Chairman & CEO Lyndon Wood (author of ‘Diary of a Fortune Hunter’) is taking the business network to a new level with the official Launch of Sunzu planned for January 2013

The vision is a local global place to do business, learn and share to grow.

Focusing on ‘we’ rather than ‘me’  Lyndon explains his plans for the new platform.:

I acquired Ecademy on the 26th July 2012 and the one thing that has driven me is my belief in creating something special for the business community around the world, in fact I am extremely passionate about it and somewhat obsessed by achieving it.

The times here are very exciting and I am really looking forward to the future because I strongly feel that as a collaboration around the world we can change the economy for the better and be the proper business resource that is so much needed.

This is a brand new platform with some great functions and uniqueness not found anywhere else and that will really assist business.

The change that is happening will benefit business owners globally by providing guidance, help, offline gatherings, trading and the many SEO benefits we already receive and a lot more.

The members we have, and will be growing even further are start-ups, micro businesses with up to 15 employees and the more established business owner.

Autumn Gardening Tips

The seasons are a-changing and it is getting nippy out there! Although things in the garden might be heading towards a rather inactive period, a bit of lawn maintenance now could prevent issues later. Prevention is better than the cure, as they say!

It’s important to get the lawn mowed before the frost and colder temperatures set in. Aim to have the cut approximately 2 ½ inches in height and check your blades before you mow as blunt blades tear the grass instead of cutting them.

If your garden is anything like ours then you’ll be raking leaves at least once a week! It is important to clear the leaves from your grass. The easiest thing to do is rake in a pile and then gather in a compostable bag. We have a variety of sizes in our GreenSax range to choose from so if you’ve an orchard full of trees then the bigger bags would be best!

Now is also the best time to fertilise your lawn. To ensure that it gets the best of the fertiliser, use a garden fork to create small holes in your lawn. It is best to try to get the lawn fertilised before the weather becomes very wet.

Similarly, if you’ve got any moss in your lawn, it is recommended to remove the moss before the heavy rain arrives. We produce a product called Moss Off which is a 100% chemical free but very effective when it comes to combating moss. It must be applied when the weather is good as it needs time to dry in order to work.

Have any brown patches where the grass did not thrive? Reseeding now means the seed will germinate ahead of winter and give a thicker, denser blade which will lead to a healthier lawn come Spring! Act now and you can have a beautifully lush lawn next summer.

MossOff is a completely natural product available in a ready-to-use spray or a super concentrate for treating large areas.

Yes, you can use MossOff anywhere, even in lawns and on the edges of your car windows. No, it won’t harm people, plants, animals or grass. Yes, it works quickly and no, it contains no chemicals whatsoever.
