As Blue Monday is fast approaching, I thought it would be a good idea to give a small reminder to our community here on Landscape Juice to remember to tell people about your worries and if you’re having negative thoughts. Talking about emotions…
Britmow weren’t aware how much of an impact attending a trade show would have on their future endeavours. In the run up to their 50th anniversary, they were exploring ideas of how to celebrate. It’s only when they met Kate Cooney from…
“Gardening programmes tend to be very ‘traditional’ white middle-class in their attitude towards gardening”, Julia Sargeant said in an interview after she won gold at Chelsea Flower Show in 2016. She was the first black gardener to design…

"Glad to hear that. When you said "any tips on keeping them extra warm in the van whilst on site " I wrongly assumed she was in there all the time! I'm sure she has a great old time though if it was me, I'd still find it a huge distraction and…"
"Didn't say the dog was stuck in the van she comes out alot of the time, she is certainly not unhappy and is excited to leave in the morning. In the hot weather my van is always parked in shade and not facing the sun and have a portable air…"
"Thanks for the replies .
I found the perfect solution we had some patio furniture winter covers we never got around to using and simply cut it up to drape around the machines
Packed some bubble wrap in the battery slots to stop spiders getting in…"

"My dog comes to work with me most days. Most of my gardens he comes in with me and has free run,If it's a commercial site he sometimes stays at home. Often my customers take him in and feed him lol. He gets a better deal than I do. A few winters ago…"
"I'd have thought the poor dog would get pretty bored stuck in a van all day...... I certainly would? Is it fair on the dog? What happens when it's desperate for the loo and its stuck in the van? What happens in the hot weather or do you leave the…"

"Seen them on Amazon, mixed reviews, some look of dubious quality, and many buyers seemed to hope it's equivalent to a roaring log fire. Whereas the heat emitted will be quite gentle"
"Like the sound of the heated pad.
Thanks "
Thanks "
"maybe a hot water bottle wrapped in cloth so claws dont burst it. Or a USB heated electrical pad run off a power tool battery with adaptor. Although only 5 Volts so imagine only partially effective "
Afternoon all.Wasn't sure how to title this.My dachshund comes to work with every day. Does any one else take their dog to work and does anyone have any tips on keeping them extra warm in the van whilst on site? Obviously she has a coat and…
"I would echo what some of the others have said. The 450 should be plenty for most work. The 430 is the same performance and a fair bit lighter, but doesn't have the electric start or adjustable tube so would depend on what is more important to you.…"
"I only ever use all Stihl stuff , apart from my mowers .
I use a 56's for everyday use , and a Br800 at the end of the year . A bit heavy for some people , but really powerful and makes short work of some bigger jobs .Was laughing the other week…"

I bought a husky 570 in the spring. I'm really pleased with it. The only down side is the choke switch and the handle aren't the best quality. I bought it off a local supplier so it made sense to get that over the Stihl. In all honesty I…"
