Speaking of bad things, anyone any idea how to get rid of Japanese knotweed? Other than move to another area of the country.

I'm seeing more and more of it in my travels. There's an invasive species app available for the smartphones that gives ya info about it and allows you to report and log its locations.

Here's more info on it: http://invasivespeciesireland.com/toolkit/invasive-plant-management/terrestrial-plants/japanese-knotweed/

If you ever see me with a car like that black yoke in the video, you can hit me on the head with a shovel as well.

There's a link on the Fisheries Ireland link that I posted. Scroll down to the bottom and there's two links, for a smartphone and for an iPhone.

On the App you can log it and see where it's spread to already.

It's sore alright. I once was putting a post in an existing fence drove the bar down about a foot and didn't look where my hand had finished. I went to widen the hole and made ribbons of the back of my hand.

Not the engine it was the blades and table underneath. It kept clogging no good for heavy thick grass

I suppose they work with certain lawns but even with mulcher on I still had no joy. Was told I'd have to mow the lawn a min of every 3 days before it got too strong for it. It's a beast on fuel too
