Thanks for the reply's every one. Looks like I need to have a look about the farm and see what I can put together! I will pop some pics up if I can get it to work out.

Here is mine on skids I tow behind the iron horse or atv cost about 20quid in bits handy for small burning jobs like rhodie or gorse bushes on sssi sites

Very nice, that looks spot on for what I need!

why does the ash need removed

why does the ash need removed

 

many sssi sites need low fertility to favour target species. As the sites revert to woodland via shrubby species like broom and gorse, which can fix their own nitrogen, minerals are taken up from the lower soil layers, if the ash is left it fertilizes the top soil layer and this favours plants which can compete with the preferred species.

good explanation thanks

Not the fire sledge but I did this on a few fire sites on a 630m hedge laying job at the start on the season. I think it worked a treat! I didnt remove the ash but i think its going to be able to deal with it. Time will tell.
