Thanks for the question, the mesh is to stop squirrels 🐿️ digging up the bulbs.

Hi. Thanks for the comment. The planting is beds and borders method is demonstrated from 5 minutes 20 seconds on the video. I had to demonstrate it in a pot due to ground conditions at time of filming, but hopefully we can shoot a video planting in boarders this year which sounds exactly what you are looking for. I’m sorry I couldn’t find any images or videos of these pots when they were in flower but this is where I got the bulbs from and they have great photos: tidd.ly/464E5xo

Almost unbelievable 😆

Good to hear 💚

Glad it was helpful 💚

Thank you for your lovely comment 💚

Thank you… yes, it’s rear to spot me without muddy sleeves 😂 🫢

Glad it was useful 😀

I did this review about 10 months ago, but the products available have not changed much. All the main blowers of this power and price range a similar in performance. You mentioned the Hyundai, most blower/vacs use a similar design to the Hyundai HYBV3000E, I did not test the Hyundai but tested 4 others with similar blower functions, they worked well but the vacuum settings were not as good as the flymo. The only better blower/vacs I found were petrol powered. The main reason I preferred this model over others in its price range was: the air channel is different for blower and vac settings, this means the vac works better then others corded blower/vacs. This separate vac set up that makes it the best (in my opinion) it also creates a downside that you need to change the configuration from blower and make sure it is locked in place correctly. I think the flymo is the only model that has this separate vac configuration, if that helps with comparison?

yes this has helped thank you for your reply 👍

Great 👍

I hope you didn’t get the Hyundai I did get it and sent it back the next day it was terrible I have now ordered the flymo 3000

@@worksavetravelrepeat6072 no I got the flymo 3000 from homebase on deal for £47. The blower works really well quite powerful to be honest and the vacuum is pretty decent aswell got clogged up a couple of times but just turn it off shake it all out and turn back on and your good to go. overall i was really impressed with it the only thing that disappointed me was i read somewhere it had a metal fan blade thing but it has a plastic one. mabye I was given the wrong information but I'm not worried it seems strong enough. hope you enjoy your leaf blowing 👍😂

Hi Elaine, for Dublin early autumn is best for planting spring flowering crocus; the earliest would be from around that September to the latest December. The best time late September or October if the weather has turned colder, if summers warm temperatures stay late I would hold off until late October early November (but buy them now so you don’t miss out and store them as suggested on the packet).

@@OriginalGardening great that helps alot, it's getting colder now and raining alot. I'll wait until October 😊 have a packet waiting 😊. Thanks 👍🏻

@@elainemfarrell4476 fantastic, happy growing 😀💚

Great, glad it was helpful 👍👍

Thanks 🙏

Good points it is very powerful on blow, I sometimes use a light lawn rake to help tease leaves up when using the vac setting.

@@OriginalGardening Hello Dan. There was some dried earth obviously creating a blockage. I just gave it a good knock and out it came. Thanks so much for your response and suggestions. David

I’m happy this helped 😀 I had an old model also that was much simpler, but I do think this is still the best corded machine in its price range.

A tea spoon, you can go up to half a teaspoon normally without it harming the plant. I advise rinsing off the plant with water the next day if you can.

Use your eyes, you can see he's using a teaspoon in the video.

Glad it was useful 😀

Glad you found the video of value 😀 yes the danger is now that you will create jobs so you can use it 😆

I would say more so when using the vac then the blower setting. To compare to something similar, it is maybe a bit loader than an electric mower, but not as load as a petrol mower. I would advise hearing protection, but you shouldn’t get complaints from the neighbours.

@@OriginalGardening you haven’t met my neighbours! 😂😂 thanks so much for the review

😂, you are most welcome 😀

@@OriginalGardening Lovely! Succession gardening 🌿🌷🌹

Glad you found it useful 💚

sorry for the distress! I am happy to report I still have my thumb ;) ... and yes played back it looks closer than it was. I am hoping to shoot a better video soon as conditions were pretty challenging filming this one! I hope it was still useful.

I am speaking from a perspective from gardening in the southeast of England, so flowering will differ depending on your region or zone. I normally get a proper flowering every year on newly divided plants in spring if I divide in autumn (fall). If I divide in spring I get flowering sometimes in the autumn/winter but definitely in the spring. I am finding some years they are in bud and flower almost every month! If they are in plant beds and boarders, I don’t have a set rule but I like to divide every two to three years. In pots and containers I like to divide every year or two years. If you have a regular issue with Vine Weevil you may want to do every year in autumn to remove the larvae eating the roots.
