Around here, Bradford, I guess you would expect 5-10 per hour.
I would be inclined to get a fixed price for clearing and getting the garden

Hi All

I know this is probably a thread that has been asked before and for
this i apologise. I have tried to access the archive but had no luck so
here goes!!!

Can anyone advise me as to how much a good gardener should cost to tidy
a small garden as it is a bit overgrown, and then routinely cut it and
keep it generally tidy, weeding etc.

The garden is about 5m by 10m and is about 2/3 lawn and the rest is a
kind of box hedge about 60cm high and then beds to the other 3 sides.

It is for my mother who lives in the Bradford region (West Yorkshire)
and I want her to get a good professional in who will take everything
away and make a nice job of it.

Any ideas of cost would be really appreciated so i can help her get
somebody good.


Could you try to post directly to and from urg, please? Garden Banter does
not have permission from most people here to use their posts and is simply
living off the efforts of others. I don't get garden banter posts at all,
and I doubt I'm the only one so it might be more helpful to you now and in
the future to use urg directly, if you can.

You can stop seeing them by using a killfile,
or similar. I don't think you can't stop them
being posted. Your using Outbreak Distress, I
see - there may be a "tools-rules wizard"
option.

Message rules: it's clunky, and I can't get it to work properly.
And since gb isn't part of Usenet, I don't think you can even
subscribe to it via OE -- which you have to do in order to rule it
out. (I don't feel the need to exclude the few gb messages anyhow, so
it's academic for me.)

Highlight (single click) any post from a gardenbanter
poster in the List Window

say lawnmowerman for the sake of argument

Choose the Message menu at the top

Choose [Create Rule From Message]

In the top pane, tick the box

[ ] Where the From line contains people

That will then show the posters' name in blue say
'

When you pass the cursor over the name and click it, you can then
change or add to it. In the text window that pops up, just type
@gardenbanter.co.uk, click the [add] button and
"or @gardenbanter.co.uk" will be added to the killfile list.

Then in the second pane, choose the action by clicking on the
[ ] delete it box

this will delete (killfile) both lawnmower man and all the
other gardenbanter posts.

I should add, you'll need to Reset the NewsGroup - OE
main menu - right click on the particular newsgroup -
choose properties at the bottom of that menu -
then local file tab at the top - and then [reset]

and then reload the last 300 headers or messages
or whatever, to get rid of any you've already
downloaded.
