Dear Gerry,I need to get somebody in to help me in the garden. I am worried about insurance; I have heard horror stories about contractors damaging property or, even worse, injuring themselves, while carrying out work and the property owner being liable. What sort of insurance should a garden maintenance contractor have? Is it acceptable to ask to see proof? And as I may also need a tree surgeon to carry out some specialist work, would the insurance requirements be different again? And finally, how can I find a good company? The ads in the Golden Pages all look the same!Many thanks

We have a raised area by the back door which is ideal for plants. Unfortunately it is also next to the oil burner. Are there any plants that could survive the oil fumes?

Is the midget that torments us in Ireland a member of the mosquito clan?
