"That surprises me. Do you not continue through the season? Surely you'll only get a few week protection at best from each application?"

Adam Woods replied to Gary R's discussion Horticultural Gypsum..... How long?

"Sticking in a late reply here... but, and it depends totally on this.... how big is the lawn? and how established is the garden? + of course how much is the client willing to pay/put up with to get a solution??? In new estate houses locally (built…"

Billybop replied to Jamie's discussion Stihl BG86c problems

"Absolutely nothing wrong with that Graham if you enjoy it... like these people who restore WW2 aircraft and old steam engines etc ... I wish I had the patience to do it ! I have to be in the right frame of mind to repair things, and it can be very…"

Vic 575 replied to Jamie's discussion Stihl BG86c problems

"I got a manual one from amazon of all places - was about £150 but it actually works, unlike the £40 ones. I'd recommend it on a small area."

Tim Turner replied to Gary R's discussion Horticultural Gypsum..... How long?

"I've never used it I'm afraid but I'd be very interested to know how you get on with it. Where did you get the idea to use humic acid and seaweed extract? How will you apply the gypsum? (I thought it had to be incorporated in to the soil to be…"
