“I would strongly advise anyone not to buy the Catwatch Cat deterrent from this company. The company claim it is approved by rspb the truth is it does not work and is not effective. It is the most expensive Cat deterrent on the market so it will hurt you in the pocket . A few pounds fair enough but this cat deterrent is the most expensive on the market so do not be deceived or misled . I strongly advise stay clear of this company and deal with a honest reputable company ! I have passed this on to trading standards .”

Thanks for the message and sorry you are not happy with the Catwatch. It is more expensive than others on the market, but normally it works very well. Please feel free to return the until for a full refund (I can supply a FREEPOST address, so no postage) if you are not happy and will return it to the manufacturer to see why it was not working. Kind regards Jon @ Green Gardener

Hi David - Thanks for the message and I remember this one and I posted the replacements, so I know the right product went, which prompted me to check our stock and one of my colleagues has attached the wrong label to the correct product - sorry. Thanks for bringing this to my attention and I have now removed the labels. The good news is that all 4kg of lawn fertiliser you have is the correct Autumn Fertiliser, so please go ahead and apply at 35g per sqm and any you do not use this year will keep until next year. Kind regards Jon @ Green Gardener

“I purchased a box tree moth trap because having done my research they said that theirs lasted longer than any other make, which would mean that I wouldn't have to remember to change the lure every 6 weeks. I set up the trap but despite there being plenty of moths in the garden none were being trapped. I sent an email asking for advice about the best height to hang the trap but didn't ever get a reply. As there were so many moths in the garden I decided to buy a different make of moth trap. The moths seem to come in waves and the Green Gardener trap caught one compared to the other trap which caught 5, and they were situated very close to each other. I then sent another email to Green Gardener asking for their comments and if I could return the trap because it clearly wasn't as good as the other trap I had purchased. I still have not had a reply. I was also very disappointed to see that on their website they are selling the trap at around £27 but on Amazon they have reduced their price to £19.99. So I am disappointed in the price, the performance of the trap and the lack of follow up care from Green Gardener.”

To : Cate O From : Jonathan Thanks for the message and sorry you have not had a good experience with the trap. I am not sure who you have been contacting at Green Gardener but this is the first I am hearing about this. In answer to your comments, I would love to talk to you about the experience with the trap as all the other feedback has been very encouraging, Can you call me on 01394 420922 or email me your number (jon@greengardener.co.uk) and I will ring you? We only sell the long life lure on Amazon so it is £19.99 but you do not get a trap included ONLY the lure and this is MORE expensive than the lure only on Green Gardener i.e. we sell it for £18.99. I would rather try and work out why it was not working but I am happy for you to return it for a refund but please email me (again jon@greengardener.co.uk) and I will forward you a FREEPOST label. Kind regards Jon @ Green Gardener 01394 420922

“despite vigorously stirring contents of pack in 4 litres of water the "powder" formed a gelatinous suspension and when 500 cc of this solution was added to the watering can it blocked the rose and so was unusable and could not be sprinkled. So it just had to be thrown about with a jug”

“Green Gardener says that A.bipunctata is an indigenous ladybird. This is incorrect. A native of North America, this ladybird competes with the UK native C.Septempunctata which is the species you should be supplying.”

Thanks for the message and I have tried to contact you several times but the email you provided is being rejected and your phone number is not recognised, so fingers crossed you will get this reply? You have ordered from Canada but we are UK based and cannot send your order to Canada (sorry). I have been trying to contact you since then to let you know that we would not be able to send it and have ALREADY issued a full refund. Kind regards Jon @ Green Gardener

To : Tim Desmond, Thanks for the review and I have tried to contact you several times about this order but I am not getting any replies to my emails and you did not include a phone number with the order? We are UK based and we include free postage to the UK but Ireland costs considerably more to post. We can send your order to Ireland provided your post is reliable. If your post is OK then it would cost and extra £5.00 postage. If your post is reliable enough and you want to proceed, please can you ring us on 01394 420922, so we can charge the extra postage on a debit/ credit card (as you paid by Paypal there is no way to add it to the existing order). N.B. If you decide to go ahead, please can you also confirm the full address as I have no way of checking it with our UK address recognition system .

“I tried the ant nematodes on a large number of nests in quite large lawns and all it seems to have done is encourage the ants to get even more active starting new outlets. Shall now get some proper chemical ant killer rather than "dissauder".”

“I am very upset to be responsible for allowing the killing of 50 live Lady birds which I ordered through amazon - they were all dead at time of arrival. I will reverse my payment.”

Thanks for the message and apologies for the dead ladybirds. It is very unusual for them all to be dead but we do chill them before packing to put them in a state of hibernation, so try popping them somewhere warm and they should wake up. We send hundreds of packs of ladybirds out each week with very little trouble. They are posted by 1st class post for next day delivery, we include food and they are packaged in non-crushable containers and padded envelopes, so normally they arrive fine. Obviously if they are dead, I would have replaced them or refunded your money but if you have already initiated the reversal I will have to wait for Amazon to organise this, so I will keep an eye out for it. Apologies again for the dead ladybirds. Jon @ Green Gardener

Thanks for the message and apologies for the dead ladybirds. They are normally very reliable and we normally only have a problem if there is a delay in the post. I have not had any communication regarding "a deal", but if they turned up dead, I will of course replace them. Please contact me direct jon@greengardener.co.uk or on 01394 420922 with the order details and I will look into it. Jon @ Green Gardener

“I ordered 25 ladybirds. They arrived 5 days late, with only 3 surviving. I understand that the problem may have been with the postal system but it has put me off buying ladybirds this way. I give you the one star because you gave my money back straight away, no quibble.”

There was a small delay due to huge demand, but your order should have arrived by now. Even more fresh stocks are due in tomorrow, so we should have them in stock again tomorrow (Tuesday 14th March). Apologies for the delay. Jonathan @ Green Gardener

From : Jonathan – jon@greengardener.co.uk Thanks for the message and apologies for the dead ladybirds. The packaging is well tested and it normally gives us very good results and despite sending out hundreds of lots a week I get very few problems. Ladybirds are veracious predators and sometimes they will turn on each other and eat each other, so I suspect that is what happened this time. Please email me and I can either refund or replace them. Yours sincerely and apologies again Jonathan Green Gardener www.greengardener.co.uk

“Purchased ladybugs which all died the day after I released them, this could easily be due to something I have done rather than quality of ones sent but have marked as poor due to the fact no one has replied to my e-mail querying why it may have happened. £29.98 waste of money for me!”
