About the Landscape Juice Network

Founded in 2008. The Landscape Juice Network (LJN) is the largest and fastest growing professional landscaping and horticultural association in the United Kingdom.

LJN's professional business forum is unrivalled and open to anyone within within the UK landscape industry

LJN's Business Objectives Group (BOG) is for any Pro serious about building their business.

For the researching visitor there's a wealth of landscaping ideas, garden design ideas, lawn advice tips and advice about garden maintenance.

As the title says.

Why do we pay a premium for the privilege to have professional discussions yet we do not fully exploit this wonderful opportunity within the HUB?

Instead we discuss in an open forum pay, sourcing of materials, and various other industry specific items.

If we were to collectively use the HUB for what our membership pays for then I am sure more people would be willing to discuss openly their experiences and offer other pieces of advice.

This would then allow the general public to ask for general pieces of advice to which the "pro" members could contribute good quality top tips and advice.

  • To be honest, i had forgotten about it.

    I come on have a read of what is going on on the landing page.

    Maybe an obvious link on the landing page to remind us we may be missing out on discussions elsewhere.

    What is your landing page Peter...the front page or the forum section?

  • Hello Hello all!

    Yes Peter I feel that the HUB forum could or should be a little more easier to navigate to. The HUB forum is a little bit tucked away. Perhaps a button or link would become available as soon as the individual logged on much to the same principle as when we log in, we can see our name and other details like personnel messages etc.

    There is a Hub link in the left sidebar and under Premium button.

    I've posted in the HUB recently and got replies, thanks everyone!

    Hi Andy!

    Whilst we do get replies to our discussions do people not feel that some of the discussions are not as fluid as perhaps they could be?

    Another thought is that the HUB discussions are a separate forum.
    Imagine sitting at a desk with two computers in front of you. One a PC and the other a mac. Both have features for and against yet because you have two separate but similar machines in front of you, one does not fully exploit the full potential and the individual will naturally default back to their preferred machine.

    In this case we are presented with two forums similar but different. The human being will always default and take the easiest path.

    My argument / statement is that do we all agree that we should perhaps use the HUB more than what we concurrently do.

    I will be the first to put my hand up and say that I would have like to have posed a question or added to the HUB community yet I feel there it is not populated as much as I had hoped.

    There are email alerts for the Hub. You just have to make sure that your settings are up to date so that you receive them.

    Yeah, I agree to an extent, I think the idea of a HUB button is excellent, I also think maybe an 'alert' is somehow given to show when new posts are added to the HUB to highlight new activity, not sure how viable that is though.
    I think a lot of discussions go on in the 'main room' because it does flow a lot better in there and questions can be posed and answered almost immediately..

  • If i am being honest i like the privacy you get from the hub.. People have always replied to me and i have also just recently posted a new topic in there too

    BTW - All Premium members (that includes Premium Supplier) are entitled to access the Hub.
    I send invites immediately after any members upgrades. If you have upgraded but yet to gain access then please send me a message and I'll re-send.

    Personally I think there is not enough pro members of LJN. The hub gets used by pro members to discuss private / sensitive issues and thats the way it should be. Not all posts and discussions should be viewed by the general public. I'll be a bit controversial here, Im my opinion not enough members of LJN support it, where it really needs it........ funding. This site is an incredible source for both experienced guys and start ups alike. Help it stay that way and sign up for pro membership, it cost less than 10p per day, surely its worth that to everybody ?.

  • And just for continuity we have a similar discussion in the HUB which has just been started by Gary.
