What you pay per year for what you get out of it is astonishing, and speaking personally, LJN has helped guide me from a new start up business into 5 years of profitable trading and I don't think I could have done that without access to the forum and the great contributors to it."

Honda HRX476 Oil capacity

I run a Honda HRX476 lawn mower, some 12 years old. It has given very good service and I change the oil every season, however there is one thing that always confuses me. The manual says the oil capacity after draining is 550mL. I can only drain out 250mL of old oil and insert just 250mL of new. So what's that all about.I've tried both tipping the mower on it's side for draining and also using a tube suction pump. Doesn't matter which method I use, there's just 250mL in there. I measure the oil…

Rushes

Can anyone suggest best treatment to kill off rushes, as per photo, from a lawn. I know that the main issue is drainage and poor soil, since this area was previously woodland which the householder paid somebody a load of money to convert to lawn. They didn't put in sufficient drainage, it regularly floods from a neighbouring area, and the soil is very poor. Owner not willing to fix these issues, but I would like to kill off these rushes. Do normal lawn weed killers work well on rush? Any other…

Morally - What would you do?

We have a few long standing elderly/vulnerable customers who have no close relatives and apart from their garden maintenance we act as a confidant and social service.Due to our ever increasing commercial commitments it is becoming increasingly difficult and financially unrealistic to carry on, we are not charging a proper rate due to their circumstances. But it's really more about the time involved.We don't want to cut and run and have made enquiries within the trade to try and find someone…

How long should you use a strimmer for daily?

Hi AllI’ve just joined LJN and thought someone may be able to help with the following question.I work part time 3 days a week doing ground maintenance for a theme park.This year I've been doing more strimming than usual, especially early on this year when it was really wet and the ride on mower kept getting stuck. Many areas of grass had to be strimmed meaning weeks of nothing but using the strimmer all day.Does anyone know if there are guidelines as to how many hours you should use a 2 stroke…
