It just goes to show how the average 'Mr City worker's wife thinks!

 

They're the worst type to deal with I find.

Exactly.

 

But they will find out soon enough after buying all the gear thats its been a terrible mistake.

Worked for me - we had a surge in orders for 10's and 20's of ash saplings and could not understand why. Now I know - cheers Arbtalk!

Jesus...

 

It's even worse than the article they did on the 10 best stoves!

 

So, let's get this right:

 

1) spend 800 quid on gear (according to their prices for a rechargeable chainsaw, a log store, a couple of axes and a splitter).

 

2) go home and either

 

a) injure yourself or damage your property

b) realise a rechargeable saw is no use whatsoever for felling the 50' euc in your garden,

c) realise that despite your garden being "large", it's not big enough to sustain a plantation

d) realise that it's all a bit like hard work, stick the saw in the loft with last year's veg growing kit, tai chi mats and other excessive consumer goods. Depending on your volume of logs required, either buy a net from the local petrol station or order a load from a supplier.
