Thanks for the replies. Well i haven't got a green agenda on this issue. I'm just looking to save some cash. Am i right in thinking i will definitely need to reinstate a cylinder to feed the combi? Cus if thats the case im really not going to bother.

The stuff i was referring to would come in a plastic bag weighing about 25kg. I would add enough water to make it resemble melted ice cream then shovel it on to your ramp-site, piling it up at the high end. It needs to be a bit higher than you want it because you need to tap the slab down on...

how marvellously negative of you softus. of course this "average diyer" whatever that means can idntify and locate torx tools for a price.... but has no chance of ever gaining access to a pillar drill. :shock: woof

re: nerine's comment i have no idea of the legalities but i use neat paraffin poured gently into inch wide holes (depending on size of root of course) so far it has managed to rid me of a sycamore and a buddleia globosa but i have always managed to dig unwanted ivy out so i cant comment on that

You would make a better job by laying a paving slab on top of the concrete you use. Incidentally you can buy the concrete ready mixed from somewhere like b and q or wickes so you just have to buy one bag

These multi-head hose attachments often have a setting called "mist" which puts out a very fast flow but hardly any quantity. I have found this to be ideal for cleaning bodged pointing, providing you are not using too wet a mix. You can actually aim dorectly at the stain and erase it quite...

I built a half oval wall against an existing brick wall using two metal pins as the centres. You only need one pin for your centre though. Start by banging it in close to the wall and make sure it is perfectly vertical and slightly higher than the wall you intend to build. (A length of rebar...

I have no idea where this should go: is it plumbing? is it electrical? is it appliances? Anyhoo.... Can anyone start me off on this topic as i am thinking of installing one I am particularly concerned about amalgamating it with the combi boiler i have just had fitted, as most solar...

you'll learn (probably not)

i used the bosch down cutter and it was fantastic if you are that bothered, try the other one on an end bit to find out

I think it's Club who make the ladders

Jacobs make chocolate biscuits with various fillings, not ladders, you *******s!

:) i would.... Find a drill-bit small enough to take that nasty pin out and put it in my pillar drill.

I think you are right to keep up some kind of feeding regime for plants in containers. I was just suggesting a lower level of feed if the sunlight alteration doesnt work. So don't alter the feeding regime which they are happy with until you have tried the extra sunlight. If you do both...

Thanks for the input John! I have just had to (or rather have been told to) condemn a 1960's canon free-standing gas cooker with eye level grill. It was, up until recently, a fine piece of kit and i note that it had the graduated heat of which you spoke. I like that cus you can move your...

I wouldnt recommend either product!

I have noticed that there are many more electric ovens available than gas. Electric ones in the main seem to be cheaper. Can anyone explain to me the benefits (if any) of electric over gas in an oven? Particularly 1) operating cost 2) operating efficiency 3)self-cleaning options...

Sounds like an advert for cuprinol

If giving it slightly more sunlight doesnt work you might try feeding it less. As you said the leaves are all healthy looking, im inclined to think it doesnt need as much nourishment.

Have you moved this tree since its leaves were growing red? It needs full sun for a few hours each day to get its leaves red but it might not like full sun all day. As for watering, it needs to be moist but not soggy and you are broadly correct about the 'wind burn' which is also called...
