I thought it was dead funny when calling him in and sounding like Captain Bligh from Mutiny on the Bounty...... Not sure the neighbours got the pun though lol
That's completely different to my wet room shower drain. Presumably the bit you screwed off is some sort of fine filter to stop crud going down that tiny flattened hole?
Nice :). I guess the RHS site will have some tips on pruning.
As mentioned we have a couple of hydrangea petiolaris and they are thugs. Meant to prune after flowering which we do, but we do ours pretty hard every 2 years or so to stop it taking over. Sulks a bit after that though :)
I'm on my crappy tablet with hazy screen but can't see two threaded sections (cog and reverse thread for lockring).. Is it a freewheel hub?
Apologies if my screen is giving a false impression
