SEPTEMBER GARDENING
S
eptember is generally a cooler, windier month than August and the days are noticeably shorter. While there’s not as much to do in the ornamental garden at this time of the year, if you have a fruit or vegetable patch, you’ll be busy reaping the rewards of harvest. It’s also time to get out and start planting spring-flowering bulbs for next year. Make the most of the remaining warmth while you can!
Top jobs this month: 1. Divide herbaceous perennials. 2. Pick autumn raspberries. 3. Collect and sow seed from perennials and hardy annuals. 4. Dig up remaining potatoes before slug damage spoils them. 5. Net ponds before leaf fall gets underway. 6. Keep up with watering of new
plants, using rain or grey water if possible. 7. Start to reduce the frequency of houseplant watering. 8. Clean out cold frames and greenhouses so that they are ready for use in the autumn. 9. Cover leafy vegetable crops with bird-proof netting. 10. Plant spring flowering bulbs.

Testing for Legionella – The Law!
L
egionella, or Legionnaires Disease as it is more commonly known, is a potentially fatal form of Pneumonia. Legionella bacteria are prevalent in most water sources and can become an issue if the environment in which it is in allows it to breed. Everyone is susceptible to infection and, as such, the Law places an obligation on business owners and landlords to assess and manage the risk. In our experience, business owners and landlords are not always aware of the Law regarding their obligations for assessing the risk and testing their environment (business premises/rental property) for Legionella. The Law, however, is very clear and enforcing it has led to a recent fine of £1.8million! Put succinctly the Law states that; Business owners and landlords are responsible for the health, safety and welfare of their employees or any other person(s) in their care (self employed persons and/or tenants). Their duties under the Health & Safety at Work (HSW) Act and the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) law apply to the risks of exposure to Legionella bacteria. The policing of this legislation is overseen by the Health & Safety Executive (HSE). The HSE has issued an Approved Code of Practice (ACoP) for the guidance on the regulations and legislation, specifically for Legionnaires Disease. This code of practice is commonly known as L8 and is available for purchase from the HSE website.
It is clear that the testing of water systems is of paramount importance to ensure, not only adherence to legislation and guidance, but also the health, safety and welfare of anyone in your care at all times. At Smartwater Testing we provide a service to ensure that this testing can be carried out in a simple and affordable way. We provide testing kits that contain easy to follow instructions (we also have an explainer video on our website; www.smartwatertesting.co.uk), sample bottles to collect samples and collection thereof by way of courier. The samples are tested in a UKAS accredited laboratory and the test results are certificated in order to help you comply with current legislation and guidance. Talk to us today to see how we can help you comply with legislation regarding Legionella. For more information see advertisement opposite.
