Ant Killing Nematodes
Ant Killing Nematodes was £11.95 now £9.95
Ant nests can be a real problem to control in border soils and lawns causing raised areas of soil and disruption to plant roots. They can be controlled with parasitic nematodes. Water the nematodes directly into the nest using a watering can. Apply April to September to a well-watered lawn or border. Soil temperature must be at least 10º C and ants should be active. The microscopic transparent worm controls both black and red ants. Treatment can be repeated. One pack will treat up to 6 nests. Safe for children pets wildlife near food crops. Safe to use the lawn directly after application. Nematodes will attack the young Ant larvae so allow 10-14 days for visible effect. They are safer more effective but slower acting than a contact action pesticide which kills the adult ant but not the young larvae underground When you receive your pack of Ant Killing Nematodes the unopened pack may be stored in a fridge up to the shelf life shown on the package usually 1 to 2 weeks. Once opened the entire pack contents should be used immediately

REMOW BATTERY-POWERED ROTARY LAWNMOWER
REMOW BATTERY-POWERED ROTARY LAWNMOWER £199.00
The Re.Mow Battery-Powered Rotary Lawnmower offers all the advantages of a mains-powered machine (clean-running, little maintenance, low noise), without the obvious restrictions of a power-cord. Its hugely powerful battery charges in eight hours and produces a blade-speed of 3000rpm – the fastest in its class. This not only ensures a clean, uniform cut, but also optimises collection performance. The cutting-height is centrally controlled, allowing you to make performance-boosting adjustments to the blade-position via a single lever; while a handy LED charge-level display ensures that you’ll never run out of power in the middle of a cut. This innovative mower is incredibly convenient – Re.Mow’s ‘Click + Mow’ technology means you only need to press one button, pull the power-lever and you’re away. Other features include a very large-capacity grass-collector for fewer emptying-breaks; and tool-free battery access, so the battery can be quickly and easily removed for charging. Battery type: lead-acid Battery power: 24v Charge time: 8 hours Blade speed: 3000rpm Cutting-width: 36cm Cutting-height: 28 – 68mm Height adjustment: single lever Lawn size: up to 300m2 Collector capacity: 50l Weight: 22.5kg Integrated carrying handles: 2
