Conspiracy theories on here make the Covid thread seem tame in comparison. Gunshot wound, ballistic and medical experts on an arb forum. Who would have thought it. Not one of which I’d imagine has ever had the chance to hear the buzz or crack of a bullet pass by at close range. In case anyone doesnt realise the vascular supply to the head “ and ears” does tend to result in a lot of blood from even a small wound., Maybe show the pic of the ketchup bottle to the kids and widow of the guy killed in the audience.

Polytunnel a jungle. Didn’t stake well enough. Just put a few in at the last possible moment and hoped. Hope is not a strategy. IMG_5871.MOV

Dumper, Ah, the site at the outfarm is good soil on top of basalt rock, like the well is cut into the living rock, right from ground level down, but our homeplace is on rank moss/ pure peat, with blue/ grey clay beneath. Cheers -
Pheasant season is curry season so October or whenever that starts. Shakshuka with my tomatoes and my eggs earlier. Even put it on a clean plate to photograph for here but forgot before eating. Also still haven’t got round to trying that curry peds put me onto. Patiha? Will do when I have a dishwasher on the staff.

I never tried any other saws, didn’t try this 1. I just buy stuff. it’s on a 6t machine. used it today around the yard cutting back some overhang. Just amazing sitting cutting and lifting limbs knowing how much time and effort it saves.

Powertoolworld out of stock prices are mad, I saw a 185mm circ saw for 999 the other day. Came into stock and price went down to about 200 quid.

Fungus appeared this year on twin stem sycamore tree. Growing out of top of old cut wound. Given left hand stem on picture is leaning at appropriate 20 degrees at base is this a problem it terms of the tree becoming unsafe. Tree is approximately 25m tall.

If you’re using quality timber why risk using anything form temu with it?

I had a similar case with an old apple tree that looked half-gone after a bad winter. Pruning back the dead wood and giving it a season with mulch, compost tea, and slow-release organic feed really helped bring it back. Also worth checking for root rot or girdling roots. These trees are tougher than they look once stress is managed right.

I did my first full-fat, name-on-the-door job today. Had a climber in. I bored the life out of him telling him to take it easy, take time, be safe, constantly check himself for tiredness/complacency etc. You know what. I'm going to keep being boring. It's only gardening. Nobody needs to die.

Thanks checked carb and all looks good. Surprised it ran with such low compression.

I like the safety features but a bladed power tool should be respected. If your putting your hands or fingers in a blade with it running, what do you expect to happen? If you rely on the glove, one day you will finish a job, take it off then notice a cut you missed and do it without the glove, and your fingers are gone. When I've let other climbers use my secatuers and told them to respect it, turn it off between cuts or any time they are moving around, only one does. The others thought they knew best, they are accidents waiting to happen, so I wont let them use it any more.

There is no comparison - green climber all day long! Robocut are great machines for the price if you’re mostly doing grass and light bramble day to day however if you want something to do grass, scrub & small diameter saplings it’s the green climber. The green climber are a premium machine and will cost more if they go wrong but the output should far outweigh that.
