Jake Piechowicz replied to A. Latta's discussion Driveway weedkiller recommendations

"That's good to know, all weed killer seems expensive but if you look at the sqm coverage you can quickly work out if it's good value or not."

PGM replied to A. Latta's discussion Driveway weedkiller recommendations

"We use it on all hard areas, gravel, driveways, along the base of walls etc. Kills the weeds present and really reduces how many then grow the rest of the season. We find that you need to wait for the weather to warm up before using it as it doesn't…"

"I've found that once a month treatment of glyphosate is more than sufficient for most places. is chikara/ pistol suitable for gravel? I thought it was only for railway ballast or am I being daft?"

PGM replied to A. Latta's discussion Driveway weedkiller recommendations

"We also use Pistol on our hard surfaces. 30ml per litre seems to kill pretty much everything and then keeps the weeds down afterwards too as it's residual. "

Graham Taylor replied to A. Latta's discussion Driveway weedkiller recommendations

"Chilra or Pistol are great.................. one application now will keep it completely clear for the year. Its not cheap but its good... you're looking at £150 roughly........ but its highly diluted in use so once you've bought it, you'll have…"

"Just had a look and it’s only the name that has changed slightly, from ‘Lift’ to ‘Lifting’.
It is also over £100 cheaper than mine was all those years ago. A genuine bargain.
Buy one now."

Vic 575 replied to Kris Baker's discussion Hedge trimmer harness

"The Easy Lifting Harness you picture is pretty much exactly the same as mine, only with two gas struts as opposed to one. The double gas strut variant was available when I got mine but the single gas strut version was more than capable weight wise…"

"Thanks Vic, Yes, definitely been swayed by your previous review. I wonder if the V3 Elephant and the new Henchman have narrowed the gap.
I could import from USA ... but I want one "tomorrow" - I'm well past retirement age and have found manhandling…"

Kris Baker replied to Kris Baker's discussion Hedge trimmer harness

"Thanks. I have done a bit more research.
Can't seem to find the Easy Lift - their website lists 3 dealers in EU, one dead links and for the other two I can't find the product on their website. Doesn't bode well ... and seems that Henchman have given…"

Vic 575 replied to Kris Baker's discussion Hedge trimmer harness

"Hi Kris,
No doubt you will have seen my previous contributions extolling the virtues of the Easy Lift Harness. I’ve had mine for many years now [10 to 15 years maybe]. Quite simply it is a life changing device. Why every professional Gardener does…"

Driveway weedkiller recommendations

Hi all, does anyone have advice (product recommendations) on how to keep large parking areas (gravel and or block paving areas) free of weeds without spending a small fortune on 'path clear' and suchlike?Thank you in advance

Ben Carter replied to James's discussion What is average cost for mowing a garden?

"Hi lee.
As others have said price per job and hourly rate in your head. You have to bear in mind equipment loading, travelling and equipment servicing which clients don't see.
£25 is not unreasonable."
