Because we have bad memories and leave it on when go out, we have tried using just the thermostat, but often for the sake of wearing extra layer we don't need it unless it's bad weather.
We won't have it on at all today I think, blue skies and sunny with no wind.

Surely, if you go out, it will switch itself off once the temperature stabilises? I was like you about turning it off and on all the time. Chris convinced me to just leave it be as heating up from cold uses more fuel than just letting it tick over at a constant comfortable temperature.

We've not found that to be right for us when we've tried it.

Our lawn tractor has had to go back to the garage as it won’t run... the dandelions think it is a Bank Holiday so are taking advantage of the rest...
I have no desire to cut 1Ha with a hand mower - I know that’s weak, but it would take 2 weeks to do !
So, they can have their day(s).....
My day will come !

My Robo has been munching away quite well the last few weeks and now have a level manicured set of weeds. I find it therapeutic and good exercise to pull all the dandyloin heads and buds off before they populate the rest.
But I did get the tractor to mow the bits the Robo can't reach and a bit extra round the edge and borders. But it's all that nasty four letter word.!!

I have just cut a very nice harvest of chickweed, theres more that than grass, but its green and I´m fed up of trying to get rid of weeds, there is a different crop each year, last year was this horrible spidery stuff, rough as old boots to pull up, no idea what its called.
Like this, very woody and tough.
Now see what you boys have done, changed the weather to jobs of the day.

We need the bees, we don't need lawns.
We haven't had any rain this month yet, so a hose ban will be possible this summer, not that I'm complaining.

I did ours and the Church Hall next to us, this afternoon. I'm not down to its summer cut level yet as there are still frosts plus no rain to speak of for a month, as Kev says.
No complaints from me on that score though!
Very few dandelions/buttercups/clover/daisies in my lawn so far this year. I use Resolva Lawn Weedkiller. It kills the weeds and not the grass. Great stuff.

We wanted a be hive on our land but the bee man said it was too close to a field the farmer MIGHT spray. So no bee hive.
