Stiga Snow Electric 31 Snow Blower was £69.00 now £49.00
The weather is unpredictable, whatever the forecasters say, and a sudden fall of snow can wreak havoc with your daily routine, affecting work, school and shopping amongst other things. Clearing snow with a shovel can be wearing and stressful on the back and so this neat, compact, lightweight and simple electric Snow Blower, with a working width of 31 centimetres, could revolutionise your snow clearing when the white stuff comes down. Built with the smaller household in mind, the Stiga Snow Electric 31 Snow Thrower is the perfect alternative to a shovel, and is compact and light enough to hang up on your porch coat hooks with the winter coats or store in the shed with the other tools, but powerful enough to clear up snow easily from your yard and throw it up to five metres away. Working like a kind of electric shovel, with a powerful 1100 electric mains powered motor, the Stiga Snow Electric 31 Snow Thrower is designed for hard surfaces and has a working width of 31 centimetres and an intake height of 23 centimetres, so will clear small drives, paths, patios and areas of decking very effectively. There are no wheels, the Electric 31 uses snowshoes, which slide along the surface, over the ice and snow, so it can clear right down to the ground. Ergonomic handles make this a very comfortable machine to use. The handle is telescopic so you can work at the correct height for your posture and the handgrip is adjustable. All this plus a reliable electric switch start and easy storage, in season or out, make this the ideal solution to winter’s potential chaos

Billy Goat DL1801 VEEU Heavy-Duty Leaf & Debris Truck Loader £3129.00
Made for clean ups on a larger scale, with rugged construction and a host of user-friendly features, it’s no wonder Billy Goats debris munching trailer loaders are so popular with parks, gardens, visitor attractions, sports grounds and clean up contractors everywhere. This excellent, heavy-duty model, aimed at mid-scale cleanups features the classic Billy Goat shredding combination of a armour plated impellor with 4 serrated blades, 8 cutting points including a trademarked, very efficient Piranha blade, reducing leaves, twigs, pine cones or other debris to a twelfth of its original size. The impellor in this model is 40cm in diameter so very little in the way of debris will trouble this robust machine. The power behind this top-grade unit is a 544cc Vanguard engine with high performance and plenty of drive, creating a suction volume of more than 104 cubic metres per minute. The intake hose has a working diameter of 20 centimetres so you can take in more, larger items and the length is over 3 metres. It is tough and flexible, made of coiled urethane and is transparent, so you can keep an eye on the intake and watch out for any blockages. It is controlled by two, ergonomically placed handles with soft grips for comfortable, strain free operation. A safety kill switch is included which shuts down the whole system when pressed very fast, and the hose attaches with Quick connect, a fast and simple release hose clamp that includes a safety interlock.Billy Goat’s special CustomFit system means you can customise the loader to fit your truck and in addition can be loaded three set ways. These include tailgate mounting using the optional hanger kit, truck hitch mounted with the optional swing away hitch, or skid mounted (on a pallet or platform) on a trailer or truck. Construction is sturdy and durable across the board, with 12-gauge housing and a replaceable steel liner, also offering longer working life. This model comes with a reliable and fatigue reducing electric start.

Helleborus x hybridus Harvington Smokey Blues (Lenten rose hellebore) was £16.99 now £15.99
Position: partial shade Soil: heavy, neutral to alkaline soil, including heavy soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: February to April Other features: all parts of the plant cause severe discomfort if ingested; the sap may cause skin irritation; dark greyish-green leaves give off an unpleasant odour when crushed Hardiness: borderline hardy (may need winter protection) Nodding or outward-facing, double, deep purple-black flowers open in February an d last for up to three months. The handsome evergreen foliage is leathery, deep ly cut and dark green. This is a new variety of lenten rose and the unusual, pu rple-black flowers have a dark blue sheen and creamy-yellow centres. They look stunning contrasted with snowdrops. To appreciate their colour, they are best planted in groups at the front of a partially shady mixed border, ideally where they can be seen through windows in winter, or as a ground cover plant for area s of dappled shade under deciduous trees and shrubs. In former times, hellebore s were planted close to cottage doors to prevent evil spirits from crossing the threshold. Garden care: Add lots of well-rotted leaf mould or organic matter to the planting hole. Cut the old leaves back down to the ground in January or February as this will show off the new emerging flowers to best effect. It will also help to get rid of foliar diseases such as Hellebore leaf spot. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted organic matter around the base of the plant in autumn and provide a top-dressing of general fertiliser each spring.

Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: moist, well-drained, moderately fertile, humus-rich soil Rate of growth: fast-growing Flowering period: June to October Flower colour: pink (in normal or alkaline soils) Hardiness: fully hardy The latest member of the ‘Endless Summer’ group of hydrangeas, this cultivar produces masses of pink lacecap flowers for a very long period throughout summer and autumn – usually right up to the first hard frosts.

Garden care: Leave the old flower heads in place through the winter. As the new shoots start to emerge in spring cut back a third to a quarter of the previous seasons flowering stems to the base and cut back the remaining flower heads to the first pair of buds.
