Husqvarna 64


If you are thinking of buying a new lawnmower then consider a manual mower, save yourself some money and get fit at the same time. I have been looking for myself and the best I have found is the Husqvarna 64. No fuel to buy for the mower, just a drink for the operator when they are done.

If there are any manual lawn mowers out there that you think are better please let me know.

Britains only wind turbine plant to close


Vestas is to shut down its Isle of Wight factory in the face of collapsing demand from a wind-farming industry hobbled by the recession and red tape

The UK's only wind turbine manufact­uring plant is to close, dealing a humili­ating blow to the government's promise to support low-carbon industries.

Vestas, the world's biggest wind energy group, said today that it would close its Isle of Wight facility, which employs about 700 people and makes blades for wind farms in the US.

Zero's Electric Motorcycle


If I was aloud to have a motorcycle for getting about day to day this would be it.

The Zero S is a high performance supermoto motorcycle that is revolutionary because it is fully electric. Imagine instant torque and power from a standstill. Imagine smooth acceleration as you race out of turns. Then, imagine never needing to stop at the gas station.

Developed to aggressively take on urban environments and encourage the occasional detour, the Zero S integrates revolutionary technology with innovative motorcycle design. Using Zero Motorcycles’ proprietary Z-Force power pack and aircraft grade alloy frame, the Zero S features an industry leading power-to-weight ratio that increases its range and maneuverability.

Instant acceleration and a lightweight design enable the Zero S to take on any city street, hill or obstacle. Whether accelerating onto the highway or out of the turns, the Zero S is designed for performance.

Good Energy

Good Energy have increased the rate they pay their customers for generating electriclty. This is the way all energy companies should be heading and with the prospect of feed in tariffs for the UK can only be good news for everyone.

Good Energy HomeGen customer AJ Snell said: "I installed my solar PV panels knowing they were a long-term investment and the real incentives were to cut my carbon footprint and become more self sufficient. Now I'm getting 15p for every unit of electricity I generate it will reduce my electricity bills and payback period even more."

Rotational Composter

The Joraform style of composters are revolutionary, we have had one for over a year now and we have reduced our waste to the wheelie bin by half. The best thing is the compost is ready to go back onto the garden in about four to eight weeks, all you need is some sawdust or wood pellets to help the process and you get back lovely free compost for the garden.
