    Great job I like it how you pulled the nettles out that's always the best way to do it or get a hedge cutter if you use a strimmer you get little bits of nettle Leaf going all over you and stinging you

    Hey Lee. What mulch mower do you recommend? Could do with some advice! 🌸

      It looks like a Honda HRS 536 VK Petrol Mulching Lawn Mower RRP: £785.00 2024-05
      The premium Honda HRS 536 VK lawn mower is a dedicated mulching mower ideal for larger lawns (up to two tennis courts in size). It is one of Honda's lightest and most manoeuvrable lawnmowers and is fast and effective at cutting large areas of longer grass and ideal even if your ground is rough. The new model offers a 21" cut and an incredibly simple mulching capability with the advantage of side-discharge to keep cuttings away from the operator and ensure better grass flow.
      The reliable Honda HRS 536 VK is remarkably easy to manoeuvre around obstacles such as trees or flower beds and can easily cope with grass verges and driveways. This versatile and convenient lawn mower from Honda is worth every penny of its more than reasonable price tag.
      The Honda HRS 536 VK lawn mower is ideal if you just want to give your lawn a quick cut. Thanks to its compact design and its lightweight but durable steel deck it is easy to operate and will allow you to work quickly with very little effort from you. It is easy to start, thanks to the automatic decompressor and the automatic choke ensures you won’t have any problems even in damp or cold weather.
      The Honda HRS 536 VK has a cutting width of 21” and combined with six cutting heights (ranging from 24-87mm) you will have the flexibility to easily deal with a wide range of cuts and conditions. You won’t need to stop mowing for anything, in fact, you can just keep going until you run out of grass to mow.
      Featuring a very simple yet efficient mulching capability, the Honda HRS 536 VK also has the advantage of a side-discharge option to keep cuttings away from the operator and ensure better grass flow. If you choose to mulch, the highly efficient Versamow Selective Mulching System is easy to use. By simply adjusting the chute you can choose to either blow the grass cuttings down into the lawn to create a natural fertiliser or eject them using the side discharge functionality. The grass clippings will be recycled back onto your lawn where they will act as a nutrient-rich fertilizer which saves you from purchasing additional products to keep your lawn looking good. Now you can fertilize your lawn as you mow - saving you not just money but time and effort as well.
      The ultra-reliable and efficient Honda GCV160 OHC engine ensures a low running noise of just 98dB(A) and a smooth performance with an automatic decompressor to ensure an easy start.
      The HRS 536 VK enjoys a five year domestic warranty.

    Try stewing your rhubarb in diet Sprite or sugar free 7 Up. That's how the wife does it. She tells me it's not as good as putting sugar in it but better for the waist line and quite palatable.

  • @silkedavid8876
    @silkedavid8876 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Cook your rhubarb with a banana cut in pieces to take off the sharpness that affects your teeth, a spoon full of sugar, plus some strawberries for that extra sweet taste. Eat with cream, custard or ice cream. Only takes a few minutes, is delicious and good for your guts.Last year a lot of people were so pleased with the hot summer, but I always said, think of all the gardeners who make most of their money of lawn care in the summer to get them through winter!
