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…

"Julian. We used magnetics some years ago, eventually they blistered the paintwork and would blow off when travelling in high winds. And yes they advertise that your vehicle holds items worth stealing. Never had any leads from when we used them ,…"

Hi AllWhat are member's experiences of magnetic signage gor vans. I appreciate that the name and nature of the business will be free advertising but the flip side of this is advertising a cache of gardening tools available to plunder. Will this…
"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!"
"Thanks Peter, I did notice there was no forward speed on the specs!"

"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?"
Redexim is pleased to announce the launch of the Turf-Tidy 5000. The Turf-Tidy 5000 is meant for cutting and collecting over large areas.Big capacity means big results. It holds up to 5,000 litres and features a dust-suppression-cover, a…

Thanks for posting this. It is remiss of me because I pointed this out on Landscape juice on Friday and I should have added it here too.
Shoot Gardening to hold landscaping and design forum on-line
Kind regards

I have to say (and I am trying to be constructive) that this forum need not have been live. It did not really give the feeling as being 'instant' but I liked the fact that it was fresh as in 'happening now'.
Maybe (and I will convey this to Nicola) it better to have cut and pasted the questions and the answers into a live IM Skype chat one at a time and then allowed five minutes for the question and answer to been digested.
This would have given the team time for preparation (because it is not always easy to answer questions in a quick fire format) but also time for those in attendance to ask smaller related questions to the topic before moving onto the next question.
A good start anyway and I like the fact that Jason Lock and his team were prepared to contribute some of their experience and knowledge.
Did you attend - what did you think?
