Billy Goat F1802SPV Self-Propelled Wheeled Blower

Billy Goat F1802SPV Self-Propelled Wheeled Blower £2279.00
This top-of-the-range wheeled blower from Billy Goat delivers the ultimate in power and volume, and as such is suitable for the toughest debris clearance applications over the largest areas. Powering it is a very high-performance 570cc Briggs & Stratton Vanguard engine that develops a massive 18hp; and which employs V-Twin overhead-valve technology that ensures it runs cooler and cleaner and offers impressively low-levels of fuel-consumption. An electronic ignition and a float-feed carburettor combine to make starting ultra-dependable; while full-pressure lubrication and a spin-on oil-filter work to protect crucial parts from premature wear and tear.The Billy Goat F1802SPV Self-Propelled Wheeled Blower is equipped with a 43cm 16-bladed closed-face impellor that moves the air at a brutal 322km/h (200mph); enough to shift those tiresome glass-bottles and sticky, downtrodden leaves.It features a 360˚ rotatable discharge-chute, which you can quickly adjust and lock into your desired position without using tools (Aim ‘n’ Shoot™); and it benefits from a smooth, rounded housing that eliminates air-voids for super-quiet operation.Thanks to its rear-wheel power-drive, the Billy Goat F1802SPV is a great performer on the sort of sloping and/or rough terrain that would be tough to negotiate with a hand-propelled machine. Billy Goat have provided a click-on extension tube can be fitted if you need to clear along fence-lines and walls; and a heavily padded handlebar for reduced vibration-transfer and therefore a more comfortable working experience.

Cotoneaster dammeri (cotoneaster)

Cotoneaster dammeri (cotoneaster) was £8.99 now £5.99
Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: moderately fertile, well-drained soil Rate of growth: fast-growing Flowering period: June Hardiness: fully hardy This vigorous, wide spreading, evergreen cotoneaster is one of the best groundcover plants. In June, it is studded with small, white flowers, followed by showy, bright red, autumn berries. It is tolerant of a wide range of conditions including dry soil, and its self-rooting tips soon spread to form a low blanket of weed-suppressing dark green foliage. Garden care: After flowering in late spring or early summer, lightly cut back any branches that spoil the symmetry of the plant and apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plant. In autumn, trim back lightly any branches that obscure the display of fruit.

20Kg Premium Quality Peanuts

20Kg Premium Quality Peanuts £29.99
20Kg Premium Quality Peanuts Peanuts are a very versatile source of nutrition for wild birds as they are full of calories and have a high content of natural oils, protein, essential vitamins and minerals. They are a great feed to use throughout the year but especially beneficial in winter and spring when extra energy is needed to raise their young. Peanuts will attract a wide range of birds including: – Blackbird, Blue Tit, Bullfinch, Chaffinch, Coal Tit, Collared Dove, Dunnock, Goldfinch, Great Tit, Greenfinch, Greenfinch, House Sparrow, Nuthatch, Robin, Siskin, Song Thrush, Starling, Swallow and Wren. Wild birds can often fly miles to feed from your feeder, once your new friends have established a feeding routine it is important to ensure that you keep a fresh supply of food available to stop them having a wasted journey and using up much needed energy. These whole peanuts should ideally be fed from a peanut feeder, but they can be fed from bird tables and from the ground . However feeding from a ground feeder or table should be avoided during the breeding season as there is a risk of choking if whole nuts are feed to young chicks. Peanuts can be contaminated by a fungus which produces a poison – aflatoxin that is harmful to birds. All the peanuts that we supply have been stringently tested to ensure they are within EC safety standards and safe for birds to feed upon.
