  3. Hi all, The reason i'm writing a post is due to a disagreement with the neighbours regarding some trees and hedges in the garden. We're trying to solve it amicably but looking like it may go down the council route. I've asked the council for some guidance to help clarify how rulings would work in cases where a "hedge" is a mix of both Deciduous and Evergreen trees, and where the line would be drawn in cases where the hedge is quite long indeed. Unfortunately the council weren't able to give me a clear answer, so was hoping to get some advice on here aswell. I've done a crude MS paint image of the layout of the trees and hedges in question to help demonstrate the situation. In this case all trees and hedges belong to Property 4, and Property 2 and 3 have an issue (understandably we think) with the height of the Laurels and Confiers that are above 2M and overhanging the boundary of the land. I appreciate the .gov guidance states that for it to be considered a 'high hedge', it [i] is formed wholly or predominantly by a line of two or more evergreens. [/i] But the bit we're unclear on is; what about any deciduous trees that are part of this hedge too. In this case it is very likely mostly deciduous if you treat the whole hedge as one and i'd imagine a complaint wouldn't be upheld in this case? Or am I looking at this the wrong way? I.e is it possible for the complaint to be limited to the evergreen trees solely? (laurels and conifers) and leave the deciduous trees entirely excluded and untouched? If viewed this way then the 'hedge' is 100% evergreen.... and i'd imagine the complaint would be upheld? What do people think? can anyone shed some light on this (no pun intended :D) or have been through something similar themselves? Image below, for scale reference, the [i]depth [/i]of the Laurel is about 3Meters or so, cheers Ged

  6. That's right, the wissey isn't connected to the broads, now if I'd have asked about river moorings close to/connected the Ouse he'd have been close.
  7. Ditch Witch will all be way over a tonne Mick. They are an altogether bigger machine than the mini skids. Cast Worky Quad and Sherpa are both good, but won’t have the flow rate to run a flail effectively. Everything is a compromise!

  13. Tree-planting services cost ~Β£1 per tree, and UK/EU providers may charge VAT. Record it as a business expense, and if VAT-registered, you can reclaim it.

  15. Who got the other sets of cheap Sherpa tyres the other day then? I was going to buy them all but seemed rude when other people were wanting them. Long overdue. My current ones are bald as.
  16. I had an early 1x37 which I recall had a similar issue. There was something in the circled part that I adjusted which controlled the return. Sorry can’t be more help as I no longer own the machine
  17. I have had a hard week this week so i let my pal do the final cut of the Ash tree. It`s great sometimes taking it easy.

  19. They do however facilitate 3/8 and 404 chains on the same bar with just a drive sprocket change. wouldn't be my first choice for milling though.
  20. Just wondered if any of you turned up on site to find things were not quite as you expected. Last October went over to our wood to do some clearing to find Anglian Water on the Bridleway looking at a water main leak. The main is buried under one of our drainage ditches and runs right through the wood alongside a bridleway. Wasn't exactly straightforward as somebody had uttered the magic words 'Badgers' so they wouldn't do anything until conservation expert had had a look. It wasn't a badger set only a litte scrape under the concrete. Culvert ran at 90 degrees under bridleway at this point, so they again paniced saying maybe Badgers in there so I pointed ou highly unlikely as the water was pouring through it. They didn't see the major Badger Set 20 yards or so away! Anyway after a couple of days humming and hawing they finally decided to repair it. In fairness they did a good job and left it tidy, they even decided to reinstall the scrape under the concrete.

  21. Thought the same... do you get ELC funding?. Several training providers all over the country who can train you using the scheme. The scheme will only support Level 3 outcomes however we include the basic training as part of our City&Guilds Level 3 qualifications. Alternatively there are various other funded schemes which support the Level 2 elements - talk with your local ELC training provider. We have candidates come to us from all over the country, we are on the Devon/Cornwall border, so let us know if you have access to ELC and want to know what we can offer.

  22. Something different. Bought a mower last autumn in excellent condition, hardly used less than half price of new, was on the Isle of Wight which is why nobody much was interested. Anyway rang dealer who said no problem can get it over to branch near Southampton which he did and threw in box of blades (50) foc. Picked it up on trailer then stuck it under cover. Unloaded it today using my old 384 no trouble lifted it up and then pulled trailer out from under. Took me back to my days as Cranes Engineer in the steelworks.
  23. Last week
