I bet it reeks of perming lotion.

I wouldn't bother. Far easier and less expensive industries to get into than this. Far too much market saturation forcing wages/ profit down.

Doesn't bark sometimes serve to protect a tree from forest fires and therefore doesn't burn well?

I have a tractor with a FEL but it's not a big potato area here so doubt 2nd hand crates are particularly common. I'm currently just storing them in hessian sacks but letting the sticks season before processing (and I know this is harder on the blades)

I wanted to propagate a Kentish cobnut by layering but haven't had much success. Was under it today, seeing if there were any nuts that the bloody squirrels had missed, and saw 2 suckers - can I just dig these up and replant them? They're blatantly not growing from the same stool (suppose they could have grown from seed)

British Mycological Society has recently been discussing various Phaeolus finds on Sorbus. Incidentally, Sorbus intermedia has recently been reclassified as Scandosorbus intermedia.

I didn’t write it 🤷‍♂️ You are talking to the wrong person.

@eggsarascal 3 weeks since the caravan park story and I see you've been on recently and I think it's time to speak up.

Pick the apples to reduce the weight then gently prop it back as above

always found in construction with disk cutters it was a lack of basic maintenance because of all the dust they produce

I had one on trial about 1.5-2 years ago. At the time it was called the akimbo max. I got one to trial as I had go funded the original akimbo design and Jaime had one floating around Europe so it was sent to me. it didn’t operate well in damp Norwegian conditions. I gave my feedback and passed on to the next trial candidate. it will be interesting to see if it is better than the first version.

You could get a job for eggs, selling cars, or caravan holidays.

Greetings from sunny Detroit! I’m looking for an opinion on two trees close to our house. One is a sugar maple with a concerning crack in the bark just below the “Y.” The “Y” has a spot that collects water and it feels punky when I stick a knife into the base of it. In past icy winter storms this tree has lost several large limbs. I’m thinking this tree needs to go. The second is a big sycamore that also has a punky spot in the base of one of the larger branches that hangs over the house. It has some dark spots on the bark at the base of the tree that seem to be leakage from the trunk. It has been a beast and has never lost a limb to storm damage but it would also do some serious damage if it did fail. Both trees look healthy with no large dead branches and the leaves look fine. They have shaded our house for decades now but if they are becoming weak I’d rather remove them now before they fail and damage the house. Pictures below. The two trees The maple tree from the south west The opposite side of the maple from the south east The sycamore with 4 dark spots on the trunk The large limb with a punky spot

There are some sick individuals out there celebrating the death of a man, father, son etc. I cannot believe some of the tripe I have seen today. RIP.
