Bit different today, repollarding a reputed 850 year old oak that shat a piece a few weeks back.

 

3 big stems girdled up with old steel bracing, thankfully, not much holding wood on the dodgy one.

 

3 full Transit loads of chip.

 

 

That is cool, could also go in the remarkable trees thread.

Not arb but took the harley rake out of the nettles and did a few lawns this week. It started raining when I was on the way home with the seeder. 

Brought in a few bales too, always impressed with what the little Korean tractor can do!

Not going to seed it now are you?

They're seeded and fertilised. Couldn't have timed it better!

Burn to a crisp if it ever germinated out here.

Looks smooth and even anyway.

Different climate down your way! Peaked at 30° here on Tuesday, down to 18 now and raining steady. More of the same forecast for the rest of the weekend then who knows! A gamble worth taking.

Yeah. Happy with the results. A change is as good as a rest as they say. Back to bashing laurel hedges next week.
