The vigne verte at the back of the house goes a really deep red/purple.

😄 Yes then. 🫡

Sorry Alex, bored now. Another time maybe.

How long before it goes titsup again? and what will all the pro palestine find to do now?

Have you mysteriously found yourself recommending more fells than prunes in the last couple of years?

I’ll be retired, so collecting on that might be problematic.

Getting paid twice when it’s rotting to bits and needs to come down in five years.

Grown outside, towards the middle of October. It's wrong. But they tasted good.

I've done a bit of research and general conclusion seems to be that propyzamide is probably less bad than glyphosate - both for the environment and for people. Do you guys agree?

Got up early to go to a hedgelaying competition. It’s my birthday. I’m thirty six and a half.

Not a concern currently but in a year or two I imagine it could spread quite far in. There were two small limbs that went straight across neighbours garden and they wanted them off. The owner and the neighbour on the other side wanted the big one off, it looks like it fills the hole but it came out a long way, I remember it being more horizontal than the photo suggests. Found an old pic from March 23, so not fully green. This is last week. The right most limb I am thinking of bringing right down to the first major growth rather than the V union above. If it is eventually removed, you can be certain something will be planted in its place. We are also right behind a birch woodland. There were planted around the same time, perhaps 1975-1980. Unless its big heavy logs, cut and chuck is somewhat faster in my experience and also avoids more cutting on the ground. I havent bought any more gear yet, rigging will be off steel biners, slings tied with the rigging rope ends. Seems I lost my blue dmm sling last week. Might use a pulley on the first anchor to spread it better to the main stem. Also might use a Kong eight for the friction this time. Think I'd prefer my climbing lines up top and out of the way. Drop zone is better to the right. Interesting stuff, cant quite visulise it but I like having the tops swinging into tension rather than dropping straight down.

All my machines have been on it from new, its also better for your lungs and the working environment .

Morning all, Lazy start then heading home. Back to work soon. Happy Friday.

Chainsaws are more expensive than an engine on a mower, genset and smaller plant , last time I used brigs and Stratton fuel stabiliser I put one shot to 20 litres of fuel in the bottom of a jerry can ,then filled it up with top end petrol . It still did not stop the dumper (honder engine) carb from buggering up ,even though I brim the machine. Its not as good as it claims, then u have the fecking around on site and a shite bottle of crap that didnt work. Yes I did try it in other machines. Diesel machines are another chalice of 💩. But they've seemed to have got better or should I say diesel has . But ultimately machines font like being stood up and not being used. I use aspen on anything and everything , its in the chipper, dumper, chainsaws - if people think its cost prohibitive then you really need to look at your pricing structure and work out cheap fuel versus down time, carbs and sized engines .

How's your Yoof getting on Les?

Hi, If I'm going to put a clearing saw blade on a brushcutter (fs460) but only have the brushcutter ticket, what will HSE say about this if there is an accident? Thanks for any advice or previous experience.
