weed burner, never knew anybody made a kettle on a stick. What are you supposed to do, stand there for ages waiting for the weeds to feel the heat ? seems a real daft idea to me.
A week whacker / strimmer is more the norm where I live. But I still keep a hoe.

Cal, your link is access denied.
The LIDL shop were offering a £20 2kW hot air heat blaster thing too, but it was out of stock. Looked effective. Like one of those hot air guns you can get to light coal fires.
But I figured the fan would probably conk out quickly, especially if all my neighbours borrowed it for their patios. What can go wrong with a kettle element? 😀

since we're all audio people, we need an audio solution to the weeds. Maybe try playing Country music 😀
For the most part, the colour of whisky is determined by the ageing process, as well as the level of char on the barrel it’s aged in.
Simply put, the longer a spirit is aged, the browner it will be.
However, that is not always the case.
Used barrels, for example, often fail to impart much colour, a problem when consumers instinctively equate dark colour with older age and bigger flavour.
Many companies bridge that colour gap by the addition of whisky caramel colouring.

I could be wrong on this, but I suspect my VooDoo man is increasing the fertility of those weeds.

Have you calculated the area of the circle you can treat with this little wonder? (My lawnmower has similar length of cable, but instead of planting mains sockets every second yard in the garden I use an extender cable)
Without a doubt Sir Galu. All of which you speak be the lard struth. The E150 I believe though is more common than we wish to allow ourselves to divulge. I made a grave error by saying it did all the heavy lifting. I would have been wise to suggest it does some of it. We live in a world that still wants to believe that the cask has all the answers and I was hasty in my stand.
I retract any sort of that judgement once you have a whisky that is old enough to buy itself. Safe to say E150 plays little or no role there. I am a common man speaking only of common whisky, the likes of which I am able to provide my family.
Slàinte Mhath.
I can't justify buying the dear stuff either, although I do have a bottle of Bowmore which has appreciated to around £150.
I'm keeping it for the few people who may turn up for my funeral! 😀

Ever tried I Thai Mekong ?
Guaranteed to be at least 14 days old.
It says so on the label!!
Scots has to be 3 years old to be called such.
Mind ye, a wee nip of old Ainsley's swill never hurt the palate too bad. Came from his sabhal chaorach it did. Might even be where me illegit bairn came from.
Don't be telling the Mrs, hear?

I've noticed that when older folks hear of a death, there first question is always "What did he die of?"
"(say) Diabetes."
"Oh that's ALRIGHT then. I haven't got THAT. Anyway, he had a GOOD INNINGS." 😀
I can't see any problems with not unreeling my cable. Surely the return current cancels out the other one? I did Physics. 😕
Anyway it would be in Gardener's World if it was important. This month we have "The Pruning Guide", "Wheelbarrows On Test". And joy of joys, Part 3/12 of the Idiots Guide to Gardening. "Greenhouses: Where to Start". Can't wait!
I told my neighbour that the Wheelbarrow test didn't look of much interest to me. "And what can go wrong with a wheelbarrow?"
"Oh no, I want to read it after you. I am thinking of buying one!" he replied.

It's nothing to do with inductance, simply that the I squared R heat can't escape form the core of a coiled up cable reel. Think meltdown!
I don' t unreel. This makes my son mad, telling me I will get a meltdown.
I do it on purpose, for the fun.
