A RECENT study from the US shows that so-called Baby Boomers, those born between 1946 and 1964, are increasingly using the internet and social networking tools such as blogs, Facebook and video sharing sites. Steve Rubel (who is worth reading if you are interested in all things digital) highlights a study by consultancy firm Accenture that shows more and more older people are using the internet; it is not just a young person's plaything. I feel this is important as people are increasingly comfortable with starting their searches online for businesses and services, but also will be more willing to pass on helpful tips to their friends who share these same internet destinations. The effectiveness of a simple link to an interesting article someone has written, or photographs of a project that has recently been completed, can not be overstated. A single link can be placed in front of thousands of people by someone who is seen as a trusted friend and an independent source, offering the potential for long term benefits. The tools that are available on the network can allow you to create web pages quickly and effectively that others are able to link to. It just requires you to turn up two or three times a week to write a piece, upload some photographs and be part of this online world, start here for tips on using the network.

Thought I'd sign up to this forum. And I hope I'm allowed to post stuff for sale on here as this will be a one off? I have for sale a tiny pro robot, it's not the new edition but it's the bigger one of the two. If anyone is interested then please…

"NFU are very exensive but are very good when it comes to making a claim apparently... but hopefully never have to. I was looking for a combined policy to cover all insurances but according to my broker there isnt one so I end up paying a broker fee…"

"Agree with you Graham, we have a client with a long run of Laurel which we only cut once a year mid june and have done for over 20 years, the client is fussy with a capital F ! It's a superb evergreen hedge which is bomb proof.
As to this so called…"

"Disagree there!  I maintain a site with a couple of of large laurel hedges and one cut in July suffices and keeps it looking nice.  Agree.... looks nasty immediately after cutting but quickly perks up so you don't notice the cut leaves.  Pretty much…"

"That's pretty much my thinking, but I am seeing them more and more. Mostly at expensive new builds. Mostly people with very limited gardening experience wanting an immediate finished product. "

"Yes 5' actual instant shaped hedging is very expensive, but if that's what he wants he'll have to pay for it.  A good compromise is use individual plants- you could use 1.5m, but 1.8 or 2m plants would probably be bushier, and by trimming to height…"

"Agree, nothing worse than driving past a new Cherry Laurel hedge planted too close to boundaries or buildings, and thinking they'll regret that decision in a few years time!
If a client really wants Laurel, i atleast try to push them towards the…"
