The nutrients your lawn needs and when to apply
In the world of plants and gardening, your lawn is the equivalent of a long distance runner. It has stamina, it takes a lot of wear and tear and it works hard. Just…
Even in our local area, not many people know the true scale of the works that we can offer - basically if its grass (of virtually any description), we can offer services to help you maintain it, improve it, or even prepare the ground and reseed…
In today's world of gardening, there exists a discussion so heated that puts even the age-old coffee vs. tea debate to shame. And it all began with one deceivingly simple question – should you seed or sod your lawn? As it turns…

"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!
Hi AllI am looking for an alternative chain for MSA 200 C and HT-Km pole pruner and wondered if anyone could recommend one please
"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…"
