What some of our customers say............................................
"Jon, I must say how amazingly effective
your products are.....we have used nematodes for chafer grubs,
lacewings for beech aphids and winter wash on our fruit trees. All
have done the trick just as you claim. Wonderful!" Thanks,
Tony Preece
"Just wanted to say how impressed I am with
your website. A real pleasure to use and definitely a cut above the
rest, a rare treat these days!" Amanda.
"Since using green gardening methods, the
number of birds in the garden has increased. I have a resident wren
in a rose bush, a big increase in sparrows and tits, and this morning
three delightful greenfinches. In addition I have had many more bees,
a hedgehog came to call and occasionally a toad appears. I have now
put a toad house in the garden in case he comes again. I only have a
small suburban garden, but the increase in wildlife is very
noticeable. Think what it would be like if everybody did it." From
Mrs Patterson.
"Dear Jon and all at Green Gardener, I just
wanted to say how brilliant the slug rings are – my delphiniums
and other plants which by now usually have large holes in them are
growing absolutely fantastically well. They really work and I have
been recommending them to all my gardening friends. They even prevent
my cat and the various hedgehog visitors to the garden blundering
through plants you want to protect. I’ve just received a
delivery of the coir pots which are also an excellent product at a
very reasonable price. Several of the ladies at work who grown on
their own plants have expressed an interest so hopefully you’ll
be getting more orders. Finally, we had a very cold night over the
weekend and I was pleased to see my first ladybirds using the
ladybird house I had just put out in the garden. I will be investing
in some other wildlife shelters before the winter. I hope you’ve
got the message your products are brilliant and I wish more people
would consider this way of gardening than pulverising everything with
chemicals. Keep up the good work." From Terry Lane |
