Hi all,My beloved Echo backpack blower went in for repair today and I fear it may be something terminally expensive. Certainly no complaints though - five years work out of a second hand piece of kit…Continue

"We do a lot of restorative pruning on laurels around our business park in late winter.
You can go in hard and it will benefit if shrub is out of control etc"
PRO MemberPaul McNulty replied to Andy Lawrence's discussion HARD PRUNING LAURELS - ANY ISSUES?
"I'm in the "softy south" and would agree with Claire. It's a good job to put off until late winter when work is slow, and better for the plant IMO."
PRO MemberClaire Brown replied to Andy Lawrence's discussion HARD PRUNING LAURELS - ANY ISSUES?
"i'd say it depends where you are in the country, - if you're in the softy south, then you need to leave it slightly longer before you hard prune.
if you prune now, you will get some soft sappy growth over the next month, - this will then…"
Ben Podd replied to Andy Lawrence's discussion HARD PRUNING LAURELS - ANY ISSUES?"Hi, agreed with Dan, no issues as far as the Laurel is concerend will come back stronger, just need to make sure it's a tidy cut as won't grow back as fast through Autumn."
PRO MemberDan Frazer Gardening replied to Andy Lawrence's discussion HARD PRUNING LAURELS - ANY ISSUES?
"I've done it a few times and everything grows back perfectly. It's better than a light prune that cuts all the leaves in half to be honest."

Andy Lawrence left a comment for Rowly Hill"Hi Rowly,
Just wondering how you are doing mate? Site seems a bit different this year. No j P, not heard much from you on the posts and now is seems like Paul has disappeared. What's going on?! "
Andy Lawrence replied to Dan Frazer Gardening's discussion Good luck Andy!"Hi all,
Just noticed this so cheers for the shout Dan, but as yet she is not for coming out!
Friday was the due date, but no movement at the mo. She obviously takes after me and likes a good lie in! "
Andy Lawrence replied to Dave Lockney's discussion Petrol multitools"I use the Stihl Kombi system and it works well for me. (ie, it makes me money)
I strongly recommend having at least two engines though, so if you have a problem with one you are not out of the game.
Only downside, as mentioned, is the vibration.…"
Andy Lawrence replied to Classic Gardens's discussion When's it too wet to work!"If you have got any hedges to do just bring them forward if you can Dan.
If you get your waterproofs on and a bit of music on your ipod/phone it makes things a bit more bearable. Grass cutting etc is just miserable in this weather, although I…"
Andy Lawrence replied to Chris Auld's discussion Entrepreneurship!"Wow, had to respond to this.
Puts me firmly in my place after all my recent moaning to the missus about the weather. Incredible effort by this young guy, which, as mentioned above, is genuinely humbling. An inspiring, brilliant…"
Andy Lawrence replied to Phillip Nicholls's discussion stones breaking car windows"Yeah, did a customer's car window last year which cost £120 to repair. Cost of the job? £120.
Also did my own van window a couple of weeks back. :-("
Andy Lawrence replied to Gardens4u.co.uk's discussion a good word"How ironic.
I recently put a post up about problems I had been experiencing with Stihl kit/repairs etc, which many people were happy to comment on.
Below is your insightful view.

Tim Haywood replied to Andy Lawrence's discussion Stihl the best?"I was using the blower vac yesterday to lift box trimmings from plum slate chippings and was thinking about your comment.

PRO MemberDan Frazer Gardening said… - Aye cheers Andy, that's why I have only stated facts and made sure I have. I have photos to show one pass, moss left behind etc. It boiled my blood and I want to prevent anyone having to pay for that kind of service.
