Anvil / Deflector nozzle - Berthoud sprayer
I've recently bought the Berthoud Vermorel. I did a test run on concrete using the anvil nozzle (blue) and the spray appears quite stripey on the ground. There appears to be more liquid on each edge and up the middle, basically 3 thick lines (hope this makes sense).It fills out after going over the area twice but obviously that's still an uneven spread. Is this normal? I'm holding the lance just below a foot off the ground to cover a meters width. Can anyone advise? Or suggest a nozzle more…

Mossy lawns
Just took on a new customer and their lawn is absolutely terrible........... so much moss that I'm not even sure there's any grass there! Anyway, they want me to scarify the moss out... thats no problem but I've pointed out that it will look awful afterwards. Really don't want to spend a lot of time or expense on this one... in fact I wish I'd not taken it on lol. Now I'm no lawn expert......... in an ideal world, I'd just say to rip up the lot and returf it but they don't want the expense…

Hand held pressure sprayers
A few years ago I had some that lasted and lasted. The last 3 years the pump valves have failed in a year. Last year's were an expensive one from Screwfix... they now vomit herbicide onto the handle , or spurt it out of the top of the pump randomly. Does anyone have a make that lasts nowadays? I know I (and will be) taking the Screwfix ones back for a refund... But I'd just like some that last. I looked at Hozelock this morning but theres appear to be only 1 litre...which is a bit on the small…

Does moss always = full renovation
Hi.Does a mossey lawn always equal a full lawn renovation? Once you kill (or control) moss the customer is left with brown / black dead moss all over their lawn. So then its needs scarifying to rake it up, then usually a preseed fert, seed and top soil / compost covering. So a relatively cheap and easy moss control turns in to a full renovation. With the time and cost that entails. With about 80% of the lawns ive seen so far this year they all seem to have some level of moss.Does anyone…

Tripod ladder user? Your advice sought please!
How do you get on using a tripod ladder taller than the hedge you're cutting? Are photos using them like this practical?I cut a variety of heights and only want to buy one new ladder to rule them all. I currently use a folding combination ladder with stabilizers which is good for soft ground to stand 1 m up, and a Henchman 4 legged fully adjustable platform to stand up to 2.2 m. The platform is really flexible with different surfaces and slopes, and gives me a big stable place to stand and…
