Cut , split and dry it, it'll be fine

Thanks.Think I'll give those a go for next season. All the hill farmers up here seem to wear Kaiwaka gear but it's bloody expensive. It's thorn and barbed wire damage that stops me wearing waterproofs. The hateful tangled hedge I'm working on now has a fence so close that I'm wearing an old tattered pair of work trousers rather than rip my chainsaw trousers to bits. But for the price of those Sip jackets I'd be prepared to give them a go. Shame they don't seem to make the trousers to go with them.

My sip keiu seems to do the business. Been out all day in the rain hedgelaying and remained dry. If your sweating maybe a wicking base layer and then coat, fleece addition if it's cold.

Very true, if they send those astronauts to the moon tho I'm sure Elon will have hit the jackpot.

True dat

None of these suggestions will help Elon get wealthier though

Fair enough, what about one of those ubiquity dish repeaters. There's a Australian farmer using them for remote water station monitoring with camera etc.

Yeah had those in the old house. Don't work in the office due to how the electrician wired the electrics to the garden.

Have you tried one of those internet via your plug dongles ?. Put one in a few years back for an old boss, think it uses the earth terminal and some witchcraft.

i get netflix free anyway. I did just call them up though as im out of contract and they quoted £59. I pay extra as I have 3 boosters running in line to get high speed fibre to my office at the end of the garden.

Great news thanks

Burns fine, just needs drying like everything else. If you have an open fireplace make sure you have an adequate fireguard as it woll spit

Hi got a cut down willow tree i believe l. any advice on using it for firewood?

Sounds like someone is getting a raw deal without a reach around or dinner. Have a look at sky you might even get Netflix thrown in as a sweetener

Nope, just the fastest option they have. To be honest though. every time the speed goes up ive not really noticed any difference. You only need to speed to reach a certain level to stream...beyond that seems a waste unless you're downloading and uploading huge files constantly. Most people aren't

I hope you have TV and other things as part of that?

I cannot answer about starlink but I have fibre to the premises for a week or so now and I bought a VOIP Analogue to Telephone Adapter (grandstream HT812 as my provider advised against some cheaper ones) to keep my landline number and it just seems to work. There are various divert and voicemail options, that I have not investigated, all for an additional £4/month.

This is my home address but I also have a nearby allotment. Please call for which one. The allotment site is locked but has a communal dump site and can take multiple loads.

im thinking about switching. Our BT is £75 a month at the moment...i'd rather pay my money to someone looking to do good in the world.

I'm interested in the Starlink option. My broadband with BT goes up to nearly £40 a month at the end of March and I don't even get a landline. How different is it to a TV satellite dish? My house is surrounded by trees and TV sats don't work very well. I have to use a digital aerial and freeview. Wouldn't want to pull the pin if it isn't going to work.

I wish I could find some decent waterproofs for hedgelaying that are breathable and tough enough that they won't be ripped to bits by thorns on the first day. Impossible quest it seems.

Your best bet will be a Bulldog or Morris hook from an agri-merchant at this short notice. Stihl also make a billhook of sorts, so an agri store that's also a Stihl dealer may offer a choice. None of them will be much good though and you'll need to spend about half a day putting a usable edge on them. If green heart above can sort you out with a working vintage hook that would probably be the best option.

Thatched cottage on corner. Turn onto Henfords Marsh and our big yard is immediately on your left, lots of space for turning and tipping. lLooking for firewood mainly but happy to accept woodchips
