I'm 72, if I were 33 I would seriously consider moving to another country, some of the guys on here have done exactly that, they are more qualified to advise you. I don't really care about being called a grumpy old bastard it's par for the course online, but this country is finished, and all indications lead me to think it's gonna get worse. good luck with whatever you choose.

Hens lay eggs, chickens are more KFC.

but in the current way of thinking,, shouldn't you let it decide for itself?

Hi all, I've decided that it's time to call time on my farming career. I've done 10 years, mainly in livestock, predominantly sheep, across different systems, culminating on the (wife's) family farm. But, for various reasons (money vs. hours, family politics etc) I've decided that enough is enough. The question is, what do I do next? Qualifications wise, I've a degree in Agriculture, Conservation and Environmental Management and a rough terrain forklift ticket. At the minute, I'm leaning towards arboriculture- I'm 33 now, so still got a bit of time to get qualifications and experience up. I'm not worried by the weather or hard work and would much rather be active than not. With basic qualifications (CS30&31) what are my realistic chances of employment/earnings? I'd be looking to add CS38,39&40 down the line. Are there other tickets that would increase my chance of employment? I'm South Oxfordshire based. Any advice welcome!

Bloody gatekeeping terms. It's clearly a chicken.

No mate, people tend to use more than is needed which creates more problems as it builds up in the gate mechanism and binds with water/sap. DMM recommend duck oil.

Auger bit, obviously. A helical bit will just use up all your battery warming the wood around the hole. Experience of drilling railway sleepers says be careful against hitting tough wood like buried branch stubs, I nearly broke my wrist when the drill kept rotating but the bit stopped dead. Ideally you need the hole to be not much bigger than the bolt, so keeping the hole straight is crucial. Quite a big ask over 2 feet. Can be awkward up a tree with sometimes no way of pushing on the drill. Use a bit with a small threaded pilot tip they really drag the bit into the wood.

I wouldn't say a 62 year old building was a "new build", privacy has been as it currently is for that time, either it hasn't been a problem for previous owners or they have been prevented by doing as you are inquiring ie; planting a tree to improve your privacy. personally I would make inroads with neighbors as to any problems they may have experienced with the local council or indeed each other, try not to give information as to your tree planting intentions. explore your councils website too, they can differ dependent on areas in regulations and how they implement them. good luck.

Actually not if it's male.

It's comb size. A rooster will be developing a bigger comb by that age, whereas hens combs will still be small, not floppy at all, almost like a toothed ridge on top of the head. In the new pic the brown chick (technically a pullet now I think) looks to have a more developed comb than the white one so could be one of each. You should be able to tell by eye easily if there's a difference between them. A roo might be trying to crow now too. Bit of a comedy performance at that age!

Does anyone know of any traditional uses of Eucalyptus timber, that reflected it's great strength? Thinking about Elm being used for cartwheel naves, hubs, etc. I'm guessing not as there was no technological civilisation in Australia until Britain took over.

I've installed cable braces in similar situations, and it really depends on the union and movement you’re dealing with. Cobra systems are great for dynamic support, especially on older trees where you want to reduce shock. If it’s a high-risk zone, I’d go for a backup static cable too. Always document tension and placement—clients appreciate the detail if issues arise later.

Epsom & Ewell Surrey, lots of doogooders in this area!

Good Morning Everyone.

Ypu seen some of these caveats on new builds ? Have to ask even if they want to put a patio in or a fence up

what area are you in?

It’s easier to ask forgiveness than permission just go ahead and plant it will be covered by the conservation area as soon as you plant

Logs hardwood and soft wood thanks
