Instant hedging
A customer of mine is interested in instant hedging - his is a new build on a prestigious estate. He wants a 5ft laurel hedge, immediately. Length could be 18m or 44m, depending on costing, at £250 per metre unit this is a sizeable project. I've got no experience with this sort of hedging, can anyone please offer advice? Thanks.

I appreciate there have been lots of posts on here regarding the best mowers and associated excellent advice. I have always been impressed with the quality of Honda, but, Weibang is always there in the back of my mind. Before speaking to my local dealer the other day, I was going to either go for the Weibang 53 ASD BBC for about £1350 or…

Moss and algae on hard surfaces
Does anyone have recommendations for products that actually work? I find several of them work if conditions are perfect, but not otherwise. We used to use Jeyes in the winter, but that's now practically washing up liquid. Block Blitz from QVC is amazing (a client put me on to it) but very expensive. What do people find works for them?TIATim

First year for trading with zero prior experience

I thought it might be worth sharing my experiences, in case someone in a similar situation is considering venturing into the self-employed market.At the beginning of last year, I lost my second income stream. I won't go into the details, but I have a full-time position with the local authority, so I needed to find an opportunity that would generate enough additional income without…
