Don’t get me wrong, I really love to see squirrels in my garden and we have 3 regular visitors. However, my wife is really into feeding the birds and the squirrels were really becoming a problem as were the larger birds like the pigeons and jackdaws which I talked about in my review of my tested pigeon proof bird feeders. The problem with the 3 Whisker Bandits, that what we call the 3 bushy tailed…
I’ve been using chainsaws for almost 20 years so when it comes to chainsaws, I like to think I know and thing or two about them. If you’re considering buying your first chainsaw or maybe just upgrading/replacing another one. Hopefully, my experience and knowledge with cordless chainsaws, petrol chainsaws and even a couple of corded electric chainsaws will be useful and save you from making some of the mistakes I’ve made over the years. Let’s…
Over the years, I’ve owned a number of pressure washers from smaller portable pressure washers (not great for the patio but perfect for bikes and garden furniture), petrol washers when I used to do a lot of landscaping and garden maintenance and around the family nursery and probably my preferred type, electric pressure washers. I’d say 90% of my pressure washer experience was with cleaning patios and driveways and the rest probably cleaning by car.…
It’s been over 3 years since I purchased the Karcher K5 Full Control Pressure, so I thought it was time for another update to this guide as I’ve just finished reviewing it in my patio pressure washer review guide, where I talked about how impressed I was with the T5 surface cleaner mine came with. The good news is that it’s still going strong, but as with everything, you start to notice little things that…
I’ve been buying Karcher pressure washers for over 15 years and recently reviewed my Karcher K5 Premium Smart Control pressure washer. But how does it compare to the other model in the K series of pressure washers? Thats what this review will answer! I think I got the bug from my dad as he was always a big Karcher fan, he also owned the grey professional range of pressure washers, but unless you use them…
As a professional gardener and nurseryman with over 20 years of experience, I understand how important it is to maintain a lawn properly. This includes scarifying the lawn to remove moss and thatch, aerating the lawn to improve drainage, to choosing the best grass seed for your specific needs. Once I’ve successfully scarified and aerated the lawn, it is time to apply grass seed/overseed or lawn feed (sometimes with a moss killer), and this is…
I have been a professional gardener for over 20 years and, in that time, have seen the quality and affordability of lawnmowers really up their game. Many models are now much more affordable whilst still having premium features, and the build quality of many brands is now much better, with brands like Hyundai (pictured below), Bosch and Worx really upping their game. However, where lawn mowers have really advanced is with cordless lawn mowers with…
Coming from a big family, BBQs were commonplace for me while growing up, so I brought this tradition to my own family. The thing is, my family are all big meat eaters, and the best way to cook mouth-watering succulent meat has to be on a BBQ. If it weren’t for the weather, I’d be out cooking on the BBQ every evening. Being that I live in Manchester, unfortunately, famous for its rainy weather. We…
I’ve been in the gardening game for almost 20 years now. After I left horticultural college after two years, it was off to work at my family’s nursery/garden centre before setting up my own gardening service business. Up until a couple of years ago, I still had a full-time gardening maintenance business, but now that I write reviews like this one which takes a huge amount of time, I did keep a few larger jobs…
Being from a big family, we’ve always had a selection of sun loungers and enjoy spending weekends together over summer at my mum and dads. There can be as many as 14 of us in total includinng the grandkids, for a Sunday dinner or, my personal favourite, a good old BBQ, I recently did a review of the Char-broil gas BBQ here. Anyway back to sun lounger! Luckily my parents have a very large garden,…
