The Landscape Juice Network's Aims and Objectives

The Landscape Juice Network (LJN)

What is it?

LJN is an open association of individuals and companies involved in landscaping, garden maintenance, horticulture and garden design.

The site is free to join. There is no restriction to being a member and all information -with the exception of that exchanged within a few specialist groups - is available for anyone to read and comment upon.

Why was it formed?

LJN was formed in April 2008 to provide an independent association for professional gardeners and landscapers as well as any person or business related to the landscape industry.

LJN aims to provide a website where members can meet online and participate in discussion, share information and form relationships that help to advance their knowledge and strengthen their respective businesses.

LJN also aims to offer an "open access" alternative to the "vetted membership only" policies of some existing organisations. It is the LJN philosophy to empower its members to be expressive and transparent about their own abilities, ambitions and, most importantly, limitations.

LJN's objectives

  • To continue to grow and influence the decisions that impact all of the related professions
  • To raise awareness of the many challenges that garden and landscape businesses face (particularly SMEs) and provide short cuts to solutions.
  • To ensure that the Internet plays an important part in our industry's development and gives a greater voice to those who previously had no access to professional organisations.
  • To give prospective clients additional confidence, through the information available and the signed Customer Charter.

Tom Greener replied to Daniel Gillings @ DC inc's discussion Rumble strips in lawn!
"Seen this before and we can only assume that it is the lawn having been mowed successively and frequently when the surface has been too soft causing mower wheels to produce ruts.  Our wet Autumns and Springs are the probably the culprit."

"This 'sounds' the most likely link to my 'issue' the furrows as so regular and a very repeated pattern. Perhaps a good heavy roller would aid...
the way my mower goes over it it bounces like crazy, and would therefore add to the issue. I'll take a…"

Mark McNee replied to Daniel Gillings @ DC inc's discussion Rumble strips in lawn!
"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.…"

Neil Darby replied to Taylor’s's discussion Selective lawn herbicides and composting clippings
"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…"

Neil Darby replied to Peter sellers's discussion Stiga/mountfield roller mower
"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…"

Adam Woods replied to Taylor’s's discussion Selective lawn herbicides and composting clippings
"How about a spray, then the next cut goes to waste?
Assuming the cuts are a few weeks apart all should be good?"

Tim Wallach replied to Daniel Gillings @ DC inc's discussion Rumble strips in lawn!
"I've seen old daffodil fields with ridges and furrows.  The spaces between the ridges were double yours though to allow walking along to pick.  Could there have been commercial planting once upon a time?"

Difficult one to describe. We've got a couple of lawns that we've taken over and both (unrelated locations) have got an almost rumble strip feel to certain sections. Absolutely paralell lines in a relatively large area. I'm ensured that the only…
