I do this already with my own company and so in reality i am my own first customer. I will also get to meet clients and get into specifics of their businesses and potentially give advice 'outside of the box'.<br /><br />So i would like to thank all of you for your valuable contributions and helping me. If you want to grow your business using social media then feel free to contact me.<br /><br />if you want to buy grasslines.net - its for sale for £239,000 :-)</p></div>Social Media integration on LJNhttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/forum/topics/social-media-integration-on-ljn2021-03-19T20:13:34.000Z2021-03-19T20:13:34.000ZGary RK @ Landscape Juice Networkhttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profil/GaryRK286<div><p style="text-align:left;">New platform features have allowed LJN to increase its social media integration for Forum posts.</p>

It’s heart-warming to finally see a shift in the way we are living our lives – even if it may be temporary. Of course, it could be in better situations where people aren’t worried about what is coming next, have still got their jobs, and can actually buy toilet paper. </p><p>It is nonetheless an opportunity to be able to do the things that we have been meaning to do, to read the book that you’ve been wanting to read but haven’t had time for, or even simply sweeping the back patio after meaning to do it for months. This idle time is allowing us to go back to basics and to pick up the hobbies that we swapped for the television, the internet and all other technological devices that we fill up our spare time with, in the aim of diverting the mind after a long day at work. Don’t get me wrong, these things are still obviously present in our lives, but we now have the mental space to pick back up the paintbrush that we just haven’t had the heart to use or to finally make time for that workout.</p><p>The restriction of only having an allowance of one outing per day has surprisingly teased out the long-distance runner we once were. Because our time outdoors is now restricted and a premium, we are making sure to take advantage of it, instead of taking it for granted that we always have the opportunity to go – and we just never ‘end up going’.</p><p><br /><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}4247844519,RESIZE_710x{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-full" src="{{#staticFileLink}}4247844519,RESIZE_710x{{/staticFileLink}}" width="538" alt="4247844519?profile=RESIZE_710x" /></a></p><p> </p><p>Swapping cars and buses for man-powered transportation, i.e. walking, the restriction of air-traffic as well as factories shutting down due to them being a high-risk environment has also had a huge effect on the environment. Unprecedented sights are occurring such as dolphins returning to swim in areas in Sardinia that have been dominated by ferries, and the canals of Venice have clarified from the decrease in water traffic. NASA has also released pictures of areas known to be of high pollution – and the contrast with the current levels that are pictured in comparison.</p><p> </p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}4247862392,RESIZE_1200x{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-full" src="{{#staticFileLink}}4247862392,RESIZE_710x{{/staticFileLink}}" width="574" height="322" alt="4247862392?profile=RESIZE_710x" /></a></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The restriction of our movements has allowed our planet to finally breathe and to restore itself in a very short amount of time.</p><p><strong>What benefits have you found from being in quarantine? </strong></p><p> </p></div>Progreen Discount: Last Week of September Promotion Commotionhttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/forum/topics/progreen-discount-last-week-of-september-promotion-commotion2019-09-21T17:46:35.000Z2019-09-21T17:46:35.000ZTim Wallachhttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profil/TimWallach<div><p>Dear <span style="font-size:14pt;">Progreen People</span></p><p>I (and the people that reply to this optimistic post) have decided you need to do a <span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Last Week of September</strong></span> promotion.</p><p>That 'LJN Sponsor logo' up there on the right is all very well, but as the nights draw in you need to add some pizzazz.</p><p>All you have to do is post a <span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>new discount code</strong></span> and sit back while the orders pour in.</p><p>Autumn lawn feeds will help the <span style="font-size:14pt;">green shoots</span> of recovery post-Brexit.

