“Gardening programmes tend to be very ‘traditional’ white middle-class in their attitude towards gardening”, Julia Sargeant said in an interview after she won gold at Chelsea Flower Show in 2016. She was the first black gardener to design…
Studies report that burglary is one of the most emotionally impactful crimes to be a victim of. The prevention of being succumbed to it is always at the back of our minds – is anything on show? Are all the windows closed? Did you definitely lock…

"Exactly, you are running them flat working at a clients so charge them there. No need for the unnecessary expense "
"I charge at customers on a Stihl fast charger if they have an outside socket but also have multiple batteries as well when I haven't got access to power."

"I charge on site if need be, or at home first, depending on how long I am at the job, which are mostly half days. I only spend 15 minutes max dringing to/from home so no way I could charge in the van even if I wanted to go down that route. Most…"

"While I agree yes that would be ideal, what's that going to cost, anywhere from £1000-£2000? How is that going to get them out of this pickle, I very much doubt the customer would go for that. The rear tine rotavator is the answer, I have done a new…"
