Hi Robbie,
Thanks for sharing the video. Very useful tips on garden maintenance. I'm sure the client was very satisfied with the service. I noticed you applied moss control at a later stage which I was unaware of. I'll have a closer look at the video you mentioned. Interesting technique used for lawn feed. Do you use other equipment when covering larger areas?
