I started my horticulture life as a garden odd-jobber back in May 1984, initially running my little enterprise from the back of a mini car. I had never intended to be a gardener but it was the case of needs-must after having a motorcycle accident for
There is a vacuum in the gardening world when it comes to quality of the product and the rewards for the talented people, who strive day in day out to present a garden for the joy and relaxation.

"Don't think you are paying attention, the original post was from Jason Taylor, I did not post the photo nor ask for any suggestions all I was doing was defending Jason's position in response to your unhelpful comments"
"Sorry Peter I have to go the distance. I own a tiller it will cut a foot, its bloody hard work and slow. I bet above is at least six passes. Large areas like that I'd hire a cannon. 3/4 passes it would cut to a foot and leave a fine tilth rather…"
"Not how I describe it, it's what it is, a tiller. And and do me a favour 😆 nobody is criticising your work, I'm criticising the ineffectiveness of that tool. I can see it in the picture you have posted. You have posted asking for any suggestions.…"
"Sorry to be blunt but we have cultivated many acres with what you describe as a tiller over the last 40 years without the need to hire a rear tine rotovator, it's unfair to criticise someone elses work without knowing the circumstances and not what…"
"Sorry to be blunt. But my bugbear is people referring to pathetic tillers as rotavators. "
"Sorry but a Stihl mh585 is a tiller not a rotavator. Something I would use at the allotment not on a professional job. Something like a Barretto 13hp you can hire for £100 a day is a proper rotavator and will go deeper and turn all those clumps to…"

Hi people,Last year I bought several pieces of equipment including a TF 325 tiller. It's been built but never used, infact- I haven't even put oil or petrol in it, nor have I started it. It's been sitting in my shed since September last year. If…

" Thanks gents - I was thinking an inverter from the cigarette ligher might work but then, as Nick says, I was also thinking it might be electrically dubious."
"As Nick says, best just to buy more battery packs. The other option would be to take some kind of rechargeable mains voltage power bank to run a charger from. But that also could end up being more trouble than it's worth"
"You need a pure sine wave inverter. We did fit 2 vans out with them, wired into the battery and with the correct fuses.
They would happily run a van battery flat if you're not careful despite a low voltage cut off and one inverter caught fire when…"

Charging Stihl tools from the van
So I'm doing some light domestic work using mostly Stihl AK powered gardening tools, I'm wondering if anyone can recommend a way to charge them up between jobs whilst driving between jobs. There's probably a very obvious way of doing it but I've…
