"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…"
"Tiller or rotavator, it still the same mud.
Ten ton of the council soil improver from the household recycling mixed in with it would help, don't call it compost because it's not.
Edit- looking at the photo again, make it at least twenty tons."

"Sorry Peter I have to go the distance. I own a tiller it will cut a foot, its bloody hard work and slow. I bet above is at least six passes. Large areas like that I'd hire a cannon. 3/4 passes it would cut to a foot and leave a fine tilth rather…"

"Sorry to be blunt but we have cultivated many acres with what you describe as a tiller over the last 40 years without the need to hire a rear tine rotovator, it's unfair to criticise someone elses work without knowing the circumstances and not what…"
"Sorry to be blunt. But my bugbear is people referring to pathetic tillers as rotavators. "
"Sorry but a Stihl mh585 is a tiller not a rotavator. Something I would use at the allotment not on a professional job. Something like a Barretto 13hp you can hire for £100 a day is a proper rotavator and will go deeper and turn all those clumps to…"

Hi people,Last year I bought several pieces of equipment including a TF 325 tiller. It's been built but never used, infact- I haven't even put oil or petrol in it, nor have I started it. It's been sitting in my shed since September last year. If…

Charging Stihl tools from the van
So I'm doing some light domestic work using mostly Stihl AK powered gardening tools, I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a way to charge them up between jobs whilst driving between jobs. There's probably a very obvious way of doing it but I've…

each bale can make 65-80 litre volume.
to make this 5 kg bale into 65 litre you just soak with water, If you repeat the process of adding water and ''playing'' with it you will get 80 litre.
As a trade you get a good discount - and so a pallet with 30.00 will be less than £200.00 inc delivery (trade price)
important to say it is Organic- so cost a bit more- Later on may have a version with 'osmocote' inside too.
like all my products- best to contact and get your trade price. Has anyone in the uk use it?
£3.5 for 9 litre brick + delivery.
It has other benefits than just free compost that you are very welcome to read about on my website coir compost .
For example can you walk with 240 litre of compost?
not a problem to walk with 3 bales 5kg each.- will you get better results?
As I said I used it many times - getting huge plants in fairly small containers.
for anything you need to see what you are paying for, Nick.
there are few mail order firms that sell eco coir bales for much more than that even £19,99 a bale.
as much as I sell more I find that many people happy to pay more for quality- in fact in many times it helps selling.
If you do calculation for you contact me to get trade price for quality product. Sure when you think about big quantity when costs of delivery are saved.
just google organic free peat compost and you will see that prices are much higher.
I can understand your question as I asked the same one and found that as it is certificated as organic - it worth/cost more- for me I decided to sell it as I know what quality it brings when you think hanging baskets, containers and even soil conditioner. I suppose it is one of the things you need to try to under stand it.
I took on board your concern, found a way to low my costs and reduced the price massively!
and the first order came today!
thank you!
