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. . "

Jake replied to James King's discussion Weibang 53 SSD or Weibang 53 ASD BBC or Honda HRX 537?

"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. "

Peter sellers replied to James King's discussion Weibang 53 SSD or Weibang 53 ASD BBC or Honda HRX 537?

"James. For what it's worth, we had 2 Etesias a few years ago but despite the fantastic wet collection the material that the wheels are made from along with the wheel design we got rid as they cut the turf up badly along with terrible tramlines,…"

M Olsson replied to James King's discussion Weibang 53 SSD or Weibang 53 ASD BBC or Honda HRX 537?

"In my experience, honda bags really well but it does get super heavy very quickly - so changing bag regularly is a must not to make scratches at level 6 and deeper groves at level 7 (lol). Just make sure you clear the chute properly when emptying…"

Instant hedging

A customer of mine is interested in instant hedging - his is a new build on a prestigious estate. He wants a 5ft laurel hedge, immediately. Length could be 18m or 44m, depending on costing, at £250 per metre unit this is a sizeable project. I've…

James replied to James King's discussion Weibang 53 SSD or Weibang 53 ASD BBC or Honda HRX 537?

"Yes I found that the honda bagged well, no issues there as long as its not soaking wet grass but this is the same with most mowers.
I'm afraid it is beyond economic repair. About £500-£600 for a new transmission, so I will be looking at a new mower…"

James King replied to James King's discussion Weibang 53 SSD or Weibang 53 ASD BBC or Honda HRX 537?

"Thanks for your comments, James. Despite the issue with the Honda, interesting that you would go for another one. I have a small Weibang and the bag really does get packed. Would you say the same of the Honda? The Honda has a much larger bag and if…"

Hi Graham

The show runs from 12-27 June 2010 and then there is a second show at the end of August. Some artists leave their work in situ until the end of the season as the gardens are well supported. If you have an email address where I can send an attachment I will send you the invitation that I send out to artists which hopefully provides full details

Regards
John
