Hi from Chris

[Chris EasyLife]

Hi Im Chris 32 years young married father of one from oxfordshire, im a landscaper by trade have been since i was 18, Im the owner of (easy life ground maintenance).
I started my own business 2 years ago and its going nicely Im currently building a show garden at Hampton Court for the flower show starting in july which im very proud to have been asked to do, if you are going im building the very first night garden at the show for cube lighting to show off there range of lights and to show people a garden is not just to be enjoyed in the day.

After reading all the above you would think im a seasoned pro in growing well no im completley new to growing most of my work is based on hard landscaping and property garden maintenance of course i know when to prune when to cut plant but the growing part has always been done by wholesale growers.
Ive always wanted to have a veg patch and plant growing area but allotments are very hard to get hold of now as so many people are steering away from increasing supermarket prices and poor quality, but this week ive been very lucky to be in the right place at the right time with one of my customers she has a very big place and at the bottom of her land is an old overgrown big nusery with 2 politunnels one of which is a 60ft by 15ft the other a 15ft by 15ft with a massive fully netted outdoor grow area she was talking about dismantling the whole lot and skipping it, after she devorced her husband there has been no use for it so i asked if she would be ok with me taking it on she was delighted with me restoring it.
There you go im now renting the area i started work today first job finding the tunnels which were floor to roof with brambles fortunatly ive just bought a new high grass bramble mulcher for my tractor unit which breezed through the 8ft tall thickage and munched it to very small mulch .

The start of the whole new thing for me i hope im in the right place to get advise on this new adventure and i will be more than happy to advise the diy landscapers out there
