"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."

Photinia fraseri delivered covered in leaf spot

I recently ordered two full standard form Photinia fraseri 'Red Robin' for a client from a local nursery and when they were delivered to the client they were completely covered in leaf spot.

Van security

Hi EveryoneAny recommendations for van security ? How effective are deadlocks fitted to all points of entry?  How many of us have suffered from "peel and steal"? Could extra locks/ readlocks have prevented this. There seem to be plenty of UK locksmiths that specialise in van security, any recommendations?  Cheers.

Artificial grass issue

Not sure if this is in the right group, and I'm not in the profession just a customer who hasn't had a good experience looking for some advice.I had somw artificial grass laid at the end of summer 2025. Just a few days later there was a heavy storm. A few days later again, I noticed some air pockets and some hard lumps under the grass. The guy that laid the grass said it must be mice, couldn't be anything else as we back onto a farm.Any advice on this please?
