Tim Poulter replied to Andrew Bentley's discussion Finding work

"I initially had a good gardening round where I lived in Sussex and then moved to Essex where I had to start all over again.
I met someone years ago who said to me 'advertising is king' and it is. Putting a couple of ads in the free magazines…"

Neil Darby replied to Ben Huntington's discussion Advice: Fencing down Concrete Steps

"I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole. I am guessing that if you want a fence down the middle there are issues with your neighbour. It would look horrendous as well as totally impractiable, as others have said. Anybody worth their salt should walk…"

Peter sellers replied to Ben Huntington's discussion Advice: Fencing down Concrete Steps

"Agree the steps are not wide enough to put a fence down the middle, how are you going to get anything past of any size with a fence down the middle? Can of worms !"

Andrew Bentley replied to Andrew Bentley's discussion Finding work

"Hi
Thank you for your thoughts and advice!
I'm going to try parish magazines for sure. 😊"

Angela Sharp replied to Andrew Bentley's discussion Finding work

"I have worked for 15 years as a gardener and not long after I first started I put ads in parish magazines in three local areas and also Yell. Now I think Yell is a bit outdated these days, and is also very expensive and didn't produce what I…"

"Privacy perhaps or to prevent a pet from escaping through the neighbours garden .

Jonathan Davidson replied to Ben Huntington's discussion Advice: Fencing down Concrete Steps

"My first question would be WHY!
Why on earth would someone want a fence down the middle of a narrow shared footpath of steps...... it seriously starts to limit what can and cant be moved up and down the steps in the future what with the exitsting…"

Billybop replied to robert pryor's discussion Battery hedgcutter advice

"The higher voltage (after a certain point) doesn't necessarily mean a faster stroke rate. For fine conifer and the like I use a Stihl HSA94T (older version of the HSA130T) which is incredibly fast, in fact I can't even cope with it on the highest of…"

The Wall replied to Ben Huntington's discussion Advice: Fencing down Concrete Steps

"Personally i think you are opening a can of worms, i would hazard a guess that somewhere in the title deeds you can not put a fence down there as both parties are responsable for the up keep of the steps, if you had asked me to quote i would walk…"

Will Roberts replied to Ben Huntington's discussion Advice: Fencing down Concrete Steps

"If the fence has to go on top of the concrete steps I'd put up a continuous post and rail feather edge fence with the posts in holes cut through the concrete. (I hate using metpost supports) You won't need as many post holes as you would using…"

robert pryor replied to robert pryor's discussion Battery hedgcutter advice

"I’m not sure thats the case with all. As I said the stihl petrol is 4.7 kg minus petrol. A lot of battery models I’ve been looking at come in at under 4kg inc battery, also the run times dont look bad if you’ve a 5AH battery. Anyway as Im now only…"

Sam Bainbridge replied to Andrew Bentley's discussion Finding work

"Parish magazine and recommendations are the only way if you expect to be fully booked in a.month think again. It takes time and effort you have to be better than the rest to recommendations or cheaper. I'd go cheaper at the start then as you fill up…"

Ian Harvey replied to Ben Huntington's discussion Advice: Fencing down Concrete Steps

"What is the width of the steps (side to side)? They don't look very wide, and putting a fence in the middle might make the steps unusable for both parties. You could spend a lot of time and money doing this, only to have your neighbour legally…"
