"QR codes" on Labels mean Pages of Plant Info for Potential Purchasers

Almost all modern phones have a camera, and an app for scanning QR codes.

Now, by using QR codes supplied by Joy of Plants, your labels can allow would-be purchasers to see a webpage of complete details for each plant variety - making it so much more likely they'll find the right plant and buy it.

Joy of Plants launched its “Plant Info” QR codes at the Four Oaks trade show this week with Atkiro Ltd, a well-known grower and wholesale nursery from Yorkshire.

The Joy of Plants QR codes:

* Are available for over 7,500 plant varieties and give access to world-class plant information that is maintained and delivered by Joy of Plants

* Can be used on any kind of plant label, provided by any label manufacturer, as there are no restrictions on use

* Are “ready to use” and tested, pre-sized and formatted for label printers

* Lead to pages that are quick to download and easy to use on a smartphone

* Are supplied free of charge for anyone to use

Find out more from 3rd September 2012 at: www.joyofplants.com/qrcodes.php

Gardeners can also buy the Joy of Plants iPhone app from the Apple AppStore to access the same information about 7,500 plants wherever they need it.

Garden Centres and Nurseries can license the Joy of Plants Plant Finder for their websites to deliver the same information as the Plant Info pages. See www.longacres.co.uk and click Plant Finder to see the Plant Finder in action.

"I can remeber been told about this problem when training 40 years ago. It's not uncommon and is the result of the same cylinder mower being used repeatedly for many years, generally in a narrow area where it has to be mowed in the same direction.…"

"The first three cuts after spraying cannot go into compost. I do however send it to green waste (I didn't know that I can't & the amount within GW site would be nothing) You would have to be mowing every other day to clip off the seed heads to stop…"

"Hi Peter, I try not to mow if possible when its too wet. Like most machines the grass sticks everywhere. If it is already trimmed it is ok, just don't go cutting a couple of inches growth when wet! Just a side note, the bloody belt come off of it…"
