    Rip-off tactics

    I watched the reboot (semi prequel really) and OG 2 and 3 last week. The original tonight and then I shall pass judgement.
  4. Aye. Good gruel vibes. Delicious though. Bit of leek wouldn't have harmed.

    They dont seem very common over here. I've never seen one, but a few arboretums list them so might be worth a visit. Theres a few uk nuserys with them listed if you wanted to buy saplings.
  6. Interesting thread. Cattle are the answer - Galloways and their cousins Belted Galloways are particularly effective - apparently. Farmers trial use of livestock to control bracken without chemicals WWW.FARMINGUK.COM Farmers are trialling the use of livestock to control bracken without chemicals, with an ultimate aim to save costs while restoring habitats. Cattle and Bracken contd. – Bog Myrtle & Peat GALLOWAYFARM.BLOG Having recently written about cattle and bracken control, a brief follow-up is warranted after a walk across the hill last week. In one area where the cows often linger, bracken has been badly... I know that they have used them to very good effect on the Malvern Hills

  8. Just approaching Glencoe Pete, then up to Ardnamurchan.
  9. Hi guys, I'm looking for an experienced climber subby to help with the odd day in Bristol if anyone can help with that. £200 a day. I have a day I want to book in November. Nick

    Jokes???

  11. Thanks folks. Yep, I found that 50 page booklet - I was hoping asking on here might be a shortcut to reading it cover to cover! (especially as it's a non-searchable pdf.) But direct advice from experience is usally better than FC advice imo as well. Or useful alongside. Glyphosate: i'm trying not to use it at all. I'm interested in views on whether Kerb (propyzamide) is any less, or more, evil than glyphosate???

  13. Bit much to take on a job though, you'll need a strong branch to hang a pulley on and someone to drop the weight from a convenient height. Otherwise problem solved👍

    Mistletoe

  16. Yesterday
  17. Use your arbsurplus lengths for deadeyes, ring deadeyes etc. Before you know it, you'll have a good arsenal.
  18. Yes we do use google, however we work nationwide and have had some good connections through these kind of forums and other socials, resulting in creating great relationships with companies.
  19. Thanks for comment. Two or more suggestions for bearing - ok, better get over my laziness then …. Blow by past the piston maybe?
  20. I would pack some soil into the bandage lower down and reduce the height of the bandage over time - use you eyes to judge. If the roots are solid then you may get bark regeneration.Reduce the demand on the roots / bark for water by keeping the leaf down. I expect this will be an experiment rather than a success story but I think the chances are good. TBH it could be saved - but really the lesson has been learnt, don't strim / only strim with protection round the stem. Back up is let the plants either side fill the gap - they will, longer term grow some cuttings on and look to replace - realistically this is going to take more time. Personally I wouldn't try and replant -you will disturb the roots of the plants either side - a dig around the roots and see if this supposition is correct.
  21. Any members had experience of 5th wheel caravans? Cost of insurance? Hints and tips?
  22. Someone post the most uncut footage available please. I can't be arsed wading through the waffling journos and portagriefs. Though while someone finds that, I might remark that it looks (from the crap video I've just seen) that it's a fairly open area. Park a car on him and save everyone's hearing. Right. Let's see a video.

    Mistletoe

    I am sorry if I am on the wrong site, but I have searched the internet without success for an answer. My question is, that I have lived here for 25 one of the previous owners with my neighbour used some bird poo with a berry into my apple tree. So the mistletoe could well be over 40 odd years old. I always tell people that comment on it that it is male and never has berries. UNTIL……..I noticed some last week. I suspect this is unusual and more to the point how could it have happened. ? I have a couple of bird houses in the tree and lots of tiny birds frequent it. ( In the past they were blue tits, but I think it is a different species at the moment )
  24. Its nice to be able to clip two carabiners on a ring if your working with two ropes, allows swapping between bridges easier and no real disadvantage that I've found.
  25. We had a similar issue on a 150 and was an inline capacitor in the loom, needed an auto electrician to find it.
  26. Thanks . Manual or remote control?
