Hi, I've been told that by taking the VHI One Plus Plan which currently has a free kids offer, I can no longer avail of a group discount. They said a group discount is currently not available for the One Plus Plan or won't be available in the future. Anyone else experience this?? How many...

I guess 0 10 20 would be similiar enough to 0 7 30 - BUT I don't think either is going to help your patch of ground this time of the year - as both contain NO Nitrogen - the first 0 represents Nitrogen - might be better to try 7 6 17 or even 10 10 20 - something with Nitrogen anyway. 0 10 20 and...

In future you could try use a weed killer - something like MCPA - can be got at agricultural stores and then a normal agricultural fertiliser - definitely cheaper and probably have better results

thanks Dirac

Hi, Woodies have the Ryobi RBC-430SES Brushcutter Petrol - 4 Stroke for €130 currently - down from €200 - have seen it priced around €250 in other places so the woodies price seems like good value. Anyone have experience of this model or other Ryobi Strimmers/Brushcutters?? As I understand it...

Hi AleoN I'll be using MCPA 500 Amine - can be got at any co-op store etc - used to control rushes and other weeds on agricultural land by farmers. Obviously better drainage would help but my lawn is .5 acre and couldn't afford to have it all covered in best top soil etc - so will make do with...

Yes to an extent - I leave in Kerry and would say 80% of lawns have rushing - especially after the recent bad summers. Of course it would be good to put in better drainage and potentially better topsoil - but for the moment I believe they can be controlled by spraying - just wondering how much...

I plan to spray the rushes in my lawn in the next few weeks - mid april. My plan is to cut the lawn fairly high - allow 7-10 days growth - then spray and leave for 4 weeks before cutting. Should I leave more time for growth before spraying?? I'm hoping not because with the 4 weeks afterwards...

Hi, I have 100 metres approx of fencing and Ronseal FenceLife - 5 year - Medium Oak works very well - My problem is with the 2 timber gates - more exposed to wind and rain and fencelife doesn't do as well - anybody know of a non water based solution that would last longer or something that...

Hi Optimistic, I live in Kerry - Roof pitch is only 25 degress thanks to Kerry County Council! This doesn't help in the winter but maybe it does in the summer? Panels installed by Solaris Energy (Macroom Co. Cork). I would say they source good panels as they have been at it for years - after...

Hi, I installed 6 SQ Metres Flat panels in my new build 3 years ago - Initial Cost was €6000 (including installation) - Got a grant of €1800 approx. 300 litre Tank was supplied - so that was another saving - So real cost was €3600 approx - At that money they are worth it. The grant is gone now...

I agree completely - If the standard vent is exposed to wind etc - they are a joke. I must say that the Fresh Air Trickle Vent (that cost me €18) does close air tight and can be fitted in 5 mins - so for me I get the best of both worlds.

Hi Mad M, Yes I see it's 51.95 USD. I got charged $29.95 CAD - I'm not sure if there is a different way into the site where a different currency might be shown. It's worth emailing them and ask what's the best price they can do it for. AlbacoraA. I'm sure you could block the vent fully -...

Hi BarneyMc, Yes the fit perfectly in a 4 inch diameter hole. I did the same myself before - filled it up with expanding foam - But you need ventilation and I regretted closed the vent. I think these vents are a happy medium - they will allow ventilation when you want it and allow you to...

Hi BarneyMc, I replaced a regular slide vent which leave in alot of cold air especially if vent is exposed to wind etc - also they leave in alot of noise. So there was a 4 inch hole (sewage pipe) already in the wall and the trickle vent fits perfectly and when fitted it completely closes the...

Just to show the power of opening windows. This morning after getting up and showers etc our bedroom had a humidity level of 69%. I have tilt and turn windows and opened the bedroom window fully for 2 mins - Bit windy and cold ourside so plenty fresh air came in! Within those 2 mins the humidity...

Hi, I have garage that was built on a raft foundation. It's currently not plastered and when it rains heavy with strong winds, water is getting in through the blockwork and going into garage along the floor. At the moment I can't afford to plaster it and was thinking of applying Thomson's...

Re: Land of Leather: €500 deposit on couch, looking for balance for delivery on Frida As far as I know a post dated cheque will offer you no protection as the banks will cash them anyway. Same with cheques more than 6 months old - depending on the amount the banks will cash them

Hi wexford_dude, Are Passivent vents available in hardware shops in Ireland? Can't find anywhere to buy them online - they look very good on their website

Re: Plasterer's looking for more money. he's unlikely to give the keys back straight away if he is demanding money - but shouldn't be that expensive to change the locks if he refuses.
