My electric mower does just fine too but it takes an hour and some which is why I use an electric mower - I am in my mid seventies, that’s my excuse.

Now that weedkiller sprays have (rightly) had the toxic chemicals taken out the only answer to keeping gravel paths clear are the gas burners.
Mine is very useful for making the melted sugar on top of crème brulees. Very quickly.

These 10cm battery chain saws are excellent if you’ve lots of trees and shrubs. They even go through larger pieces of wood - so great for getting smaller bits of wood when I’m lighting the pizza oven.
All of my ‘gardening’ requirements are carried out by the local Landgirls run by Holly, so I do not have any gardening tools.
Long while ago you posted about the Wolf Garden Tools. I have had mine for near on 8 years and use them every time doing a gardening job…The Hoe to the Fruit Picker even the small fork and spade I use on the detachable handles…I have the two length poles and that seems to cover all manuel jobs…Love the set and could not do without them now…

Don’t like to use these things very often. There was a white poplar tree on our plot which was cut down by contractors as it had split in a high wind and was a danger. The roots had spread underground and saplings kept popping up so had to use something to finish it off.
Our Ryobi two stroke petrol strimmer makes short work of any long grass and tidies up edges. Has been reliable for a number of years - maybe at least eight now. Lesser electric battery ones have died.
I have a Gtech hedge trimmer. Its taller than me though (I didn’t know this before I bought it) and while it does a great job of slicing through unruly hedge twigs, I feel a bit like Terminator when wielding it!
It’s those same European bastards that got creosote banned in small containers, you can only buy it is bulk here now. I have to make my own but it is nothing like as good.
Fortunately Glyphosate360 is still available.
