"I use rotatech chains and they have been very good, I use them on my chainsaws and my pole pruners and from a price point you get 2 chains for the price of a stihl one. They hold a good edge and sharpen easily. The one point I would make is there is…"
"I use tyvek suits and 2 pairs of vinyl gloves when spraying, I dont use a face shield but when applying biocides I do use a ffp3 mask. A face shield is normally only required when handling the concentrate during the initial mixing. Others will cert…"
As above, I know what I should be wearing but what do people actually use? Paper suit, gloves and a face shield?? And yes I am qualified, but it's a long time ago!

"This Garden Planner seems to be all fine with the scale side of things - I haven't noticed anything wierd there....? I've got the plan loaded into my Surface Pro, and another good thing is while I'm on the job, setting out the plants, if I need to c…"
"Hi Karsten, yes I meant a 2D graphic in plan view, saved as a component so I can generate a report to get the right quantities. I know what you mean about the 2D face-me graphics, they are an irritation and move around from where you’ve placed the…"
"Hi Jane,
Yes, the Garden Planner is truly a simple software compared to Sketchup (I like to call it Ketchup! ((~8). I can easily see why you wouldn't use it after getting established with Sketchup. I wouldn't even say it has plant lists, just genera…"

"Yes Nicola, who wouldn't hanker after Vectorworks ((~8When you say a 2D plant graphic, do you mean 2D in plan view? This Garden Planner, I'm discovering, is relatively simple, but really seems to go right to the limits of its simplicity. What I like…"
"They both contain flazasulfuron so to all intents and purposes they are the same."
"Hi again Karsten,
I've just had a look at the Garden Planner. A nice simple tool.. But I am too far down the line with Sketchup to get this. I was looking to have one that produced a plant list, but this has too few plants. You can build up a lib…"

"Hello Karsten,
I too hanker after Vectorworks but use Sketchup.. If you have a sketch of a design you want to put in 3D you can import a jpg of your drawing into Sketchup. If it's to scale you make the faces 'Xray' and draw over the sketch, then us…"
