"Thanks Peter, thats a great help, and luckily I can get a digger to ths site! "

Sean Clarke replied to Tim Bucknall's discussion Moss and algae on hard surfaces

"Acetic acid works brilliantly, even in the colder weather (as long as it's dry). Get some 30% stuff of eBay, don't bother with Algon - it's very expensive."

Graham Taylor replied to Duncan Neville's discussion Instant hedging

"Really wouldn't bother with "trough grown" plants + I doubt you'll get 5' ones in a trough that you could even lift plus a nightmare to plant. Just buy individual plants. Laurels are also very quick to establish and grow so even if you buy them…"

Peter sellers replied to Duncan Neville's discussion Instant hedging

"Can't see due to size limitations of a trough that they can be instant?"

Duncan Neville replied to Duncan Neville's discussion Instant hedging

"Thanks for your comments, just to clarify, it's the instant hedges I'm asking about here, these are trough grown plants, often 3 plants in 1m long units. "

"We use and sell Canycom bruch cutters. These can also be fitted with a mulch blade for a finer finish. Made in Japan, shaft driven so full power reaches the blades. Also have a tool-less blade change, with the blades being made from folded steel…"

Peter sellers replied to Duncan Neville's discussion Instant hedging

"We planted 2mt plus Laurels on a 30 mt run, they were massive plants in 60 lt pots and a 2 man lift. From memory as it was a few years ago we planted them touching which was approx 1 per metre, they needed a very large deep hole to accomodate the…"

Graham Taylor replied to Duncan Neville's discussion Instant hedging

"£250 per metre?? That can't be right. Laurels are really cheap hedging plants..... there's a place near me that sells 4' ones for about £15 and 2 per metre should be fine though 3 would fill in quicker. . "

"My Honda 537 has just done its first season, it's so light and fast! My gearbox was broken from the factory so was replaced after only a week or so. When they make so many million mowers always going to have a few lemons. Never had a problem since…"

Graham Taylor replied to Tim Bucknall's discussion Moss and algae on hard surfaces

"I'm guessing you had the dose wrong with mmc-pro I've used it before to have success with it and hardsurfaces stayed clear for months......... in fact I sprayed mossy fence with it 9 years ago and its still completely clear. "

Hi Chris

Thank you for all of your efforts helping to build the show and for putting on a magnificent display.

I've had good feedback from Trevor, Dave, Dan and Chris and it would be good to catch up when you've returned and you are refreshed from your break.

Kind regards

Thanks Naman, we take our social and ethical responsibilities very seriously at Marshalls and have worked very closely with our suplier in KOta over a number of years to ensure that No Child Labour is used, Living Wages are Paid and that effective Health and Safety proactices are in place in the production of our products.

I am noit saying this is not the case with youre company but that we have a detailed understanding of our supply chain with our current partner.

We also fund Hadoti a local NGO to run schools and medical centres in the areas we source materials from.

So for now I am happy to stay with my current Supply Partner in India.

Thanks

Chris
