get them to do the lot. +1 to that.

Sorry but I don't see what that has to do with my question. Whether you remove 5% or 95% of the branches you will still be left with the trunk. What are you going to do about that? Sounds daft to me. If you cut a higher branch it may well bounce off of a lower branch and land somewhere...
