Probably, but its cheaper than solid wood

Even softwood seems so expensive. Plywood is probably the extent of my budget for a lot of things. Not sure how well it lasts outside or how treatable it is though so just haven’t really made much.

I generally prefer fermented fruits and honey. Although I suppose rhubarb is a vegetable, and one of the things I grow with hand tools.

Yeah, seems to be what I have found. Small companies with a skilled workforce so far in my experience have been the best.

Yeah, expectation of them doing HP style bullshit makes me want to refuse the entire thing.

Plus as long as hand tools do a good enough job there is something rather satisfying about using them. So much quieter too, I can hear the local cats if one of them turns up and wants a head scratch. Or if I have gloves on, a tummy rub.

Petrol generator is probably cheaper. But still expensive.

I really hate proprietary batteries on powertools, so corded is tempting. But I can’t get power 250m away across a road and several other peoples gardens.

Jackery/similar are a far higher capacity than I would realistically need to run a few tools for a fairly brief duration but you need the big ones to have a high enough current limit to reliably run any kind of garden power tools I may need.

I found another solution though. Return to tradition! Got a hand scythe. Also working to remove most grass areas. Not 100% sure what to do with the space over winter when veg isn’t growing. More rhubarb? At least weeds don’t grow as much over winter either.

You have to ask?

If they couldn’t tell by my comments about windows, the socks should make it obvious.

Good point, and just as they can fire you at little to no notice during probation, you can leave quickly too.

Or they feel so much imposter syndrome that they keep quiet.

I mean I am probably not even good enough to have imposter syndrome, its probably the Dunning Kruger effect.

And if smoke breaks are allowed, have a snack break

I don’t think we have those here

No fires here, how much traffic pollution do they remove and how much goes through?

Have wondered about making one, not sure where I would get HEPA sheets like that though, or a fan like that tbh. Don’t seem to be that common in the UK.

Luigi did the right thing. Can I join?
