The wider spray ones sound like they could be good. I’ll order some and give them a go. "

"Nozzles have to be matched to your machine output, plus slightly wider ones tend to work better than very narrow ones, although they won't clean the joints quite as deeply. "
"Why would the whirlaway come with wrong nozzles? Surely the ones that came with it are the right ones?
could I have put them on wrong? "

"Figure out the nozzles, and call a supplier such as Rutland Pumps to order the right ones. "

"You may have the wrong nozzles fitted... what's the water output of the pump? Did it all come as a package?"

Hedges/Shrubs against walls
A question... do any of you have to maintain a hedge against the wall of a building with a gap (the suggested is 10cms) between the wall and the shrub/hedge? - These shrubs/hedges go all round the building, creating the gap is one thing, maintaining it year on year is quite another - also it being a local authority building the rubbish we find on site rivals anything you would find clearing the verges of a main road - creating a litter store behind the hedges will increase that problem 10 fold.…

Hi Guys,I have been cutting domestically now for about 6 years I'm based in northern ireland but been thinking of buying another ride on mower.I was wondering what the thoughts are on zero turn mulching mowers and whether there is more established grass cutting firms that use mulching mowers to cut domestic gardens on a fortnightly basis? Whether this is possible? I tend to think it may not be as growth rate might be too great for this type of mower.Also been looking around at kubota high tip…
