Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Has anyone got a rotovator that I could borrow?

Afternoon all,

I was wondering if anybody had a rotovator that I could borrow? I'm currently revamping the garden, and having dug out all of the brambles, sycamore seedlings etc. the time has come to break it down to a fine tilth, and lay some turf. Thus far I've been using a mattock, which has left it rather lumpy, and now, with the arrival of a small boy, my time in the garden has been somewhat constrained

I've already received the kind offer of a loan of one from another site user, but unfortunately it can't be started. perhaps if anyone has any expertise of small 4-stroke engines, they could get in touch and I could point them in the direction of the owner.

I'm loth to buy one (and certainly can't afford to this month) and with a day's hire going at around £40 I thought I'd ask around first.

Thanks

Dave

I don't have one I'm afraid, but I can recommend www.ecomodo.com which is a site where people can borrow each other's stuff/kit etc.  free of charge.  I'm sure you'd find one on there.

Thanks Antoinette, very useful.

Not all free of charge unfortunately, but certainly much cheaper than from a hire place. nearer £12 than £40

Ah well, it's an improvement!  As the former vice-Chairman of Arsenal FC, I would have thought you could get the pitch groundsmen in to sort out your lawn....no, wait, that's David Dein!

Disappointingly, the person offering a rotovator on that site has not got back to me, so unless someone has one I could borrow for the day sometime next week, I'm going to have to cough up and hire/buy one.

Hi David. Do you want to go halves on one? I want to change the lawn in my back garden. I cant really do anything until the end of the month though?

Thanks for the offer Ben, but I've already got a couple of proposed shareholders within my family! I was hoping not to have to force the issue over Easter, but looks like I may have to.

 

however, should I end up buying one, I'd be happy to come to a mutual arrangement with you, or anyone else, vis-a-vis sharing!

Pumped it back out on our Facebook and Twitter channels to see if we can't whistle up something for you:
