Being a novice gardener i bough some Tree Lilly bulbs - Pretty Woman - but they came without any advice on planting or caring I have found some information fon planting in pots, such as use Innes 2, 6" apart 3 time size depth and use fertiliser granules or liquid feed immdiately and feed...

I have finally got a hatch in the ceiling and found being a butterfly roof I can have limited storage space about 7 m long by about 1.5 high reducing to zero over 2m. Not large or comfortable but there is space for a lot of boxes of old books, papers. picture frames, tools etc. stacked along...

Thats great Now I feel a bit more confident about what to do. I will also work out a way of keeping the squirrel off as well Thanks

This may seem like simple questions but I am new to gardening I have just got the bulbs but it is still frozen outside so I am waiting till the frost is over to plant them. If I keep them covered should that be a problem ? I would also like to plant some in pots and get the advice on...

I am new to gardening so.... I ordered some Verbascum Helen Johnson which are described as mature plants in 9cm pots. I have also seen 3lt pots for the same price (£7.90) I was given to understand that the 9cm plants would flower this year and should be planted out straight away...

There is nothing to photgraph except a flat ceiling. There is no existing hatch. Thats the problem

I have a butterfly roof and no visible loft hatch. I want to open it up for storage and fit a hatch and ladder from the small landing which is only 140cm x 150cm. It is a 1900s small terrace in London. I would probably get a tradesperson to fit it as I am not too keen on cutting roof joists...

|I am trying to contact her or we will have to climb over back fence to get to it . Hopefully it will save me money and find out where the waste pipes are. I had a similar problem with my stop valve at the front of the house. There wasnt one. We found it two doors down outside someone else's...

I have just phoned Thames Water and they tell me I dont have a manhole in my backgarden and it probably connects through one next door ! Now that could be a problem. They are coming round to have look tomorrow and try find their pipes...So who knows.

The toilet is on the ground floor and just turns at the back of the toilet (no S bend)and the pipe simply goes into the wall and seems to disappear under concrete outside and thats the problem. I am told it connects to the main sewer in the garden somewhere. I think it would be easy to take...

The problem I have is that there is no visible manhole cover at the back of the house The water flows as fast as normal from the pan when flushed and there is no blockage in the internal pipe as I have checked with a plumbers snake so you are right it is a problem outside It did seem to...

I noticed the outside drain was overflowing and cleared a load of muck out of the base and the sinks then flowed OK plus a few dozen litres of water flowed straight down without a problem. I then checked the downstairs toilet and noticed after a flushing it with water the level dropped and...

I am ordering on line so there is no advice. I have found the single lugged bracket on their list so I can order it It is the Metal Store They cut to size and postage is free over £50 so prices are reasonable Thanks

I am making a bed like this one. I know what I need but am stuck on the fittings attaching the wood planks to the steel uprights at the head of the bed. I think they are Single Male Swivels For the job I have 29.9 mm galvinised steel plus elbows, T's and flanges I would appreciate...

Thanks Sparkwright I get it now. I have a bush to go on the other end which will be flush to the ceiling. I can see the rounded switch fitting has the earth terminal on the metal plate. The wiring is old so am I correct in that the red wire is connected to com and the black to L1 ? As there...

I am replacing the open wire and plastic light fitting with a conduit and an old metal light switch or repro switch. The wiring has an earth but one of the switches has only two entry points for wires The other has three so I presume one for an earth. If I use the one with only two entry...

You are right. Bought the gun at B&Q this morning along with the cleaner and have the boards up. Great stuff. Thanks for saving me a lot time and money

They refer to it as a foam gun not an adhesive gun and Dow also advertise their own. I am always suspicious that companies will make a slight alteration to their products to force us to buy the more expensive branded one instead of the cheaper b&q type. I am happy if the B&Q fits as it saves...

Just bought a 750mm cartridge but no gun. Would this from BQ be OK as that is the only store I can get too in the morning At a push I might get to a Screwfix but I need to stick some ply to plasterboard tomorrow. Thanks for any help...

Just a thought would this work fixing plywood to brick ?
