That's why RJC Thumbs Up .
I've spent the winter driving my FL2 in the local forest every day.
The amount of mud and s Censored t that flies of it when I drive on tarmac now the weather is better amounts to danger to other road users.
Plus the added weight is playing havoc with mpg Laughing Another member of the failed FL2 clutch/DMF club, twice.

I hate gardening and weeding, going to get a holiday out of the way, come back and give it, its first mow of the season at some point in April

I also need to trim about 160'+ of conifer hedge too and tree, get rid of a load of rubbish, clear the garage, going to need a huge skip to get rid of the hedge trimmings alone

Anybody know if conifer trimings burn as thought about a nice big, burning bin to burn it all away, might smoke a bit been green

or get a gardener, who can take it all away

Conifer trimmings tend to be full of resin, and therefore burn very well. Too well if you're not careful - the needles can burn off pretty vigorously!

We have brown plastic bins, to get rid of garden waste, but the last time i did a full trim down, it took 8 or 9 bin fulls to get rid and they dont collect weekly, i was borrowing neighbour aswell

think that amount might take a while to burn

Might tiewrap the bin lids closed and shove them in the boot, then drop off at the not local household waste depot

My ivy has run out of control and even into the next door neighbours, so be like me and get someone in to do it. All things you hate doing should be left to someone else Cool

glad my ivy is only on the fence, near my cars, seen it destroy some houses, with its sticky things that dry like concrete when you pull it off

might get some irish landscapers passing through soon, who i can barter with on the price
