in the bowl?.. it maybe the weather, and i know this sounds strange, but our loo water level changes with changing air pressure, making it an interesting barometer.

yes lol... you pull one up and its travelled yards under the grass and one little bit left is a new plant, its like you've just pruned it to add vigour.

maybe its because they have no (or virtually no) mass to retain heat, so maybe insulating them wouldn't make any difference. ..just an idea. not much one can do about that.

when i was sorting out a bramble infested garden, a friend told me of his solution. Keep pulling up every bramble you see emerging... then fifteen years latter you move and its someone else's problem... i agree with above, use weed killer lol

Id try Epoxy putty (Milliput avalible from all good model shops) wont be invisible though (white Milliput might be less noticable)

in my experience rabbits will attack anything, even fairly big trees, i think they think "its appeard over night so it must be good to eat".. even Holly! Only other way is to kill the little beggers..... unless you raise the veg on tables or something they will eat it or attempt to.

try "Brush restorer"... try it on a small patch first tho!...

thanks for the answers, its the sort of question that would have nagged me for years, before the net sorted such things out!...cheers.

Haveing done it myself...if you can aford it pay someone to do it!, they will make it look easy, which is very deceptive indeed.

thanks for the answers... it is posible the pipes been frozen, its still not capped.. and the old back boiler pipes are still dripping (depite tieing up the ballcock, cos the valve leeks every so sligtly)

There i was up in the loft attempting to cap off a water pipe with a fitting that appeared to be slightly to small when it occurred to me that maybe my pipes are so old they are pre metric. Now i know the metric is just imperial in millimeters, but thats not an exact equivalent. Maybe my pipes...

I found those screw in plasterboard fixings (the metal ones seem best) when trying to hang things on a wall plasterd with mud and horse hair!

silly aside... Blaster Bates cured a septic tank problem with dynamite with funny consequences....

take the new ones off and glue a slip of wood over the hole ... so that the new handle is on sort of a plinth (thin bits of wood are avalible in model shops, chamfer the edges with sand paper).... well i would anyway, cos filling hollow doors never realy works, it falls out or shows in some way.

Epoxy putty is also avalible from Model shops..Milliput, it dont mind damp etc and comes in white (fine) and grey(course) googleing Miliput will bring up it manyfold uses.

followed a white van today, unmistakably beching out chip fat smell... is taht Biodiesel? or as it smelled fat straight out of Mac D's weekly dump?

I was in attendance at a farm when red diesel was delivered, the tanker guy told me he was delivering Heating oil to next delivery and he didn't want red in the pipes so he flushed the lines straight into the red tank, with heating oil... when i asked about this his comment was...same stuff no...

couple of cheep things ive found useful. Im sitting ar the foot of the stairs now and we have coverd them with a heavy curtain, cos i used to be able to feel the cold air tumbling down on me!....The front doors also i replaced (with a ten quid one from a double glazeing place that had just...

Down here in Cornwall houses often have exposed stone walls inside. Usualy done by someone who thinks it looks nice and dont have to live there. I think it looks dark and cave like... What we have found is the mass of the rock in a wall takes ages to heat up but remains as a store of heat for a...

to really do it properly i think it might be a good idea to do both!... tool hire shop for a mini digger... and trench it and maybe put gravel drains in then raise top of lawn to level it out to non flooding level.... (bear in mind the idea is to stop the water pooling so trench it where the...
