My week at best4garden, so interesting

The move few years ago from being giving a service of garden design and problem solver as agronomist to big gardens in israel to being a retailer for gardening products is actually very interesting ...

 

I get many customers ring me and tell me amazing facts, this week another customer from france, saying that she can not sleep at night their bamboo plants are spreading all around their garden. they tried several things.

 

It was just after nigel, email me that, after I supplied him the week before a barrier to another area in his garden.


 Customer comments:
 QUALITY ROOT BARRIER & EXCELLENT SERVICE

 

'When I first planted bamboo a couple of years ago the seller didn't mention that the plants like to wander.  Fortunately I discovered the escaping rhizomes just in time, pulled them up and then looked for a good root barrier online.  One was sent to me from another plant supplier that was so flimsy I sent it back. 

Fortunately I then came across Ofer's website and spoke to him on the telephone.  The service was excellent and the root barrier arrived promptly.  The quality was so much better than the other company.  It was heavy duty, thick plastic and I went for one with a good depth.   I've just ordered another supply - this time for our side garden and once again the service and product was excellent.  Thanks Ofer - you're a pleasure to deal with.'

"Can't find the MHHP manual online, but the other Etesia mowers have an engine bypass lever, to allow the mower to be pushed etc. If you operated this lever prior to winter storage, you'll need to put it back to normal position. "
