Being a professional gardener and nurseryman, I’ve used many different types of lawns over the years, from the newest cordless rotary mowers I reviewed here to powerful petrol lawn mowers, which are great mowers for large lawns. Don’t get me wrong; I love my other modern mowers, especially cordless mowers, as there is no engine to service or power leads to worry about and have hanging over my shoulder. I don’t have to worry about…
I’ve been using chainsaws for almost 20 years so when it comes to chainsaws, I like to think I know and thing or two about them. If you’re considering buying your first chainsaw or maybe just upgrading/replacing another one. Hopefully, my experience and knowledge with cordless chainsaws, petrol chainsaws and even a couple of corded electric chainsaws will be useful and save you from making some of the mistakes I’ve made over the years. Let’s…

These propagators can be unheated or heated (also known as electric propagators) but models some take…
I’ve been using Flymo lawnmowers for over 20 years, mainly the petrol hover mower which is an excellent tool as part of my garden maintenance business I ran alongside working in the family nursery. Flymo hover mowers are great for slopes, embankments and uneven lawns. In fact, we still have a couple of these petrol hover mowers to this day and they still fire up the first time every time. Like a lot of people,…

If you need a pair of ladders that you can store in the smallest of spaces and still reach new heights, a good set of telescopic ladders is the way to go, best of all, some even turn into A-frame step ladders What do you do if you need a long ladder to get up into your loft or to wash your upstairs windows outside but you only have a small shed to store it…
The best mole traps – we look at some of the most successful traps from traditional scissor traps to humane live catch traps With so many mole traps in local stores and online, how do you know which ones are truly the best?
