"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."

"I always go from left to right..... Reckon it's to do with being left-handed. As Dave says, use a D handled strimmer...... I find no harness at all is best. Everyone's different though"
"When broken down, a large job is only a number of smaller jobs put together and if you feel you want to have a crack, then that is how I would approach this project. Roughly prep the whole area and order the turf in 'bite-sized' deliveries if you ca…"

"If he charged £60 a day he could afford his own extension lead after a couple of days, sky’s the limit then."
"Everyone has their own technique that they hone over the years, personally I like to strim from right to left with the strimmer head angle at about 30* on the 9o’clock/3o’clock plane. Longer, rougher grass I’m not so fussy about, just need to concen…"
"Light on the dash, what are these luxuries you speak of? Even if there was a light it probably wouldn’t work, it’s a Land Rover!"

"It’s a genius system, it even lets you know when you’re out of oil when it stops dripping on the driveway."
