"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."

"Horrible in the wet just shows we are all different. I wouldn't even consider hayter for the terrible collection reason"
"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).

"I've used Hayter harrier 56 pro mowers for 30 years . They're the best for maintenance, admittedly not great in the wet , but I wouldn't change . "
"Interesting with the weibang I've had 1 for 5yrs bought new and it's been fine nothing to report as of yet which compared to the honda new needing a new back end after 18 months."
"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…"

It is always nice to see people that care about environment,
I also tried to recycle materials on projects that I did and now try to offer recycled materials.There are not as nice as your dry stone walls but sure good for environment.
Keep on going- you got it

I'm new to the site and halting on my way to peek at the Sustainable Group. Great way to repurpose the concrete blocks and win-win situation to boot. I'm not a landscaper but am involved in construction of sorts and try to repurpose materials wherever possible both for more sustainable use of resources in design and the time worn qualities....and the creative challenges it presents like you have just demonstrated. Alas I am working with too much concrete at the moment and need to explore other materials that will enable less use. I'm currently combining ashes from the forge and other reycled aggragetes and thinking about experimenting with more natural materials used in ancient traditional wall building including lime based mortars (not ideal) animal and plant products. Grateful for any tips and enjoyed your'e post.
