There does appear to be so many variables in this equation. Where do you find the correct spreading rate - reactive and proactive. When using a pedestrian spreader do you cost by sq.m. and if so what do you charge or how many sq.m. would you do in...

Learning Curve

Then came the networking to promote the website but this opened up a whole new ball game. Introduction to this very informative site was just the beginning.
Enter 'blogging' and with the patience of… Continue

Heathers sprayed with food dye -bou… Continue

Rabbit on lawn - perfect picture- next morning no tops left on newly planted annuals. Deer in the field opposite grazing peacefully oblivious to me enjoying the moment at a distance moving closer to home as I sleep only to pull out parts of the newly planted beech hedge. Foxes - pests to many but al… Continue

HI V

I have noticed this too and I am as perplexed as you.

I have sent a message to Chris tonight in a hope to get to the bottom of it.

Thanks

Phil
