Corded tools
Hi there, first post on here for me. Been lurking for a while always seeming to end up here when googling so had to sign up! I've recently set up my new gardening business maintaining small domestic gardens. I already have a mix of Stihl petrol tools on Aspen. I am however needing a few more tools and wanted to push being green and eco which works with my ethos. On searching through the Stihl and Husky catalogues I see they do a few several corded "pro" models corded of hedgetrimmer (Hse81)…

Self propelled mower recommendations please
Evening Juicers!I need to get a self propelled mower as I have several clients with very large gardens. One takes 4 hours to do and she insists on diamond patterning too! Ive got around 350 -400 in terms of budget. Im 6ft 2inch high so I need something which isnt gonna do my back in and also has a wide cutting width. I dont need side discharge or electric start just a solid machine.Anybody have any recomendations at all.Thanks all.Tom.
Read more…Kubota or Iseki?
We're looking a for a new cut-and-collect ride-on mower which can cope with lawns of a few thousand m2 and in particular, will cope in the wet. I thought I'd settled on a Kubota G23-II with high-dump: but I've heard good reviews of the Iseki SXG323. Does anyone have experience of either machine?
Read more…Contracts and pricing
Hi all. I’ve got a couple of queries that I’m hoping you can share your wisdom on.I’m sure the answers to these are in the bog somewhere but I can’t subscribe this month as it’s been rather an expensive one for one reason or another. So I will join you all there in August!Firstly, I want to put my maintenance on 12 month contracts - how should I word the agreement so that cheekier customers don’t just use it to get a cheaper rate through summer then cancel the standing order come…
Read more…Cut flowers.
Morning all hope everyone is staying safe in these intesting times we find our selves in. I have a question about cut flowers...I've been considering growing on a small scale flowers specifically for cutting, I think that due to the up surge of people looking to buy locally that there is a gap in the market for this type of product. So my question is what are the legal responsibility required when growing and selling a product such as cut flowers I've read a little about plant passports…
Read more…Safe chemical application and aftercare
Good morning,Hopefully someone may be able to help me.I don't know if anyone else has experienced this but we have found it to be more of a issue during lockdown. I look after properties where I apply a selective to the lawns, fertilse them infrequently and herbicide treat hard surfaces for weed control. All of that is fairly standard but where I am getting some feedback is when the signage is removed to declare the grass "safe". It isn't uncomon for chemicals to be blamed for everything under…
Read more…Compost teas and DIY liquid bio fertilizers in lawn care
Does anyone make their own compost teas and liquid bio fertilzers for the use in lawn care and / or plant care ? Seems to be a growing area with a lot more suppliers offering a wide range of products you 'brew up' and then apply to help soil heath either bacterially or fungally not to mention natural NPKs and minerals.I know the concepts have been around for ages but does anyone have experience of either using supplier certified compost teas etc or just making their own ? Any sites or books on…
