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.

Planting a new tree in a conservation area
Oldfeller replied to Fireship's topic in Trees and the Law
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. - Today

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.

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

Planting a new tree in a conservation area

Doesn't need pp ,but one thing is if it is a new build they put alot of caveats on the properties ,even dating back to the 1980s. So check with the house builder as some of these tossers dictate everything -
The conservation area does not place any restrictions on tree planting. But be aware that once above 7.5cm stem diameter, measured at 1.5m above ground, it will be subject to CA requirements. You will then need to give six weeks notifice to the council prior to any work to the tree. To avoid future problems be very sure there is sufficient space for the tree to grow to maturity.

Morning all. We're on standby for storm Floris so was at the yard for a bit yesterday to get stuff ready. I expect there'll be some damage with everything being in leaf. Won't be doing much today, some chores and visit the cafe will be enough I think. Have a good one folks.

I haven't known one bounce back from the description you give.

just looked at a friends monkey puzzle, probably 30 to 40ft, and about 75% of the branches had gone brown, i couldnt see anything that had obviously caused it, what are the chances of it bouncing back, i dont have much experience of these trees. thanks carl
