Stuart Marler said… - Hi Nick,
Thanks for the reply about google adwords. I have put my name "TVG Landscaping Sussex" as the title of my advert and so hope this will direct more local people.
I might upgrade from the starter edition to the advanced one, that is supposed to enable one to target more locally. Will keep you informed.
Take care,
Stuart

Rest assured that my faith is restored! Happy Selling at Chatsworth - we won't be able to be there, but you may see Fereday Senior if he and the Mrs fancy a drive out. Fereday S looks a little like Richard Wilson (Meldrew), and was featured in the Gripple print ads.

pete said… - Hello Nick, could I ask your nursery man's opinion/advice on fungicide for my (cistus, ceanothus, osmanthus) cuttings. I always used Benlate and Hex....something - twenty years ago, but the three products I saw today (two myclobutanil and one mancozeb) all seemed to be saying unsuitable for my delicate cuttings. I intend to try and root them individually in plastic thumb pots in an enclosed propagater with gentle bottom heat... just until rooted, then ventilate a little and pot on in the spring ... but if I were to use a fungicide Nick, out of what's currently available please could you tell me which one?

- Ok, so nothing much available for the general public then.... as if they don't trust us (just joking).... did you see that 'Vanishing of the Bees' Phil put up -- scary -- and more recently, 'Kitchen Gardens' - now that's what I'd really like to be doing --- Thanks for your advice Nick, just as I remember - thankyou.
