Iris 'Supreme Sultan' (tall bearded iris)

Iris ‘Supreme Sultan’ (tall bearded iris) £9.99
Position: full sun Soil: well-drained, moderately fertile, neutral to acidic soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: May and June Flower colour: gold and mahogany Other features: all parts of the plant may cause severe discomfort if ingested Hardiness: fully hardy A sultry iris with gold and mahogany flowers that are held on tall, ramrod-stiff stems. A magnificent bearded iris that looks superb planted with rust and chocolate coloured flowers. Great for planting in bold groups in full sun and well-drained soil. Like all irises, it is worth preparing the soil before planting by adding plenty of well rotted manure or good garden compost to provide nitrogen and other nutrients. Garden Care: Plant shallowly with the upper part of the rhizome sitting on the surface of the soil, incorporating a low nitrogen fertiliser in the planting hole. After planting remove the upper-most third of the leaves to protect against wind-rock. In exposed areas stake with bamboo canes in early spring. Divide and replant about every three years.

Alko 4000VB Petrol Scarifier Collector (Collector Only - Part No 119330)

Alko 4000VB Petrol Scarifier Collector (Collector Only – Part No 119330) was £449.00 now £29.99
With its high-performance 148cc / 2.2kW Briggs & Stratton four-stroke engine freeing the operator from the restrictions of a mains-cable, the German-designed Al-Ko 4000VB is ideal for those maintaining a larger lawn (it has a 40cm working-width). The engine powers a set of 17 stainless-steel scarifying knives, which will pull out any thatch accumulation, thereby making it much easier for sunlight, oxygen, micro-organisms and essential nutrients to reach the all-important root-network. The six-stage working-depth is dial adjusted, so it couldn’t be easier to select you desired blade position. The Al-Ko 4000VB Petrol Scarifier comes equipped with a capacious 50-litre collector, so you won’t have to rake-up any debris that might be left on the lawn surface. It sits on smooth-running ball-bearing mounted wheels and weighs just 33kg, so it couldn’t be easier to push; and it features a safety-enhancing ‘deadman’s handle’, which ensures the engine stops when the bail-arm is released.

McCulloch M53-160DW High-Wheel 4-in-1 Self-propelled Lawn Mower (Honda Engine) (Showroom Model - Scratched Handle)

McCulloch M53-160DW High-Wheel 4-in-1 Self-propelled Lawn Mower (Honda Engine) (Showroom Model – Scratched Handle) £329.00
This Honda-powered Hi-wheel lawnmower from leading brand McCulloch is offered exclusively in the UK by MowDIRECT,It comes packed with features and has four different cutting options allowing you to switch easily – without tools – between standard collection and mulching mode for lawn areas and either rear or side discharge for rough grass areas where the grass is longer.The mower is powered by a class-leading Honda GCV160 engine which employs an overhead-cam design to ensure fuel-costs are kept at remarkably low levels whilst also reducing noise, vibrations and emissions. The engine is also incredibly easy to start with little effort required to pull the cord. Thanks to its expansive 53cm cutting-width and high-volume 71-litre grass-collector, the McCulloch M53-160DW Lawn Mower will make the task of large-scale lawn-maintenance far less time-consuming.The self-propelled drive system eliminates the need for any pushing making mowing your lawn effortless and as power is sent to the front wheels, this mower has the added advantage of eliminating the need to disengage the drive during turns.It also lets you choose between five pre-set cutting-heights (25 – 82mm), so the finish you prefer will prove easily achievable no matter what the conditions. The mower runs on ball-bearing mounted wheels that will continue to roll smoothly with age, and combined with the Hi-wheel design ensure more stable operation on less even ground.The handlebar on the McCulloch M53-160DW is foldable, so you won’t have to worry about space in the shed.
