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…
A carefully-planned turf nutrition and treatment programme utilising three key Sherriff Amenity products has produced a sustained rise in the health, condition and playing standard of greens at the Milford Golf Club in Surrey.

"A Hilux seems to be the pick up of choice on this thread anyway- does anyone have experience of a Ford Ranger, as they seem a bit more affordable to buy than a Hilux at the moment ?

"Usually fusarium on lawns that are overwatered and overfed but should grow out at this time of year"
"Currently on my fourth or fifth Hilux with an L200 and some NIssan thing for a short time in the middle of all of them. In my experience there is no perfect vehicle and no perfect trailer, its just how you manage with it. I am in the darkest…"
" Those blades are as sharp as the back of a spoon. I would be sharpening them and doing a few cuts after a good season appropriate feed. That alone should improve colour and look of the lawn. I would be doing ALL the usual good practice things…"
"This is what you need; ULEZ compliant, no paint to scratch, many seats, charge your electric tools and has built in ramps and a touch of a button roller shutter to cover the bed."
"Cheers guys will do some research this weekend on the 94 v 100.
Have a great weekend "

"Almost certainly a phormium like others have said. Not that I'm trying to change your mind at all, just wanted to point out that they can be cut right down to an inch or so above ground level each year or two and they come back. The new growth is…"
"not tried a hsa100 yet, depending on the job i will still use a self contained HSA86 or HSA66 in preference to the cabled ones if it's a small-ish hedge, the HSA94 are reserved for the larger more serious jobs where the less powerful machines would…"
"I used to run a single cab brava pick up with canopy. It was great but a pain to access tools. I have run a vivaro for the last 7 years and find it so much easier to work out of. I sometimes consider going back to a pick up but I haven't done it…"
"As honey badger says, you'll probably need a digging bar to get leverage. The root ball can be very tough. When I've dug them out I use a combination of digging bar and a large axe to split the centre into two or three parts. To get them out in one…"
"We have one Tony in front of living room window ,It's really old and shows up on old black and white photos of the house .
I don't know what it is but about to flower , it's a spikey long flower white in colour .
It's had many mishaps over the years…"

"Like Oliver, we also didn't really enjoy having a cable and sold our HSA 94T after a couple of seasons. Hedge cutter is fantastic but just did not like the cable. I also was going to suggest taking a look at the HSA 100 but, having not used them…"
"The mower has a blunt blade - this also contributes to lawns getting diseases."
"We've been using the hsa100's the last couple of weeks and they seem great, a nice improvement on the previous hsa86, we've tried the 'tethered' versions and although an admittedly better machine nobody could get on with the cable being there!"
Untidy Palm
Morning All. One of my mow and go customers has a large palm right at the front of his house. It is about 2 metres high and the same in span and he would like it removing. Not sure of the variety but it is the no trunk, spread in all directions…

Lawn fungus ID
