Stiga Park 540 DPX Ride-On Lawnmower (Excluding Deck)

Stiga Park 540 DPX Ride-On Lawnmower (Excluding Deck) £5834.00
Offering a desirable combination of diesel power with high-end Swedish engineering and innovative design solutions, the superb Stiga Park 540 DPX will impress even the most experienced user of ride-on mowers.Thanks to its innovative articulated steering system, whereby the chassis pivots midway between the front and back-wheels, the Park 540 DPX excels when it comes to obstacle negotiation, and can be quickly repositioned at the end of each pass. In addition, because the rear-wheels follow precisely in the path of front-wheels, you’ll be able to keep your eye firmly on the cutting-path, rather than worrying about the back half of the machine tipping into flowerbeds or catching obstacles.The Stiga Park 540 DPX Ride-On Lawnmower employs an out-front deck design that firstly cuts the grass prior to the wheels running-over it, which will deliver a classier finish; and secondly gives you a clear view of the deck so you can mow with greater accuracy.Equipped with an infinitely-variable four-wheel hydrostatic drive, the Stiga Park 540 DPX will take challenging terrain in its stride and can be driven at a speed that’s most suitable for the grass-conditions you’re faced with. It has a split-differential and wide-profile tyres, so you can be confident you won’t cause turf-damage when turning on formal lawns; and it boasts hydraulically-assisted steering that works with the adjustable driver’s seat and ergonomically positioned controls (PTO clutch; deck lift) to ensure time-consuming jobs won’t prove overly tiring.Powering the Park 540 DPX is a 517cc Hatz 1B540V engine; a premium-grade single-cylinder diesel unit that features a forged-steel crankshaft and pressurised lubrication for superior longevity; and which boasts an electric key starter for stress-free ignition at each time of asking.Also featured is an hour-metre that will let you know when a service is coming-up; and a large-capacity 12-litre fuel-tank that increases productivity by reducing the number of refuelling stops. A wide combination of deck options are availble from 95cm to 125cm wide.

De Wit hand bulb planter

De Wit hand bulb planter was £19.99 now £17.99
Robust, tapered tool with a sharpened rim. Used mainly in softer ground, in lawns and borders. Removes a core of soil with minimum friction. Use for daffodils and larger bulbs. Every De Wit garden tool is handmade in Holland; hand-forged from solid, top quality steel, shaped, sharpened and finally fitted with an oiled, solid ash wood handle of the finest quality. The Dutch are rightly regarded as makers of the finest gardening tools. De Wit have been around longer than anyone. They started in 1898 and the 4th generation of De Wits are now in charge of the business; one is a trained wood turner, the other trained as a blacksmith. De Wit forge their tools from carbon steel in the traditional way. Carbon Steel is naturally tougher than stainless steel and is not prone to metal fatigue. De Wit also burnish their steel. This not only helps to protect it for longer but gives it a patina that blackens it – just like traditional English tools from the Edwardian era. All De Wit tools have turned hardwood handles of oiled Ash. Ash is not only very strong but resists shock better than woods like oak or beech, which is why it was traditionally used for Axe handles. Size Head: 10cm wide ( 25.5) Total Length: 25cm long (9.75)

Camassia cusickii (Cusick's camass)

Camassia cusickii (Cusick’s camass) £5.99
Position: full sun or partial shade Soil: moist but well-drained, fertile, humus-rich, soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: May Hardiness: frost hardy (may need winter protection) This is an elegant perennial that looks amazing when planted in bold drifts. It grows from a bulb and has an upright habit, with strappy foliage that can grow to 80cm long. The star-like flowers (the colour varies in intensity, but it is always blue) form on an upright spike, so the effect is quite striking – and they can be cut for the vase. Happiest in reliably moist (but not waterlogged) soil, it will also tolerate a little light shade. Garden care: Try to plant them where they will remain undisturbed for several years as they resent being moved. In cold areas, apply a generous layer of mulch in autumn.