<p>However, there appears a trend that websites are loosing popularity with some preferring to establish their online presence using social media - a mix  of Twitter, FB, LI, Instagram etc.</p>
<p>A couple of articles I’ve recently read support this suggesting that websites are too static, too expensive (development, hosting, support/enhancements etc) versus social media that is dynamic in content, can instantly respond to opportunities, deploy new offerings by ‘pushing’  it out to prospective clients.</p>
<p>Its a fast moving world now and It’s certainly got me thinking....</p>
<p>Is an answer to just use websites as a point of reference now and drive business by SM or even have no website ( although I suggest that would not work for all )</p>
<p>Interested to hear what you think ....</p>

They wanted me to put in 20m2 grey sandstone patio in a day, not a massive area bearing in mind prep work was to be done by someone else and in all likelihood probably not going to be done until at least late morning. I provisionally said ok even though im currently in the middle of a large contract, erring on the side of caution and expressing my concerns about it being done as quick as that, especially properly what with umpteen other people bustling about and inevitable delays and stoppages that could happen though I said I would be willing to to work on to the evening if need be with a couple of lights put up. I was also asked to provide some equipment that I shouldn't really need like a whacker plate (prepare was supposed to be done by someone else I was just to lay the stuff..) also I was asked to do a second general day building raised beds and gabion and whatnot, nothing actually spelled out what I was required to do specifically. </p><p>I turned it down when it came to money. They wanted me to do all this for a day rate that was less than my normal rate anyway plus I did have a laugh when they wanted me to put that patio in for the same.. what with all the potential for stuff going wrong. Unfortunately there is probably somebody out there who thinks it's a stepping stone to the big-time by getting on TV or just really wants to meet Dimmock! I think I'll stick to customers who actually pay properly.</p></div>Fact, Fiction & Weed Management - Amenity Forumhttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/forum/topics/fact-fiction-weed-management-amenity-forum2018-06-06T07:27:00.000Z2018-06-06T07:27:00.000ZPhil Voicehttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profil/philvoice<div><p><a href="http://amenityforum.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/amenity-forum.png" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img class="align-right" src="http://amenityforum.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/amenity-forum.png" /></a>"Speaking recently, Professor John Moverley, Independent Chairman of the Amenity Forum, linked such danger in the context of weed management. Best practice is founded on an integrated approach to weed management in amenity, ensuring correct cultural and design practices, making use of mechanical and biological control where appropriate and using approved and authorised chemicals. In keeping our amenity areas safe, clean and healthy – whether that’s on our streets, railways, sports surfaces, or parks – chemical control often provides the most economic and effective approach. The herbicides that are used go through extensive approval processes and are constantly monitored. Indeed the authorisation is far tougher and rigorous than for many other everyday products."</p>

I have decided it's time to get back to being outdoors. Currently I have my own ltd servicing, repairing steam turbines in the power industry. I have sort of fell into that and it's rubbish. It pays really well but it's not for me in the long term.My back ground is greenkeeping and golf course construction. Which is where I was employed until redundancy at the end of the recession in 2010. So now I'm coming back. I have all the usual quals associated with greenkeeping, golf course construction.So now do I target my local area of north Somerset for garden maintenance or move into landscaping and update my qualifications to fit that as well.Any advice on the above would be brilliant.</div>How do I add a photo from an android phone?https://landscapejuicenetwork.com/forum/topics/how-do-i-add-a-photo-from-an-android-phone2018-01-08T14:18:30.000Z2018-01-08T14:18:30.000ZDarren Waltershttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profil/DarrenWalters<div>I have a Google pixelCheers, Darren</div>Forum post formattinghttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/forum/topics/forum-post-formatting2018-01-06T15:19:07.000Z2018-01-06T15:19:07.000ZGary RKhttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profil/GaryRK<div><p>Just a reminder for those with iPhones who use them to post threads on LJN, you can now format your text, paragraphs, embed graphics and attach photos etc.</p>

<p>This opens up the ability to upload photos from your mobile device library or camera into an LJN thread. This also enables the multi function Text editing box while entering your post (ie as used on full browsers on PCs) and removes the annoying habit of HTML tags being left in posts if you re-edit it on a mobile device. A timely reminded from Mr Gadsby on another thread made me realise that most will not know about this feature (plus a hundred more features, options and fixes on iOS 11.xx)</p>
<p>To get access to the full function text editing box, is to simply tell Safari to request opening  a website in Desktop site mode (see screen shot)</p>

