Apple trees fall into different pollinating groups. 'Discovery' is in group 3. Ideally they need other fruit trees nearby to assist with pollination. If you have an apple tree planted nearby that is from the same or neighboring group, then this will greatly assist. Have a look at this link...

I removed it without any damage. It would be nice to know how old or recent it all is. Not sure theres a way of finding out though.

Im getting my living room replastered and I want to get rid of the wall lights. Currently the wiring for these lights is exposed as per the photo below. I'll be getting an electrician round for other work so Ill ask him to sort this wiring out as well. But what will he need to do? Does the whole...

Im in a conundrum. If I remove it and later find out its an original 1930's feature then id be sad to lose it. But if I keep it when really its just a modern 1990's replica then id wished id removed it. As much as I don't like this fireplace, I'm a big fan of keeping original features.

Thanks for the reply. Ive disliked that fireplace for ages, but now I'm removing it Im beginning to like it more. Maybe I could leave the tiled areas and instead just replace the dark woof surround? Any idea what era that style of fireplace is from? Its a 1930's house but I assumed it was...

Im wanting to remove my fireplace, ready for a new one to be fitted. But when taking the surround away Ive discovered the tiles on the chimney breast are actually fitted to a concrete block on the chimney wall. Should I remove this concrete block, and will it break away easily or bring half...

Watch for the 'use by' date on the can. I used Resiblock Superior Mat on my driveway a couple of years ago and its still looking good. Heres a photo taken on the day of application..

Spray with weed killer using a large hand pump sprayer http://www.screwfix.com/p/pressure-sprayer-7ltr/51100, respray a few days later if needed. When its died back hack it down again with mower, cover with tarp/weed membrane, leave for a couple of weeks, lift tarp and respray any weeds that...

Thanks, Ill get a new one fitted if I can't solve it. Cheers

Thanks denso13. This is what I see when looking underneath the bath. The cable must control the pop up plug. Ive also notoced a hole on the control knob, presumably for a screwdriver. If I remove the knob can I adjust anything at that end?

I don't know its real name but the pop up plug in our bath is faulty. It got stood on when showering and now it won't pop back up when turning the knob. Are there any adjustments I can make to it please?

Make it a feature by using it as a stumpery by turning it upside down and growing ferns amongst it

Thanks :) Ive just noticed that Bosch also do a GWS 22-230 LVI Professional model... http://www.bosch-professional.com/gb/en/gws-22-230-lvi-16882-ocs-p/ Would there be much advantage with this model? Looks like its got auto cut off in the vent of blade jam, and a cushioned anti-vibrate...

Thanks to both of you. Which diamond disc would be best please? http://www.screwfix.com/search.do?fh_search=230mmDiamondBlades&cm_sp=PTA-_-Grinding-_-230mmDiamondBlades

I need to cut some kern adding blocks on my DIY block paved path project, and I'm seeing this as an opportunity to buy myself a new power tool. I know I could hire a Stihl saw, but which size/type of angle grinder would be best suited? I see Screwfix categorise them into two sizes, 115-125mm...

Believe me when I say I'm a big bloke. At 6'3" & 22 stone I can tackle most things, but I couldn't even budge my rootball an inch.

Yes I suppose I could just arrange them with gaps, then fill with mortar. But was wondering how to do it the neatest way possible. Im wanting to create a 900mm diameter external circle, so the gaps will be visible on the front face of the kerb blocks. Im not a professional, just a DIYer and...

Thanks. I have access to a Stihl saw and diamond blade, will it be ok making such slim cuts? Im guessing I will need to clamp the kerb block down to stop it flying away?
