How do you find working as a gardener - like it?
I'm thinking of doing the same myself, but I worry about getting
customers.
I love it ... working oudoors ( especially with weather at moment )
Snip good advice.
Where do you live if I can be of any further help let me know
Good reading is * Starting your own Gardening Business * by Paul Power
Thanks for the advice. I'm sick of my job currently, and a mate does a
bit of gardening, all he does is dig and plant, no mowing etc, and he
reckons there is so much work around that he turns down 20 hours a week.
I live in Leicester.
I have put a lot of thought into it, but it is taking the first step
that is the most daunting - I've grown comfy with a monthly (low) wage,
and worry about getting enough work to make a go of it, but I'm not one
for sitting on my arse, so should be OK.
As well as the gardening/mowing/tree trimming etc, I'd do outside taps,
fencing and any other jobs people need doing. Quality is what I'll be
promoting, as well as full insurance and being registered - I'm sure
more work can be had by making sure the customer knows this is a legit
business.
Thanks
Alan
