Hi there,im just looking for suggestions for a cheap and cheerful electric greenhouse heater. An elderly customer has asked me to buy one for his 6x8 greenhouse and as I've never bought one before I'd like your thoughts. It can't be a parafin heater…
"this type of job, I have the kit to deal with the cutting element, not a 5 minute task whatever equipment used, the issue being the sheer volume of waste generated, to the point now that I would only agree to similar reductions if could leave all…"
"Another vote for the GTA26, that said there is a new version out, the GTA40 (ooh, I'm tempted, but it would be a complete luxury). You've got to cost in time for sharpening the chains... or treat them as disposable items, and again cost them in.

"Can't help with battery but we have 4 Echo HCAS236ES-L semi long hedgecutters that will cut stuff larger diameter than a fat finger, are totally reliable and bombproof . Have used on many reductions buy one you will not be unhappy !!"
"Secateurs are a bit like torches, can spend just a few pounds on something that on the face of it does pretty much the same thing as one costing 100's, once you've had a really good one it's hard to drop back to the cheaper option. Amazon has been…"

"Yes not uncommon in my experience either some just don't need a car as a status symbol to display their wealth which is possibly why they can afford to hire a gardener and pay on time ."
