Do battery powered tools justify the cost ?
I am really considering a battery powered Husqvarna 520 iHD70 anyone have one ?I am just struggling to justify the cost of a battery powered machine compared to petrol . I'll probably need 2 to 3 batteries and at least a charger or two . the cost is considerably more than a petrol with two batteries. In the long run would it eventually save money before the battery went bust ? I probably use a litre of petrol a day ( £1.30 approx ) hedgetrimming, to charge a battery around 4p it is a saving…
Read more…Support for trained fruit trees
Hi,We have a customer who bought few differently trained fruit trees (espalier and fan) which will be trained along the brick wall. Each tree has branches at different levels so probably the only reasonable way to do it will be to install wires separate for each tree. Could you advise what support systems you have used for that? Big eye screws? Some wire tensioners? It is the first time where we are going to install something like this so any advice is welcome! Thank you!

Hi,I bought the frontline compact lance a couple of years ago, the first one I had the square discs didn't work so they sent a replacement. The second lance for used a couple of times and then blocked despite using the cleaning fluid. At the time I tried cleaning out several times with the special fluid but the flow never returned properly. I ended up leaving it and going back to a normal backpack sprayer. Does anyone know of there is a way of taking it apart and cleaning or would I have to…

We will be starting a substantial new maintenance contract soon, there is a gently sloping rough grass area to be cut 4 times per year, very large area which we are considering buying a walk behind strimmer for rather than hand strimming, it needs to be 2 stroke because of the slope - any recommendations ?The same site also has a grass embankment at least a quarter of a mile long with one side to steep for a conventional pedestrian mower, this is cut fortnightly, we were considering using hand…

Read more…Does this sound like a really bad idea?
Ongoing issue now over several years. Plant hire business near me, located on outskirts of a small village, dispose of all their tyres, plastics on a huge bonfire once or twice a month. Because it's on the edge of the village people can smell it, but not always identify the source. I've physically approached the owner twice now, to complain, have had an ongoing correspondence with environmental health - they monitored and fined him £100 - and it still continues. I gave up with environmental…

I have a few clients that now have a lot of lawn moss - if you think it's wet in the UK you should try the West of Ireland ! The problem is that none of them would want the nuclear option of Ferrous sulfate, scarifier, full reseed etc.Does anyone know of a gentler option ? Do any of these alternative moss treatments word - like MoBacter ?
