"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."

Animals pulling up turfs

I recently laid a small 30sqm section of turf for a client only for several of the turfs to be pulled up by animals over night. Foxes or fiox cubs the most likely culprit based on the area. Badgers not really seen in the area. Muntjacs are seen, but no signs of prints in the soil.The area had been prepared six weeks prior with no signs of animal distrubance, and there was no sign of foraging under the turfs so my assumption is animals "playing".Reset the turfs and covered the area in hessian I…

Fence post auger

One of my clients has asked me to buy around 2500 daffodil bulbs to plant in one of their wildflower areas!! My back went into spasm as she told me.Thinking laterally...have any of you used a powered auger to drill the holes....I know the ground is going to be a stony nightmare to dig by hand...and at say 6 bulbs per hole I will need to dig over 400 holes 😟😟. So looking for ways of making the process easier and quicker.Thanks.

Does this seem reasonable or a bit high? I am relatively new to  tree work  and find it hard to.know what to charge.   Some seem to think I am ridiculously cheap, others about average.  Having trouble. With costings for this kind of work unlike…
