  • Re: What is the best garden knife

    Forum post by Always Diggin on 04 Nov 2009

    Thanks for the advice I've just had a look at Gardening Which and lo and behold they are reviewing Garden Knives next month which should help me. Thinking about it my choice would have to have a brightly coloured handle so when I put it down I can find it again, really the amout of stuff I lose is frightening, I usually find it a couple of months later a bit worse for ware. Actually a pice of string tied to my jacket may be a better idea. Read more..

  • What is the best garden knife

    Forum post by Always Diggin on 02 Nov 2009

    I'm writing my letter to Father Christmas and am going to ask for a garden knife, I know there are different types but as I am going to be mainly taking cuttings so I am thinking a general purpose one will be most appropriate. But which is the best make? Can anyone give me any pointers? Read more..

    Thanks Tony I've got to say that the trunk does look good even with the peeling layer, sort of giving a sneak preview of what is to come, I'd say it has a pink sheen to it, very nice but not quite how I envisaged it would look. Still I'm happy enough so I'll leave it as it is. Thanks again Read more..

  • Betula utilis jacqemonti

    Forum post by Always Diggin on 04 May 2009

    Hello I have a betula utilis jacqemonti in my garden. At the moment the outer layer of the bark is peeling away leaving the lovely white bark on show. My question is: Can I help things along by peeling off the flaking bark or do I have to wait until it comes away naturally? It looks OK but I really chose this tree for its white trunk. I know I can clean the bark with soapy water but it doesn't seem worth it at the moment. Thanks Read more..
