You talk some shit

It wouldn't suprise me if America invaded Poland...

Trump is Trump, meaning any POTUS with any backbone would have given Ukraine long range missiles to match Russian Kinzhall and Iskander missiles. Biden was no better. Germany prevaricating since forever. Only UK and France have given Ukraine long range.

Potus for TDS FFS

Meaning ?

Aye, but Trump is Trump...

Well , the bear is starting to " poke " NATO ......Problem is Ukraine is not a member of NATO . Poland is though ...

I would love to see NATO get involved and smash the fcuk out of Russia and boot them out of Ukraine.

Such a great old field-edge apple tree, thriving whilst rather compromised!

Yes, I am working on loosening the soil mechanically to give the new roots a head start on the turf roots. Mounding is better. I saw a mounding machine with a three-cornered rotor system. Works well, by the look of it. Definitely quicker hand planting then. Thanks.

I see last night that Poland shot down some Russian drone that " strayed " into their air space . One over Lithuania also . It was Dutch F35 air craft that shot them down so NATO involved . Russia denies it at usual .

If you are worried about grass and weeds checking or competing with the tree and don't want to spray it, what about mounding? This is where a digger takes a scoup of turf and soil out and lays it upside down. This makes planting easier and gives the tree a headstart against grass. Its more common for conifers and it does make walking through the wood potentially an ankle breaking experience for a few years.

Apologies if I misunderstood your post, but I think we should start from the viewpoint that it is a tragedy and not that she should have stopped at the first safe country.

If you are down to say 15% on the meter just take the boards indoors if you can a let them slowly finish off drying they will be atuned to your house that way if you dont have the space its either carry on with air dry or find a kiln ,vacume kilns are cool but not many around

Poland says up to four of 19 Russian drones shot down after entering airspace - live updates WWW.BBC.CO.UK Poland's prime minister says "this provocation is incomparably more dangerous" than the previous ones.

In practice yes but the main need is for it to dry evenly so a dry outside doesn't shrink more than the wet inside and crack. Too true Another one!

Found on a dead Spruce stem. Any idea what it could be?

Thanks......Yep, that is one every 3 minutes on av, plus moving stock in and around. £1 a shovel-planted tree, is too tight. Nearer £1.50 minimum

Hi Ringo . I can dry fire wood down to less that 12% moisture here in West Sussex just in a log store in the summer . Come winter it has taken up moisture from the ambient air to around 15% . Still burns but just to illustrate the fact that wood will take up moisture even when under cover .
