Afternoon, i'm watching a, Garden Master Reverso rotovator, on ebay. But i can't really seem to find out hardly anything about the company, stockists or how easy it is to get spares for them. Can anyone shed any light on the matter for me.

I will be very grateful.

Garden.Master is a dead subsidiary of Birchwood Price tools.

Looks like they used to buy in or commission big batches of stuff, branded Garden Master and sell it to stores like Screwfix.....

Evening Peter, thank you for that infomation, i was really struggling to find anything about them.

Same.

The brand is still in use on hand tools......

I guess the machinery will be a deal from a manufacturer somewhere and the engine & wheels will be standard items, but, the gearbox and tines could be a maintenance issue.

Can see why you are following if it is the one at £50 this morning, shot up somewhat since, looks smart.

I was thinking about the gearbox, Peter, so it will have to be cheapish...

It has shot up a little, hasn't it Geoff, and that's without me flaunting my money!

find no spares - buyer bewares!

Regards Sally Wright.

Dear Sally, wise words indeed.......

I was just wondering Sally, you're not a good cook as well as being a brilliant gardener and a first rate mechanic, are you?

If so, you must be every blokes dream wife.

Dear OH,
not quite, I cook very well but it's the bodywork that is the problem. Namely the looks and attitude of Norah Batty..... 'Tis best if I remain single.
Regards Sally Wright.

Strange, because OH had the looks & attitude of Compo!
A match made between shed and front door if not in heaven?

Do people really care about looks, only the shallow ones in my experience.

See you've bid it up a fair bit now.

Same here Sally and though my lovely-lady doesn't appreciate most of my cooking she always appreciates the effort. I used to cook for an ex-wife and three growing daughters, they and most visitors thought my cooking was tasty and different. I was an early convert to vegetarianism at a time vegetarians were considered odd and quirky.

One problem I never overcame was the problem of cabbage, I have always used cabbage and it's took me 50 years to have a recipe accepted by everyone except my lovely lady.

I noticed that KG magazine was making a case for the cabbage and it's why KG magazine is different in the same way as gardening book I have from the River-Cottage series. It's gardening and garden-ings applications or rather the applications of the results.

I know what I mean.

Where else can you go from rotovators to good looks to cooking cabbage all in one place! Gardeners are a unique blend.

Good luck with your bidding.
