  1. Heh. So, we have some pretty dangerous garden implements (garden forks, grass whips with serrated edges, sledge hammers, etc.), but one of my favorite implements is what I call a "Spikey Garden Digger" (it's actually marketed as a "Lawn Aerator"). I bought it a couple of years ago, and have abused it terribly, since I don't just use it to aerate my soil, I actually twist it by the handle to loosen up roots before I try and dig them up! And yeah, despite the unintended use, it has held up quite well! The "nails" are definitely welded in there!

  6. Our Sunday allotment trip was a mixed affair today.

    It was very pleasant in the sun and we got a lot done.

    But my strimmer motor burnt out - I was wondering what the smell was!

    I'm increasingly unimpressed with Einhell tools. This is the second strimmer of theirs that's died. The other one seems to be a relay that's not working, but how to get into the gubbins?

    I've hurt the card and ordered a DeWalt replacement. Hopefully paying for a quality tool will save money in the long term (ha!)
    The charger and batteries were a significant extra cost.
    But the strimmer does get a lot of hard use there.

    It's only money....
