I am so sorry to hear this. I love your products. I will purchase something now.

Hi Brian,
As we’re all aware, funds are tight these days. Although I have purchased from you recently, there are many more items I’d love to have, if it was possible financially.
Certainly, I’d be dropping some social media. I always purchase directly from your website and hopefully others will switch to that too. It’s your emails that always prompt me to purchase, not Instagram and never FB!
I hope you have a turnaround after this announcement and can continue to succeed.

Hi guys. It’s so sad to get to this point, and with the economy so crappy. I would like to buy more but as an aged pensioner I don’t have spare cash; therefore I use Zip (which I prefer as it’s just one payment per fortnight) and Afterpay (x 4 equal payments from date of purchase). I won’t touch PayPal from their past devious practices. However fees for these privileges may be more than the effort to maintain, but I’m not alone in needing a pay later option. Keep your chins up – YOU ARE FAR FROM OVER!

I for one would be happy if you cut down on your Facebook and Google advertising as I get inundated with ads. I know it is for people who don’t know you exist, but for those of us that have bought items over the years it does get annoying. I prefer your newsletters advising of your stock. Like someone said previously, ask your existing customers to refer you on to their friends and family. Of all the items I’ve purchased, only the seeds were hit and miss! But that’s to be expected! Or it could just be my lousy gardening skills! Good luck for the future.

Thank you so much for your fabulous service which I have enjoyed and been grateful for several times (every time I’ve placed an order) since your early days… What a wonderful service you provide and have done from the start… I still have and use my power planter!

I envision enjoying this relationship long into the future with an ever expanding range of top quality products on offer… and the reliably lovely service I’ve become accustomed to for so long.

Can I please suggest that you scrap the internet advertising budget and simply ask we who will love to help and support you, to spread the word for you?

That’s just as valuable as making purchases and sometimes exponentially even more so. Just a thought. Word of mouth from one to another is a powerful tool.

Grateful to all of you for all you have done and all you will do.

Sad to hear. I’ll try and buy a few products over time.

Hi Brian and family, sorry to hear the news in the video, first purchase from you I think was the power planter complete set, still going strong although not as much use as it should get. Most recently the electronic pest scared (not the right title!) as a mystery climbing animal is getting into our fenced backyard and leaving visiting cards …. Haven’t set it up outside yet but the idea looks perfect. Happy if you ditch Facebook ad Google if you need to, your website would always be first point of call for gardening things. As you said there is so much cheap stuff out there that is dead before a month old, really going off FB purchases after being caught by a number of dodgy companies. Best wishes, hope you pull out of the hole!, regards, Mark, Sunshine Coast

Oh no! I’m so sorry to hear that you’re in such trouble! I’m all to happy to commit to purchasing a few times a year, and I’ll definitely go and buy something now.
