Getting Rid of Moss

A gardener we know came up with a suggestion about killing moss on a path. He suggested sprinkling the area with soap powder! So we tried it. Yes, the moss went brown but it still meant the remains had to be removed with a scraper or a stiff bristled brush. But that is the problem with moss no matter what you use. You could try blasting it away with a pressure washer or use a product like Brintons Patio Magic and let nature do the rest. But you'll still have to use a brush afterwards!
If you have any tips on gardening that you know work and you'd like to share them just email mortens@btconnect.com and we'll publish them on our blog.
Happy gardening.

Proxxon and Patience

This beautiful caravan was created for Mortens by one of our customers using Proxxon tools. Everything - and we mean everything - has been made by hand. We can only imagine the time and patience it must have taken and thank the customer so very much for a wonderful and much admired gift for our 75th Anniversary.
This work of art took about 600 hours - incredible!
A Caravan of delights - all made by hand



Just a few more pictures of the skill and etail involved in a craft that requires a steady hand and an eye for detail!
