Don't forget to blog

Ljn_2Included on this network, is the facility for all members to blog about topics that are related to their job or business. We don't want spam but members, as they join, will benefit greatly from your experience and of course, if there are any services or products that you offer and you feel the community can benefit, then please let us know. This site is not about moderation but more for development and progress and I am sure, will assist many of you, customers as well as trades in moving business up a level. Because this network is attached to a blog which receives substantial daily traffic, I feel sure the exposure on here will be of added bonus. For example, if a potential customer in Leeds joins and asks details about average charges for garden maintenance in their area, we can help provide the information. What I also want to do, is bridge the gap between trades and the consumer. There are not many sites that offer that kind of approach. Trades only sites get to get a bit clicky and insular but I feel both parties can benefit from having all the resources available. Enjoy the site and do not be shy in asking questions or seeking advice. All the best Phil www.landscapejuice.com

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. "

"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."

"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…"

"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…"

"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…"

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."

"I use the elephant trunk and it works fine even on very heavy hedge trimmers. Not cheap but worth the money if you have a long run of cutting to do."

Lee Davis replied to James's discussion What is average cost for mowing a garden?
"Hmm thank you very much (and others who have commented).  Clearly need to rethink how I do things. I suppose I was trying to be transparent, but now they all trust me and know that I do a good job it's a bit different to when I first started. "

Vic 575 replied to James's discussion What is average cost for mowing a garden?
"As stated above, price per job and definitely not an hourly rate. Any hourly rate is only kept in your own head [and never shared with the client] in order for you to calculate the price for the job.
Price per job is far better for the client. It…"