And <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.learningwithexperts.com/gardening" target="_blank">MyGardenSchool</a> has now grown quite a lot. We're trialling an initiative where we'd like to find 10 people who would be happy to learn together in one class - and really feel like they would benefit from being taught by some of the best experts in the world (Piet Oudolf, Michael Marriott from David Austin, Dr Noel Kingsbury, Annie Guilfoyle, Dr Toby Musgrave and others). I would like to offer a select group of Landscape Juice Members this opportunity to trial a course of their choice with us at www.learningwithexperts.com/gardening (you can take your pick from there). But you must meet the following criteria:</p><ul><li>Be a practising (or aspiring) gardener, landscaper or designer (ideally not formally qualified)</li><li>Not have experienced MyGardenSchool before</li><li>Willing to share your experience socially and take photographs of your work</li></ul><p>What you will get: This is an experiment, so we're keen to follow your progress of how you learn and interact as a group, and understand how you interact with your tutors. </p><p>You really will get feedback from Dr Noel Kingsbury personally (or the other tutors you choose to study with). If more than 10 people want to do this, we will split you into groups. However we won't make this happen unless there is interest from at least 10 of you (as it's the group dynamic we want to study). We will need you to pay something towards the course, but once we reach 10+ volunteers we are happy to reduce the price to 50% of our normal rate (eg for Annie Guilfoyle's urban design course, this is a reduction of several hundred pounds). </p><p>Dr Noel Kingsbury and Piet Oudolf are right behind this study (as are the others), and are also producing a new course about the Highline next year. </p><p>I thought I would post on here to gauge interest. <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.learningwithexperts.com/gardening/courses" target="_blank">Here is where you can choose your course selection</a> (we are assuming that Piet and Noel, and the higher priced courses will be chosen, as you get £100s off, but that may not be the case. Please let me know (and happy to discuss on here) if this is of interest. Or you can email me privately on elspeth@learningwithexperts.com - but I will let people know on here when we reach a group of 10.</p><p>Finally once you've all studied together, we like the idea of introducing you in person. We are currently looking to do a small show garden at Chelsea Flower Show next year, and would like to involve some of this group in it. </p><p>Please post here if you'd like to take part and if we do get 10 of you interested we will start the experiment (I will write back to you with the codes to access classes)<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/UztlhSgxv-Y?wmode=opaque" frameborder="0"></iframe>. </p><p></p><p></p></div>Advertshttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/forum/topics/adverts2017-06-07T21:49:21.000Z2017-06-07T21:49:21.000ZRichard Gadsbyhttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profil/RichardGadsby<div>Is it just me or are we being bombarded with advertisements now on ljn?</div>Starting my own businesshttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/forum/topics/starting-my-own-business2017-05-19T02:40:17.000Z2017-05-19T02:40:17.000ZKingsley Powershttps://landscapejuicenetwork.com/profil/KingsleyPowers<div>Hi my name is Kingsley.I am 21 years old I was working in drainage/civil engineering/ flagging ground works, till around a year ago.

I can suggest an edit but not make direct changes. I have tried to go through the verify process but to be honest, I got confused/fed up/lost track/gave up.</p><p>There were two listings at one point so I applied to take management of one so I could remove it and appeared to be sending emails to myself about it via google.</p><p>There are however, a couple of other firms with at the same/similar name that are not in our immediate area but close enough to pop up too. I'm not concerned about them at this stage, I just want to get some consistency across our own Website/Google page/Facebook page/Yell.com listing etc.</p><p>For clarity here - we are Rain-or-Shine Garden Services and based in Stourbridge West Midlands DY8 3BQ</p><p></p><p>Can any one advise in simple, non-technical terms the process I need to go through to achieve my aim please?</p></div>
