"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."

"Big time second that Dan. To me that would be outrageous!"
"Etesia Pro46 (new shape) or Pro53. Wet collection is near faultless and mulching is second to none. The Etesias are robust and last for many seasons."
"Etesia and Viking with the plastic boxes instead of grass bags are the best collectors in the wet by far. Etesia are pricey though. Viking are cheaper but not as robust as the Etesia. Best of luck"
"There's also the fact that there should not be stones on the grass and that is the client's responsibility.

"I have been in this situation as a subbie and the contracor and myself went halves but if it is an employee the employer is responsible for his actions and if he was working to the employers instruction and its an accident should bear the cost."

Pesticide ban in Brighton
https://www.theargus.co.uk/news/17596269.four-major-parties-support-ban-on-toxic-pesticides-in-brighton/ How is this legal or even possible for a council to ban something that is sold in garden centres and used on farms and food production? It's so frustrating that the hysteria around gylphostate is being used as a political band wagon. Talk about throwing the baby out with the bath water with little or no understanding of the issues.

Read more…Employee breaks a window strimming-who pays?
I've recently come across this dilemma and wondered what people do. An employee broke a window strimming, whilst following instructions to work in an anti-clockwise direction and keep revs low (ie. it was an accident). The employer has said that the employee must pay, rather than claim on his PL insurance, and it is going to cost around £400. Any comments on what is 'usual practice' greatfully received. This is not me- I am self employed but worked for a contractor for 10 years- but just…

Hi, I hope you are all well. I am wanting to plant some pleached trees with their base at the same height as the top of my fence (neighbours fence) but her fence is below the level of my garden, which thus falls at a slope down to the concrete gravel board quite steeply (about 45 degrees) within 300mm of the fence. Our garden also has a slight slope from left to right as well, but her fence is level until the last 5 panels, which are stepped in 2 places. Please see photos attached. My questions…
