Anyone got any recommendations for electric whipper snippers? Something with a rudimentary hedging bit would be nice but ultimately I just need something to replace my 2 stroke job that is falling apart and can barely even hold a cord, I can always borrow a Hedger when necessary if it means saving a hundred bucks. Battery life isn't super relevant, I need it for twenty minutes a week tops but something that uses thicker cord would be nice, like more than 1.5 at least cause I have some gnarly weeds around the place I need to hack down once every month or so

I have an Ego 56V model. It's 'OK'. Seriously get a petrol off marketplace, learn small motor servicing and restore it. The only reason I have the Ego is I used to be their service agent and I hoarded bits and made one.

I was contemplating digging out the heater 4 months early. I get the impression from people that the weather up here shifted dramatically around early 2020 just after the fires. Suddenly Spring is bone dry and Summer is cloudy and wet.

lol I had this same problem last year. I stuffed as much as I could into the recycling bin but I guess overnight it sprung the lid open so it was obvious what was inside. The garbos dumped it out and left it in front of my place.

Your council should have a graphic you can download with all the bin days for your area for the year.

Then you can just set that as the wallpaper for your computer or, if you're a really boring person, as the background on your phone.

Wait green goes out every week where you are? For us it's fortnightly and red Goes out weekly. Doesn't your red loving stink after 2 weeks?

No two councils do it the same. We're not even getting green bins until late next year and then it's going to be some stupid schedule which won't make any sense.

1. Just being able to wake up and see normally without having to wrangle on a pair of glasses is a wonderful luxury.

2. Also I have ocd about keeping my glasses clean and not having the slightest smudge so not having to worry about rain, stray uncoordinated fingers, or eyelashes and not having to obsessively wipe them with a cleaning rag 100 times a day is a real timesaver

1. YES, not having to find where they ended up the night before as an inner city gig-going beer-swilling lush means they could be fukkin anywhere. Scratching around on the floor , hungover and blind is no way to start the day.
2. Hah, I have recently transferred that habit to my bougie $40 Hawkers sunnies as they are $30 more expensive than any I have worn in years. I use a t-shirt, so it's not that big a deal fortunately.

Food scraps and garden waste goes in green so it's most likely to stink. Recyclables take up most of the rest, including most food containers. Non recyclable, non organic waste is hardly anything really. It goes out once a fortnight, sometimes once a month cos there's barely anything in it

I just checked our bin lids to make sure I'm not going mad. In BCC food scraps go in the red bin. Green bin is for garden stuff.

Same in Sydney, green for garden. Sthn Tassie is green for compostable, we burn the garden stuff. It's fun until the wind unexpectedly picks up.

We've had the central heating running at points less to keep the house warm but more to keep it dry. Theres been wet summers up here before for sure but to get 4 on the trot is unusual for sure. Dunno if I'll be able to keep growing broccoli in summer up here and with the heat and cold cycle basic poo poo like lettuce is starting to struggle hard to not bolt at the first opportunity.

The FOGO thing is great, garden bin every week means we don't have to do a tip run for the Kurrajong leaves every summer.
The only downside is our red bin (which we get a full size) every fortnight has nappies in it and holy hell that gets ripe in summer.
