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…
“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…
Studies report that burglary is one of the most emotionally impactful crimes to be a victim of. The prevention of being succumbed to it is always at the back of our minds – is anything on show? Are all the windows closed? Did you definitely lock…

"The higher voltage (after a certain point) doesn't necessarily mean a faster stroke rate. For fine conifer and the like I use a Stihl HSA94T (older version of the HSA130T) which is incredibly fast, in fact I can't even cope with it on the highest of…"
"Personally i think you are opening a can of worms, i would hazard a guess that somewhere in the title deeds you can not put a fence down there as both parties are responsable for the up keep of the steps, if you had asked me to quote i would walk…"
"If the fence has to go on top of the concrete steps I'd put up a continuous post and rail feather edge fence with the posts in holes cut through the concrete. (I hate using metpost supports) You won't need as many post holes as you would using…"
"I’m not sure thats the case with all. As I said the stihl petrol is 4.7 kg minus petrol. A lot of battery models I’ve been looking at come in at under 4kg inc battery, also the run times dont look bad if you’ve a 5AH battery. Anyway as Im now only…"
"Parish magazine and recommendations are the only way if you expect to be fully booked in a.month think again. It takes time and effort you have to be better than the rest to recommendations or cheaper. I'd go cheaper at the start then as you fill up…"
"What is the width of the steps (side to side)? They don't look very wide, and putting a fence in the middle might make the steps unusable for both parties. You could spend a lot of time and money doing this, only to have your neighbour legally…"
"ok.. I thought it was along the hedge line... in the middle of the steps i agree, my idea isnt going to work"
"The boundary line runs down the centre of these steps so esstentially it will run from the gap between the window/patio door right down the steps to where the bin is on picture 2"
"Thanks for your response but we definetly want fencing instead of a hedge"
"Does this give you the view you need?"
"How are you going to put a hedge down the centre of concrete steps?"
"A better picture would help, so we can see what's at the foot of the steps, and what happens to the boundary line at the top. To get posts in any depth you'd need a big hole which would make it very hard to do neatly. I would probably be thinking…"

Small, compact battery strimmer with variable speed trigger?
I am looking for a small, compact, lightweight strimmer that is battery powered for small garden edging - I already have a Stihl FSA60R but its just a bit to powerful and unweldy for some of the smaller, finnicky edging. The strimmer MUST have…
