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…

Hi EveryoneAny recommendations for van security ? How effective are deadlocks fitted to all points of entry? How many of us have suffered from "peel and steal"? Could extra locks/ readlocks have prevented this. There seem to be plenty of UK…
"tried and tested in good old scottish damp soaking lawns after adverse weather has to be the weibang so long as it has a high lift blade, whilst not dropping clumps on lawn you will find you still need to clear under the cutting deck after each…"
Hi all For those who provide lawn treatments as a service, do you use year round treatments that require no immediate watering in? I do use drought-safe fert in the summer months, but outwith this, majority of products used do require watering in…
"Nice plan with Paypal and pretty good price for the 130T 👍"
"Saw your listing on Ebay while I was having a browse. All this talk of trimmers stimulated me to buy one early this morning ! Brand new 24 inch HSA130T for just £345 (330 + 15 delivery) inc VAT. Dealership in the southwest called Mason King. They…"
"I do like the idea of losing the cable but, as you mention, the cost of the 150T is steep. Not a fan of the cable, but if just doing a long straight hedge then it's not an issue. And don't use it on ladders. May even just keep the 94T until it dies…"

"Been considering the 150T myself, the only thing putting me off (apart from the price tag!) is the additional weight from having the battery on board, even if I were to use a lightweight AP100 pack (luckily I have several as they would drain quickly…"
"Yeah it's been a cracker for us, but fancy getting the new 150T and can't really justify having both so thought we'd sell these on to put money towards it."

"No, I was correct. MTD does not apply to Partnerships at present. I said not for the forseeable future, which is true because although it will happen, no timetable has been announced.

"HSA94T is a great professional grade machine especially for big runs of thick, fine annually clipped conifer and the like. Needs either a battery holster or backpack, and cable to use, of course. I have 24" version, several years old still going…"
