The Silent Witness that will never talk

You may have been forced to stay in this weekend as the rough weather takes it's toll and causes many plans to change. I have written quite a few posts that many of Landscape Juice readers would have missed because the stores were posted before they found the site. Here is one which might be of interest and stimulate a little bit of thought about what goes on in gardens where nobody is the witness except the perpetrator or the garden itself.

  • Gardens are the obvious place to put a murder victim. Patios, concrete and deep graves.

    I would like to dwell on the secret assignations between lovers. Soft grass, bird song and early morning dew.....
  • What about the garden as a witness to history? Time Team have made a career out of digging up peoples' gardens, although most of them are on quite a different scale from those of the average LJN member (at least mine anyway!).
  • Oh, and by the way, I'm thinking of asking for a wetsuit for Christmas after the summer we've just had...
  • PRO
    Doesn't it conjure up a lot of thoughts?

    I do love Time Team too and I can think of lots of gardens that I have worked in or visited over the years where I would like to discover the history.
  • Hohum, I hope this generation isn't remembered as the one that paved over all the front gardens in the UK.
  • The worst crime that a garden can witness is 'fashionable' planting schemes... I'm thinking mini conifers underplanted with heathers maybe?

"Thanks Adam, an interesting counter-argument! 2 questions- 1) is this just the throttle-stop screw, and 2) are they then very noisy?  We do seem to have some very noise-averse customers!"

"I was tempted by the Weibang, but horrified by the weight!  Having seen Adam's comments, I'm tempted to look at the Cobra RM48SPH (this is mostly doing small-medium gardens).  What are other people's thoughts re this mower, or Cobra in general?"

"We had a Weibang for 3 years and had no issues with it, but it was just so heavy. Plus, if you have a 4 wheeler for the wet then you don't need to worry about wet collection with your roller mower. That's why we have the Hayter, we think they're…"
