Are you automating the aeration process mechanically or manually ?

If the clay is deep you need to go down into the clay beyond the root zone therefore hollow tine but a…"

"I’ve had two BG86s and they both only lasted just over three years, just long enough to pack up just outside of the warranty. I then switched to the stihl BGA 100 battery blower. I would never go back to petrol.

I added the Tadpole bit with tongue firmly in cheek - over it now:)
Of course you can add links to your sites (don't forget to embed the URL).
As far as cross links are concerned - add the URL's to your profile and all I can say is stay active and other members will click through to you.
All the best

I'm looking forward to reading about the progress with collecting your mother's paintings floral pictures and editing of her memoirs. What an incredible story you have.
Best wishes
Carol
As Carol says, what an incredible story.
I think Carol's already suggested to you that you blog here about your story - it would be a great way to share your Mother's story.
Regards
Phil
I now have a very enthusiastic PR company alongside to help manage the publicity/marketing aspects and hopefully that will move us up a gear. One of her plans is to hold a physical exhibition of some 200 paintings, drawings, sketches and other works in March next year to coincide with the book launch.
In the meantime, if any LJ members want a preview of the quality of this remarkable 20th century artist, just logon to www.barbara-everard.com. Not forgetting the Barbara Everard Trust for Orchid Conservation, which is in need of some support!
Best wishes to all.
Your (Mother's) story is unique and I feel it something of interest to anyone who's worked, or is working, in horticulture (including garden design and landscaping).
I've passed this story to a friend of mine (she's and RHS plant illustrator/artist) and I hope we can bring the story to the wider horticulture audience.
Are you a member of the World Business Fair? I could invite you to join and you might get some mileage from it. Let me know.
