"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."

Suggestions to tidy up our crumbling garden walls

Our patio retaining walls (about 10 years old) are crumbling, pics attached. I believe it’s a combination of frost damage (they’re not frost proof bricks) plus water seepage through the patio, which is moulded cement slabs over type 2. The patio is fairly large, around 100sqM, and total retaining wall area is around 30 sqM, height varies from less than 30cm to 1.3M.  What’s the best way to improve this at sensible cost - silicone rendering, or some kind of cladding?  I'm also planning to drill…

Ego pro hedge cutter.

Hi, I need to buy a new long reach hedge cutter as my petrol echo died at the end of last year, so I'm thinking it's probably the right opportunity to go battery powered. I'm leaning towards the ego pro htx5300 pa because my local trusted dealer sells them, and I already have a ego chainsaw with two batteries. Just wondered if any of you have any experience of them, good or bad. Kind regards, Martin.

Advice: Fencing down Concrete Steps

Hi all,Basically, the centre of the concrete steps in the boundary line. I want to put up fencing that runs down the length of these steps and I've been quoted by two landscapers...Landscaper #1He suggested that he would cut aquares of the concrete steps to put the fence post in (and refil with concrete), and apparently using brackets could cause the steps to move over time? Landscaper #2He said to use brackets as there's alot more work (and cost) involved in cutting through the concrete, and…

Small, compact battery strimmer with variable speed trigger?

I am looking for a small, compact, lightweight strimmer that is battery powered for small garden edging - I already have a Stihl FSA60R but its just a bit to powerful and unweldy for some of the smaller, finnicky edging. The strimmer MUST have variable speed trigger (this is where my biggest problem in finding one is) so I can slow it right down when near windows etc. It must have batteries that are replaceable (not inbuilt). 1.6mm or maximum 2.0mm line diameter I dont care if its a cheapie non…

Lawn Water Conserver

A question for those offering lawn treatments. Does anyone use a specific product, separate to their normal treatments, that's specifically used when we have long, dry periods? Can anyone recommend a good product? I imagine it would likely be a liquid application. Would like to add it to our treatment programme for this year if we can find something suitable. Many thanks.
