"An open association like LJN is just a remarkable place. 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."

Toro or Stihl Scarifier

I've had a read through various forums and through the archives here and there's plenty of talk about the Stihl scarifiers but not much on Toro. Most of my local dealers seem to stock Toro and I spoke with one this morning who said they've sold well and had no negative comebacks, so according to him, they're being used widely but I can't see any feedback/reviews on them online. Has anyone got experience of both machines?

Rumble strips in lawn!

Difficult one to describe. We've got a couple of lawns that we've taken over and both (unrelated locations) have got an almost rumble strip feel to certain sections. Absolutely paralell lines in a relatively large area. I'm ensured that the only machinary that has been over it is Hayter lawn mowers. The "rumble strips" (That's what they feel like when you go over them) are spaced about 3-4 inches apart and and about 3-4 inches wide....Anyone come across this before? Is it a natural phenomenon?…

Selective lawn herbicides and composting clippings

A customer wants a weed treatment on their lawn but they also like to compost the clippings after each mow. The product I use states not safe for composting (Praxys). I can't spot spray as there are a lot of bittercress hidden within the grass. Will a good feed and frequent mowing eventually flush out the weeds?
