Alcatraz, closed because it was too expensive. Nice little earner now from tourism, maybe with tourism plummeting in the US that income is dropping too? A vanity project that will do nothing to reduce violent crime in the US, some might even see it as a challenge to get sent there. Headline grabbing but like most of his headline grabbing not going to happen (build a wall all the way across the Mexico border, all hell breaking loose if hostages in Gaza arn't released, end Ukraine war in 24 hours, take Canada and Greenland into the US, and the biggie, Tariffs to instantly produce all stuff in the US, and the biggie, Make America Great Again)

I wasn't aware, but I'm not surprised.

I am certain I've seen some far-gone casualties make a recovery by this stage, which does make the mass culling of recent years seem a tad drastic, but we all know how brittle and unstable the affected timber is... which is the sort of damage I don't think the trees are able to fix, which does justify removal in a lot of cases, such as roadside and town trees, that sort of thing. It would have been very interesting to have left the problem completely unaddressed, and see what would happen to let nature take its course.

If it's only young growth you could get a cheap topper mower 6 ft wide. Easier to maintain the flail. That video has been speed up a lot would of taken him days to do that. I run a old Wessex scrub master, out of machines I have used before it's an animal.

So £4000? Collect any mowings or discard?

Yeap, it's all a massive game of smoke and mirrors, playing the pity card to shame/guilt trip into a green wasteland. It's a bit like a security expert telling me I need reinforced steel doors, high security locks, biometric id and state of the art alarms and patrol dogs. Then the dawning realisation it's a bloody portaloo!.

Good Morning All.

Nothing to apologise for. Willows are the Rasputin of trees. Short of separating its molecules and salting the earth, you won’t kill it. Hack it any way you like. It’ll grow back. The Welshfred plan sounds good to me. Bit of space to stoop underneath. Can’t help you with the house proximity besides an utterly anecdotal looks fine to me.

I ordered some Chinese bits and they didn’t work. How about a 309 dolmar coil and flywheel?

I think the price is fair honestly. Guess the market will decide?

The Trametes are growing on the dead wood, and shouldn't affect the living wood. The important bit is where the living and dead wood meet, providing that the callus growth is intact, and separating the two, the tree is probably fine. Same with the buttresses, providing the structural wood is intact, small bits of decay between the buttresses will have little consequences.

yes the tree surgeon should have investigated yes the sales contract probably should have picked it up if the felled tree was dead or dangerous you can have it under exemption the missing trees probably were felled under similar exemptions probably worth having a local tree surgeon help dig into where the missing ones went and straighten it up with the council sharpish so they dont hit you with it at a later date.

How many gangs and what machines do you run mate?

Why don’t you post some photos so we can see what is on offer? Also it might make a difference if you are able to arrange haulage.

Hi all, I’m a teacher at Cuckmere House School in Seaford, and we’re setting up a new forest school area for our students. I’m hoping some kind local tree surgeons or arborists might be able to help us out with some natural materials. We’re looking for: Log stools or cut trunk sections suitable for children to sit on (see first photo) Log slices/discs for crafts and play (second photo) Any large log sections or simple planks that could be used as low benches or balance beams (third photo) If you have any suitable offcuts or surplus wood from recent jobs, we’d love to give them a new home in our outdoor learning space. We can arrange collection from anywhere in the Seaford/East Sussex area. Thanks Dave

It’s a fair point.

How old was the plug? Arbs are known for only changing things after they fail, or not at all, and just buying a new one... If the aspen is more volatile, that would be the difference. Pump fuel usually has different blends for summer and winter to aid starting, and reduce evaporation. I assume aspen/husq do the same but the timing may be different. Could be same mix all year, but that would suprise me. I havent looked into it, Im happy on pump fuel.

Not bow stave material but an impressive tree I spotted out and about today nonetheless. Looks like it regenerated from the hollow centre at some point, (probably centuries ago!).

It's been 6 months since last newsletter - that has got to change! News - we are revamping the CSB website and we should be able to re launch the new version around Feb/March 2025.

Thanks it seems to have cured itself all working well now, ldoes anyone have a picture of how the flapper plate fits in the grass box the chap I bought this mower frokm removed it, the hydraulic rams are still in place and I have the heavy metal plate. I can see it pivots on somthing but those parts may be missing so need a picture to see what I need to get Thanks Brian

Thought it was easier to do it like this. 1 - Lettuce 2 - Red Mustard 3 - Rocket 4 - Spring Onion 5 - Wild Rocket 6 - Korean Mint Cheers for the Wasabi Rocket idea, I've not tried it. Sounds like a winner.
