With the deluge of new products flooding onto the gardening market every year we feel, here at Mowdirect, that we should offer some guidance as to which products are worth a closer look. In this blog we will run through the new models from the 2009 range of lawn and garden products from Bosch, the esteemed German appliance manufacturer. Ever since their beginnings in Stuttgart, 1886, Bosch have led the way with innovative electrical solutions to many a domestic chore.

Many of you will have noticed recently that the days are shorter, the temperature is dropping and that Christmas is only just around the corner. More important to all of you with gardens, large or small, is the annual tidy before putting your gardens into sleep mode until next spring. This will of course include the pruning and trimming back of hedges and trees, the clearing up of leaves and digging up of diseased or dying plants. However, all of this industrious work creates a whole new problem; waste and what to do with it. We cannot simply leave it lying in our gardens creating an unsightly mess and of course if we ask for our local authority to take it away we simply add to the landfill problem afflicting the UK. Our best alternative is of course to recycle and reuse this so called waste and turn it into one of the most valuable commodities in your garden - good compost. How will we do this you ask?
