If a client really wants Laurel, i atleast try to push them towards the…"

Neil Darby replied to Duncan Neville's discussion Instant hedging

"Laurel is the worst plant ever, cheap & nasty looking once cut. I try to put everyone off of it, but because it is cheap people go for it & then regret having to get it clipped 3 times a year or more.
Anyway as for a trough of 5ft plants, I don't…"

Sam Bainbridge replied to Tim Bucknall's discussion Moss and algae on hard surfaces

"Depends where in the country you are. I'm in the lake district very wet very dull great for moss growth. I used it on its strongest dilution I did email them and they said themselves it won't last long and would require multiple treatments."

"The £250 p/m is a ball park price from plants supplied in 1m linear troughs... i.e. it is a sales pitch/product by the online hedge suppliers to supply people with no patience and limited knowledge who want an "instant hedge". People are paying that…"

Exactly the same for me - advertising for maintenance with the idea that the construction will follow. Been a slow start but my books are now filling up for march. Think the work is there but a lot more competition from people who don't necessarily know what they're doing! Good luck for next month

Hi Nick, I'm in a similar situation myself. I was self employed for many years until last year when I took a year long contract in Aberdeen (plenty of work still up there because of the oil money) Just about to start being self employed again as of the beginning of next month. How are you finding it, is there much work about? I really concentrate on the construction side of things but have decided to advertise for maintenance as well until I can fill my days solely with construction projects.

Nicky @ GardenImprovements.com November 7, 2009 at 7:45pm

Haha! Not quite...but not far off it! Nice people and plenty of gardens to get tore into! Listen to you anyway - over there in Edin - ladedah - burgh!!
Nicky @ GardenImprovements.com November 7, 2009 at 12:51pm

Haha! I'll guess it was Holyrood for school at least! I used to stay up in Govanhill Street, up in Clarkston now... a wee bit more snoot-side than sooth-side! How'd you end up in Edinburgh?
Nicky @ GardenImprovements.com November 6, 2009 at 6:13pm
