"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."

Honda HF2417 - Advice

Looking for some advice Brought a Honda HF2417 from a local mower dealer about 12 months ago, brand new and has been serviced recently I went in with absolutely no knowledge or idea on any machinery or sit ons.

Strimmer question

Good morning all. I've always used strimmers that spin anti clockwise, just been looking at purchasing a ego strimmer for whizzing around lawn edges and I've seen that they spin clockwise. Have any of you used both and found that it was easy to get used to or really struggled with it? After 20 odd years I don't want to shell out for a machine that I struggle to use! Regards, Martin.

Green tip off in Surrey?

Hi all, the green waste site I have been using near Epsom has apparentley closed down, at least until December, due to the death of the owner. Mid Surrey Farm. Does anyone know of any sites around Surrey which take green waste- Hedge trimmings & grass. I only have a small trailer & usually just under 500Kg a load, which was £45.00 to tip. A tree surgeon told me of a site near Crawley but thats 30 minutes each way! Thanks guys

Have a manual long handled bulb planter but its bloody hard work working in rock hard soil that has not seen a fork or spade for years. So looked at the augers that fit in a cordless drill or the differing types of long handled planters - be grateful…
