[@garycumberland5922]

brilliant thank you you have made the lads day

[@THETATTOOGARDENER83]

Your very welcome I was very touched when you told me your story and really wanted to give the young man a shout out 🙌🏼

[@albe013]

a good handy set up have been gardening since the age of 10 that is now 46 years have practically done everything to do with gardening maintence have also had my own gardencentre/nursery have used almost every make and type of gardening tool you can think of i always believed in having the right tool for the job keep things well maintained and sharp and buy the best tools you can afford that is why alot of my tools are Makita with Ryobi,stihl,Husqvarna ,Rover and Hayter

[@THETATTOOGARDENER83]

That’s a lot of experience and I completely agree you pay more for better tools but they do a great job Thank you for watching hope your having a lovely Christmas

[@gorehorse7953]

Cant say ive ever seen a gardener using a van here in Australia. We all use trailers hooked up to our utes. We also put 2 stroke in the green and unleaded in the red

[@THETATTOOGARDENER83]

It’s funny it’s the other way round in the uk all vans hardly any pic ups lol

[@yourherosteve]

If I had a pick up I couldn't cut back gardens. I'd be running back all the time to check no junkie has made off with my tools 😂

[@pablo9364]

Very nice van and set up

[@THETATTOOGARDENER83]

Thank you mate

Very Nice set up, also good sign writing on your van.

It’s been a pain but I’m out doing hedges today which is awesome Thanks for watching guys

I feel your pain spent the whole day today cutting hedges it rained all day.

Thanks for the tour. Here in the USA everybody runs big trucks and trailers. I think I'll go with a van if my truck kicks the bucket as I think it will suite my needs better as a solo gardener. I very rarely have to haul waste.

[@THETATTOOGARDENER83]

I wish we had more bigger trucks in the uk problem is our roads are quite narrow compared to the USA Have a great day and thank you for watching 🫶🏻

Great video, your van is very tidy🥰 very organised

[@THETATTOOGARDENER83]

Thank you well could be better with shelving but I like the space Thank you for watching 🙂

[@TKG]

just found your channel, loved the custom, had a loaner while my dispatch was off the road, it would be the only van I would have if not the dispatch.

[@THETATTOOGARDENER83]

Hi thanks for joining I love the custom the dispatch is another great van I couldn’t decide so ended up going with some advise from an AA driver who said the 2.2 transit was best

[@TKG]

@@THETATTOOGARDENER83 you made a good choice, I like the feel of the dispatch but like the practicality of the custom, more room in the back without compromising the cab

[@THETATTOOGARDENER83]

@@TKG just subscribed to your channel I love Scotland one of my favourite places to visit in the UK My friends live in Edinburgh we sometimes fly up from Gatwick Are you in Scotland just the kilted gardener made me presume I could be wrong 😂

[@nicksteadman8705]

I’m here from Rob’s Maxwells grass cutting services, I use to be a gardener in Lincolnshire, your van is a lot tidy than mine ever was

[@THETATTOOGARDENER83]

Lol I gave it a quick tidy before I filmed instead of sweeping jumped in the back with the blower on tick over cleaned in seconds 😂 Thanks for watching mate rob is a legend 🙌🏼

[@stephenlaw1782]

Best tip I’ve received recently is beware of the new E10 unleaded fuel Shelf life of 3 weeks and attracts moisture Don’t leave old fuel in machines over winter Also either use dearer E5 fuel or/and ad fuel fit from briggs & Stratton

[@THETATTOOGARDENER83]

I heard this about a year ago someone said to me in the mower shop not to buy the cheap stuff to run on the super unleaded/V POWER stuff and ever since my machines have been better Hopefully more people are made aware of this just incase they don’t know Thanks for watching Stephen 🙌🏼

[@JohnSheerin-v2b]

Nice setup mate. Very similar to mine. Been a maintenance gardener for 15 +years, and you just get to know what should go where. Enjoy your posts. Keep em coming buddy. Thanks. 💚

[@JohnSheerin-v2b]

@@THETATTOOGARDENER83 Quick tip about your fuel. I go for the higher octane unleaded for my tools, think it improves there performance. Mind you I think your mainly battery powered, right?

[@Jordan.E]

Nice set up 👍🏾 mine looks similar with bungee cables holding everything in place, eventually I want to use hooks and shelves but I'll add them bit by bit

[@THETATTOOGARDENER83]

Yeah same the shelving is quite expensive so I’m time I e always got other bits to buy like machinery and parts etc

[@farmermatt2]

Hello how’s it going great video of your van set up I was wondering have you ever tried using an orchard ladder a much safer way and how do you use your little green leaf pick it up device cheers

[@THETATTOOGARDENER83]

There quite easy to use buddy I’m sure I’ve used them in a few videos when hedge cutting it easy to watch than explain but really easy and save your back from bending over like the big hand leaf collectors

[@giff1669]

Hello- do you have a ramp to help getting the mower in? Good attitude to be being frustrated at not being able to work. You will be fine

[@THETATTOOGARDENER83]

Yes sorry should have said it’s the wooden on next to my ladder Looking forward to spring thankfully rest of the week seems better so I’ll be out working and filming today 🤞🏼

[@danlaflamme9372]

Van? Is choice for Gardner's ! Not pic up? Is it to prevent theft? Short on storage?

[@THETATTOOGARDENER83]

Alittle bit of that mate theft is huge over here you have to be careful and put extra locks on your van etc however these thief’s will always find a way in they aren’t scared to take a man’s livelihood Vans are slightly better than pick ups over here

[@russellpetrie119]

do you know your passenger side seat has storage underneath for smaller items like hand tools and strimmer line etc

[@THETATTOOGARDENER83]

I found it by mistake when putting the waterproof seat covers on hand my little space

@@THETATTOOGARDENER83 its amasing how many people dont know about it defo a space saver i think theres a hole in the bulk head so you can slide a ladder through it and long stuff

Hey pete whats that wolf garten tool...id that for weeding beds?

[@THETATTOOGARDENER83]

Hi David, in the summer months and the dry months, you want to be using a flat hoe and then in the winter months just for lightly turning over the soil you want the prong hoe to avoid damaging bulbs

[@davegill7614]

@THETATTOOGARDENER83 thanks Pete 😊

[@danlaflamme9372]

Those "wast bags" where do u get them..I use green or those new orange bins...ty

[@THETATTOOGARDENER83]

Go to a local builders merchants and see if they have anything like that Not sure if it’s different in the US In the uk sand and aggregates get delivered in ton bags

Your van looks very much like mine, organised chaos! I have a Nissan NV200, a bit smaller, but amazing what you can fit in it!👍Chap. I worked for gardening companies for many years, but wasn't happy with the way they were run. Took the plunge and went self employed about 12 years ago. Best thing I ever did! It's a big leap, so absolute respect to you young man!
