"An open association like LJN is just a remarkable place. What you pay per year for what you get out of it is astonishing, and speaking personally, LJN has helped guide me from a new start up business into 5 years of profitable trading and I don't think I could have done that without access to the forum and the great contributors to it."

Lawn Water Conserver

A question for those offering lawn treatments. Does anyone use a specific product, separate to their normal treatments, that's specifically used when we have long, dry periods? Can anyone recommend a good product? I imagine it would likely be a liquid application. Would like to add it to our treatment programme for this year if we can find something suitable. Many thanks.

Hi all,I'm looking for a bit of advice really if anyone has any thoughts. I'm a mum to a young toddler so work part time and fit hours into nursery runs so for me it works well to have set regular hours at customers' gardens. Eg x2/3 hours a fortnight. The driving in between is a pain but okay and I enjoy my job. BUT, I charge £26 per hour and by the time I've taken off 35% to cover tools, PPE, holidays, weather, illness, insurance etc, and then 15% for a private pension I'm left on almost…
