Good Morning Gardeners! February is a good time of year for
you to take stock of what is in your sheds and greenhouses, to clear out the
old and make way for the new. This is not a phrase that I am entirely comfortable
with, but it leads me on nicely to giving you news of something new
from Haxnicks. I am very pleased to tell you that Haxnicks EasyPath
is poised to appear in garden centres any minute now.
It is a fold-out pathway
that goes between rows of vegetables, herbs, flowers or strawberries so that
you can work between the crops without having to use planks of wood and, what’s
more, because it is made of a tough outer weed barrier with a strong internal
structure it keeps the weeds at bay and can also be used to protect wet lawns from wellies
and wheelbarrow traffic.
It has a carry handle and loops along the edge to
peg it down, and when you want to put it away it folds up neatly into a 30cmx30cm
square.

Grandpas are entitled to a little boasting, so
I’ll also tell you that Haxnicks EasyPath won the 2014 New Product Award at
GLEE trade show in September.
It will soon be available at a garden centre near you and
with various online retailers, or you will be able to find it here on our
website. There will be lots more exciting Haxnicks news to come and I will keep you
in touch.
I hope you enjoyed hearing from our new friend The Potty Gardener
earlier this week, I’m just off to visit her and give some advice on seed
potatoes…a 'chit'-chat if you like!
Goodbye for now.
Grandpa Haxnicks
