Ask any gardener or grounds maintenance person what they think about Etesia mowers and to those that haven’t used them before will either tell you that they are not suitable for the their clients lawns or aren’t they just used on council grass verges , round-abouts and other public spaces.
So it seems that Etesia have been servicing a niche market predominately selling to the…
Continue Dealing with moss in lawns and paths
Posted on March 18, 2011 at 22:00 3 Comments 5 Likes
In order to treat moss, it helps to understand a little about this complex and interesting plant.
Moss is believed to be one of the earliest plants known and there are approximately 20,000 species that have been identified throughout the world and it is believed to have evolved from algae within the oceans million of years ago.
As moss do not produce flowers / seeds they therefore have to reproduce through spores whereas the male plant has to…
Continue What grass seed?
Posted on January 31, 2011 at 12:30 2 Comments 0 Likes
I was asked the other day not to include any Ryegrass when seeding a new lawn in a few months’ time which would basically be used as a child’s play area along with another comment about what grasses I would use for a first rate lawn.
Now common annual ryegrass is often included in turf seed mixtures because it germinates and establishes rapidly. Ryegrass cultivars are therefore often used for over seeding or as a very high a percentage of the mix where a quick establishment…
Continue Spring lawn mowing height

As the grass starts to grow you will need to start to mow your lawn. It is very important in early spring that you try and minimise causing too much stress to your lawn so for the first few cuts set the mowing height to its highest setting and only mow as and when weather / soil conditions permit.
As the grass grows faster so should the frequency of your mowing and gradually lowering the cutting height of your mower.
Mowing heights are very much based upon…

Ian Collington commented on Graeme @ BGS's group Etesia Mowers"Hi ref blades not engaging they wil only engage if you are on the seat , and the grass box must be in the closed position check this first needs to push on the switch rear r/h side just above wheel cheaper than a new clutch"
Derek Tucker commented on Graeme @ BGS's group Etesia Mowers"Hi James, as Dan says the electro clutch is a likely problem, but I would check that the switch on rear grass box is being fully depressed as well. Sometimes the boxes distort and the frame does not push the micro switch in fully. The switch is…"

Ian Collington commented on Graeme @ BGS's group Etesia Mowers"A shear washer should have 4 x studs facing up towards the crank and two tabs facing down which locate in the blade, if the blade hits a obstruction these tabs shear off therefore protecting the crank from damge"

GORDON said… - Hi Graeme
thanks for the invite. You are obviously aware the bulk of my income is derived from lawn mowing and as such I keep a close eye on any developments in the mower market. The problem for me and a few others is they do not produce a roller mower and that is a must. Partly from the customers requirements and my own preference to see the finished article with the classic (British Strips). If they ever produce a roller mower then I would be extremely interested. Once again thank you for the invite and I do appreciate that you wish to make the event a success and from that point I regret that I am unable to support you on this occasion.
Kind Regards
Gordon

Thanks for the offer, unfortunately we do not work down in Plymouth or anywhere close to it. The holiday traffic makes it a nightmare to get in and out of.
