Can any Landscape Juice member help?

I have received a letter from Teresa who has a friend afflicted by Multiple Sclerosis and she would dearly love to help her improve the quality of her life. Fiona Lives in Shoeburyness, Essex. If there are any members who are able to help out I would pass your details on to Teresa who has promised that whoever helps, will involve the local newspaper. I of course would support any member with the publicity in any way I can. Dear Philip Following our conversation earlier in the week, I have now attached some photographs of Fiona's garden. 13ft 4 inches wide and 38ft length. I used to work with Fiona 6 years ago when she became very ill and was diagnosed with MS after many tests were carried out. This seemed to come on very quickly which resulted in her going from leg callipers and crutches into a wheelchair. Last year she was diagnosed with Systempic Lupus which attack's the immune system and at present she is pretty much bed bound apart from being able to get out of bed into her wheelchair and sit on her back step at the top of her disabled slope. As the pictures show, there is a coal bunker at the bottom of the slope and the earth to the side stops her from going down the slope and into her small garden. If only the coal bunker could be removed and the garden decked or concreted, she would be able to get out in the fresh air which would be so wonderful for her. Fiona is only 48yrs old her quality of life is non-existent which is causing her to become extremely depressed and I feel she needs something to motivate her, having a makeover on her garden and being able to get outside at least maybe plant some pots etc would I'm sure give her a new lease of life, her last little garden was wheelchair friendly which encouraged her to be out there keeping busy. Unfortunately she had to move from there as the access getting into and out of the flat was up and down many steps. Well, hopefully this gives you an insight into what I am trying to achieve for my poorly friend. Kind regards Teresa Harrington

"I haven't use liquid iron but do use soluble iron sulphate, takes a wee bit more mixing as it's a powder but I find it goes further and is cheaper than the liquid, I get mine from agrigem."

Groundleader replied to Peter sellers's discussion Retirement advice
"This is definitely NOT my field of expertise, but I'd guess what most buyers might be interested in, could include:
1)  What's the realistic market value of your "hard" assets (vehicles, machinery, tools, materials etc).
2)  For the "goodwill" part…"

Sam Bainbridge replied to Dougie's discussion Looking for a new roller machine
"Buy an old Honda roller mower, the new ones break in 18 months and cost you £500 that is then repeated every 12 months.
Either a honda or others the same which actually came out of the same factory with different names, sharp, lawnflite, kaaz, all…"

"Can you change the direction of mowing? Always using a roller mower in the same pattern can cause this.

"Try using a Turf Teq Power Rake to smooth it out. It will mill off the high spots and work the spoil into the low bits."
