Dave Colton replied to Peter sellers's discussion Bahco tools vs Chinese?

"But the shoe analogy doesn't work as when the tool that you using lets down when you need it then most when used in the field to fix something to get job finished and your cheap socket shatters or the gap in the spanner has loads of slop in it."

Stihl Motomix fuel

I've always been sceptical about using this fuel as I just reckoned it a waste of money at 3x the price at the pumps. Anyway, read you can leave it in machines for years with no problem and having some tools that just get used once a year at the…

Graham Taylor replied to Adam Woods's discussion This works well

"I always find it best to strim off moss where its significantly above the surface and then spray the area. I uses BAC50 from Trade Chemicals https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/232214948482?_skw=bac+50&itmmeta=01J... I get a 25 litre container…"

"Out of interest what are you spraying to get rid of the moss, how many times a year do you apply and do you find you still need manual removal or are the chemicals good enough?

Hi Kimberley,

Thanks for the welcome. This site looks like a Godsend! Started my gardening business part time two years and going full time this year following redundancy. The advice here is invaluable and look forward to making a few posts soon.

Cheers

Hello Kimberley

Thanks for your reply. Interesting... I thought I was the one who had been keeping a low profile for too long! I have always, and indeed still do, have more than enough work via word of mouth, however, recent changes have suggested to me that a change is a foot and a new appraisal is required perhaps you could talk me through some of the broad pointers of your industry?

Regards Andrew

Hello Kimberley I guess I was blinkered to the fact that PR plays a important role in horticulture, having been only marginally involved on the commercial side I imagine I have blissfully been working away for over 30 years in amenity and teaching to perhaps now see the benefits of this. All my work has really been word of mouth but having just joined the site and discovered old friends I can perhaps now see the 'light'.

Regards Andrew
