WOW - the things people will do! A man in America tries to steal a chainsaw by hiding it down his shorts! A homeless man in the US has been arrested for allegedly trying to steal a chainsaw by hiding it under his clothes. CCTV shows the incident in October at a lawn equipment store in Florida.
South African inventor Hans Fouche recently claimed he had succeeded in 3D printing a working lawnmower in just nine hours using a 3D printer he invented himself.
However, on closer inspection of the story which appeared on the International Business Times, he 3D printed everything "except for the motor, the blade and the handle, which included the electrical switch, as well as the shafts for the wheels". So that's just the outer casing then?!
You can read fully about Hans' mega 3D printer which he used to make his mower here and you can watch it in action below.
Take note of his 'safety-first' open-toed flip-flops which he chose to wear when testing an experimental, self-printed machine which comprises of a razor sharp rotating blade.

Aspen Fuels - Now Available
Mower Magic are pleased to announce we are stockists of the Aspen range of 2-stroke and 4-stroke fuels.
Aspen 2 is a ready-mixed (2%) alkylate petrol for all 2-stroke small capacity engines with a recommended mix of 2% or 1:50. It is mixed with a synthetic high quality high performance 2-stroke oil for maximum protection and low smoke. This 2-stroke ready-mixed alkylate petrol contains no sulphur, benzene or aromatics. It is therefore much better from a health aspect to use than regular petrol. In fact normal petrol contains so much benzene and aromatics (read solvents) that it is a real health risk to use in 2-stroke engines. Aspen 2 is also chemically inert so you can comfortably leave the fuel in the machine and it will not gum-up. It will also store for years whereas normal petrol start to go off after 30 days.
The Autofiller for the Aspen 5 litre can makes refuelling of your machine safe and easy. The Autofiller protects you and your environment from unnecessary direct contact with the fuel through the unique vapour recovery system. The complete seal from the can to the tank ensures there is no release of petrol vapours. The fuel vapour from the tank is sucked into the container. When the tank is full, the Autofiller automatically stops refuelling.
The advantages: Designed to fit the Aspen 5 litre can Rotatable in all positions Fits on most tank openings Stops automatically when the tank is full Unique vapour return system No Aspen wasted by spillage Solid 100% recyclable plastic

Burn when ready
Make the most of your logs and get the most possible heat from them. Log burining is once again on the increase. Did you know that when the moisture content of logs to be burnt is lower than 20% - the logs burn well and produce good warmth. Conversely when the moisture content of the logs is greater than 20% - do not burn as well, the residue from burning 'damp' logs can damage chimneys and creates the risk of combustion within the chimney.

Alan Titchmarsh is returning to the BBC for four hour-long programmes. The programmes, to be broadcast in March 2010 on BBC2, will feature Alan Titchmarsh's favourite UK gardens. However the presenter will not be returning to Gardeners' World on TV, as has been rumoured. Alan said recently that "there's no truth in the rumours."
The nephew of legendary racer Sir Donald Campbell is hoping to break a new speed world record - in a lawnmower. Don Wales unveiled the modified machine called Project Runningblade at the Beaulieu Motor Museum in the New Forest, Hampshire.
Mr Wales plans to beat the current record lawnmower speed of 80.793mph, reached by American Bob Cleveland in 2006. In its production form the top speed of the Kawasaki engine-powered lawnmower is just 10 miles an hour. However, Mr Wales, 49, has used a team of five technicians, including experts in aerodynamics and fuel additives, to enhance the machine.
Mr Wales, who already holds the world land-speed record for a car driven by steam, told Sky News Online: " As well as reaching break-neck speeds, a condition of Guinness World Records rules is that the lawnmower must be able to cut grass.
The race is due to take place on Pendine Sands in Carmarthenshire in February, and the event will raise funds for Great Ormond Street Hospital and Wessex Heartbeat.

Politicians back campaign for runway orchard
Conservative Party leader David Cameron is among the politicians from all parties who are sponsoring Cox apple trees planted on the site of Heathrows proposed third runway at Sipson. Actors, including Richard Briers from The Good Life and Gavin and Stacey actress Alison Steadman, local residents and the poet laureate Carol-Ann Duffy were on hand to help plant an orchard to show their opposition to expansion at the airport.
The orchard will represent the re-introduction of the Coxs Orange Pippin apple into the area and is designed to act as a potent symbol of the determination by politicians and the local community to stop the runway, save Sipsons homes and gardens and school and fight climate change. The Cox apple was first bred in the area in the 1850s by Richard Cox, who is buried on the site earmarked for a new runaway and his body may be exhumed if the development goes ahead. The orchard has been planted on land purchased by Greenpeace from under the noses of BAA and the Government earlier this year. It was then offered to members of the public and 60,000 people from across the world now co-own the land targeted by BAAs bulldozers.

100 Year Old Gardeners Notebook Found
Sean Reid, head gardener to the National Trust gardens at Ickwoth, is eager to trace anyone who might have known the gardener at Ickworth between 1900 and 1930. The appeal follows the discovery of a gardeners' notebook during a wet day clear out the estate sheds.
The notebook is a hand written account of activities that took place in the estate gardens, including detailed weather records, a planting list including all of the varieties - long since lost - of fruit trees and species that were planted - it is said that the work is penned by more than one person. The information in the book is helping National Trust volunteers build up a picture of when the orchards were in their 'heyday' by adding details to an ordnance survey map of 1880's.
Sean Reid said of the find, "Weve wanted to reinstate some of the fruit trees here for a long time and were already in the process of deciding what to do when my colleague Cath Mobbs made this incredible discovery. "It means that we dont have to make blind guesses and can now be really true to how Ickworth was created to be in future work. Any gardener would kill for this kind of information, its amazing to think its just been sitting there all these years."
Please contact the National Trust if you think you could help.

THE GOOD LIFE - 100 Years of Growing Your Own
2009 has been a year of Growing Your Own from allotments to balconies and window-boxes, people throughout Britain are growing their own and enjoying a slice of The Good Life.
Discover the 100 year history behind the countrys current love affair with growing food in this great new exhibition at the Museum of Gardening. From the Allotment Act of 1908, through WWIIs Dig For Victory campaign and the Self-Sufficiency movement of the 1970s to the present day, paintings, photographs, personal memoirs and even the odd home-spun sweater will tell the story of why, how and what we have grown.
The exhibits will take you through the highs and lows of produce gardening. Find out what happened to the Manor Garden allotments in the wake of the 2012 bid and how the world of allotments and community gardening is shaping up for the future. From a 1918 medal for vegetable growing in the trenches to a pamphlet on how to 'grow your own smokes', youll uncover some amazing facts and stories.
The exhibition also asks if the current boom is just a credit-crunch fad or whether we really want to change the way we eat for good. Whatever your experience, you can share your opinions and stories when you visit.
The exhibition is on from 6th October 2009 - 7th March 2010
A well-known heritage charity is encouraging employees to help the environment by switching their indoor loo to a slightly more rustic alternative - outdoors. The experiment, for male gardening staff at Wimpole Hall, will supposedly help the compost to develop. Wimpole is a stately home about 50 miles north of London.
The National Trust, which runs the property, says the staff are being encouraged to urinate on straw which is then placed on compost heaps. The trust said Friday that the chemical reaction helps the composting process, while the absence of flushing by 10 members of staff could cut the estate's water use by almost a third.
Officials warned the gardeners to make sure they urinate in spots where they cannot be seen by passers-by.
