Instant hedging
A customer of mine is interested in instant hedging - his is a new build on a prestigious estate. He wants a 5ft laurel hedge, immediately. Length could be 18m or 44m, depending on costing, at £250 per metre unit this is a sizeable project. I've…

As the mowing season has drawn to a close, I am thinking about a new mower for next season. I have now narrowed it down to 3 machines, either Weibang or Honda. I appreciate there have been lots of posts on here regarding the best mowers and…

Does anyone have recommendations for products that actually work? I find several of them work if conditions are perfect, but not otherwise. We used to use Jeyes in the winter, but that's now practically washing up liquid. Block Blitz from QVC is…

I have been giving this some thought, certainly if we employ a gardener we will are likely to accept Bayleaf's offer to assist us in interviewing gardeners to ensure we get someone who at least know what they are doing, and I will certainly ensure whatever choice is made that we will include this site in advertising the opportunity.
While you don't charge for membership I do not see a problem in the TMO making a donation to a such a valid source, especially if we benefit so directly from it.
Hopefully if I return to work this year I will be in a position to make a personal donation at some point, as I do appreciate the advice and ideas I have had in the short time I've been here.
I am also pleased that you are thinking of using Graham in the process and it demonstrates how the network is developing for the benefit of the whole group.
All the best

Yes, the emphasis is on optional and without obligation. The thinking behind the honesty box is carrying through with the whole transparency and openness of the site. If a member benefits, hopefully they can add something to the pot which in-turn goes towards development.
My ambition is to create a real tool to assist any hort related business. I want to add accountancy and legal assistance and buying clubs and training course designed to train and not just make money.
To these ends we will need funding and the greater the membership, the greater the income and the more ambitious the development.
Kind regards
Phil
(Thank you also to Claudia - I did send a private message at the time but I did not on this page - I do not wish it to look as though she was being ignored for her generosity:-0))
