Alison Levey: I have been writing about my garden on ‘The BlackberryGarden’ blog since 2011. I am an amateur and somewhat obsessed gardener and I am based in Leicester. I write about my own garden and what inspires me to garden: gardens I have visited, plant fairs and garden shows. I also review garden related books and products. The Blackberry Garden is not a ‘how to’ blog, the aim is to talk more about the enjoyment of gardening and it is read by people who garden and people who do not, all readers and followers are very welcome.

Product Review: Gtech Cordless Lawnmower

I was recently asked whether I would like to trial Gtech's new cordless lawnmower . When I bought my current lawnmower (an electric flymo) just over a year ago, at that time I looked at cordless ones but to be frank I did not know anyone who had one and I did not want to risk that amount of money on something that might not cope with my garden. Regular readers will know that I do have a fair amount of lawn so it was with genuine interest that I agreed to trial the mower. The mower arrived in a big box and the first job is to charge the battery. Did I say battery? Sorry, I mean flux capacitor. Oh come on, it is a flux capacitor, I don't care what you say! The machine itself is not too heavy and has rather jazzy bright green bits. It's a lawn mower, it's never going to look that sexy but for a lawnmower I can say I thought it looked very lawnmowery. I did like the jazzy green bits. I liked the green safety key a lot. This is a very good safety featur...

Product Review: the Hydria all in one battery powered fountain

Yes, this fountain is battery powered and when the nice people from Hydria emailed me and asked if I would like one to review I could not say yes fast enough, I was intrigued. I have not paid for this product nor have I been paid to write this review. My words and opinions are entirely my own. Regular readers will know that I am not keen having electric wires trailing around the garden and that I am a big fan of solar lights etc. So this fountain which is battery powered was very interesting to me. The fountain arrived in a rather smart looking box. I quickly opened it up. This fountain kit is designed to sit in any pot of 30cm diameter and around 20 cm deep. The pot you use can of course be larger than this. You will just need to add more bedding materials to keep it at the level you want and to keep it stable/level. If you have not got a pot already they have a n ice offer that when you buy one you get a 20% voucher to buy a pot from a B...

Product Review: Honda izy-ON HRG 466 XB cordless lawnmover and HHT Cordless Brushcutter

Regular readers may recall that last year I went to the launch of the Honda Cordless Garde n range. It was a great day and I got to try various different Honda mowers, and hedgetrimmers and strimmers. I was therefore delighted when I received an email asking me if I would like to have the loan of some equipment to trial and review. I quickly said yes. I have to be transparent and say that I have not paid for these items. I have not be paid to write this review and my words and opinions are, as ever, my own. The first item I chose to review was the HHT Cordless Brushcutter. This is a fabulous piece of kit. The same battery fits the brushcutter and the mower which is always a good thing as it means that you do not need to buy lots of different batteries. The battery and charger are sold separately so you must remember to buy at least one. Honda sent me the 6HA battery with the equipment. The batteries come in three sizes: 4, 6...
