"Thanks Jim and Billybop.
It sounds like I'll end up getting both the 65 and the 85 in the end.
Will go with the 85 to start and use along side my petrol HS56, with a view to getting the 65 later in the year."

Greasing battery hedge trimmers.
How often and what is the best way to grease the gears on a battery hedgecutter? Or even battery strimmer head. Some cheaper are sealed, unlike the ego or professional stihl ones that the bottom plate comes off. Is a complete body dismantle job?
Read more…Going Electric
I've decided to take the plunge.I currently use an FS131R for strimming and long reach hedge cutting and occasionally for use with a pole pruner.It's a beast of a machine and too powerful for most of the strimming work, but although heavy, eats long grass and tough hedges.I will always want one as part of my kit.However, I've made the decision to invest in a cordless FSA90R.I would go for the FSA130R, were it not for the need to wear a backpack or battery on a belt.The run anc charge times with…

We are thinking of relocating from South Devon to Crewekerne/Chard in Somerset. I run a gardening business here in Devon and I am just wondering what the work like in that area and what prices are being charged. I have run my own business for the last 8 years but been in horticulture for nearly 30 years. Any advice or tips I would be grateful. Cheers.

In light of recent events surrounding Black Lives Matter and issues of racism within our society, I thought it was important to have a short word on the topic.Back in February, I posted a blog post delving into the lack of diversity within the horticulture industry, and the systemic racism that contributes to that lack of diversity. I concentrated more specifically on Juliet Sargeant, who was the first black gardener to win the Chelsea Flower Show in 2016, the first black winner throughout its…
