That's only 3 miles from me nice park. Can't help with the question but shouldn't be hard to find out.

Also good for keeping witches from your door apparently, (as in the Scottish tradition I think.) It shouldn't be relatively easy to dig up and relocate, growing as it is in what looks like gravel.

Look in the tip directory always people looking for free wood -
As Will and Steven have protect it during the summer then move it in the winter, they look lovely with the berries on them and don't get too big.

Buy a used Ifor Williams GD85 (or similar) - what to look for?

Just buy a 8x5 tipper it will be narrower then the gd8x5, the one i have has been a great trailer moved tons of wood and chip, mini loader when digger is on 12x6 ifor. was going to replace the tipper with a 10x5 but have had a second thought and will probably find a GX84 plant to move digger easier. -
A simple tree gard will do all the protection you need. After that soil, sun and water will do the trick. I would replant it somewhere further away from the wall regardless of what the wall is.

Hello all! Im making a career change to become a Dorset based groundworker and am looking for work from the 4th May onwards. Open to travelling and can be based in Devon for a few days a week. Chainsaw maintenance, cross-cutting, and felling 380 certs to follow in a few weeks but insurance and PPL/some equipment good to go from 4th May. I will be self-employed (from 4th) trading as Roots Up and very open to advice and suggestions as this is a new industry for me! I am coming from the marine industry, formerly as a sailor and latterly as a naval architect so my climbing has mainly been metal masts! Would really appreciate any work opportunities to gain experience and advice for knowledge on the industry and business management in this sector!

I'm not sure that pen and paper is allowed you know. WTF! One of the frustrations is that you can't fill in boxes from the rhs. I.e. if you've got some green letters towards the end of the word, you can't put them in first to give you a feel for what the beginning letters might be. Tricky to explain.

Does this need removing?
Joe Newton replied to JackFairbrother's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Fell and replace sooner rather than later. It could carry on for another decade or two, but then it's a much bigger tree with a compromised base, and your tree surgeon will roll his eyes when you ask why it's going to be more expensive. -
Hello we will be working in Dudley West Midlands tomorrow and will have a full load of willow logs to tip off to anyone in immediate surrounding areas. Cheers -
‘Wordle? Completed it mate.’ Jules, you’re an intelligent man. The fact you got it in one once means f-all. The best days are actually the 5/6’s when you get frustrated and can actually feel your brain working. I got it in one last week because I’d seen my mates attempt, knew his likely source word, and guessed lucky with a massive head start. It was shit. There are sites giving ‘Wordle clues’. WTF? It’s now just me, on the shitter, 6.35, no clues, let battle commence. I may take to pen and paper, I may take 8 hours. It’s just the way it is. I usually choose a source word with S, A and E, so MOIST might provide a challenge tomorrow, but I’ll give it a bash.

I have this Lansing sideloader forklift on approval, and it is a great machine except it has a mast which sticks up way too far for me. I need the type of mast which you can use in restricted height areas like the second photo. With the one I have, at the same forks height the mast sticks up about three metres higher! It is a long shot I know but do any of you fellow arbtalkers know of someone who has a duplex mast from one of these machines they are selling? These Lansing sideloaders are quite common (common for sideloaders that is) and to my amazement I discovered they are made in Wales.

Anyone know who did the carvings in Bryn Bach Park? These are just some of them, there’s a lovely owl and fox bench as well but I didn’t manage to get a photo (yet)

Time Left: 6 days and 16 hours
- FOR SALE
- USED
This machine was brand new in January, 2023. It has low hours and is in very good working order. Manual and necessary tools are included, as well as a spare set of blades that have been professionally sharpened. It has an electric winch on the front of the machine for loading it into trailers and vans, and also for getting it into hard to reach places. It has not had an oil change, due to the low hours. One safety decal is missing from the top of the feed chute. There are a few minor scratches, and a small amount of rust on a few of the fasteners, but apart from that, I would say that it is as good as new. The reason for sale is that I initially intended to have a small-scale tree service: hence the small chipper; but it has now evolved, and the jobs are getting bigger, so I need bigger equipment. Please feel free to contact me about any additional inquiries or about pickup/delivery.£3,500

I don't follow them but this sentence is always telling: "When Mr Murrell was arrested last year, police searched the house he shares with Ms Sturgeon in Glasgow", as opposed to "his wife, Ms Sturgeon", they are never written about as a married couple more a business arrangement.

TBH i would just pay a bit extra and buy a tipping trailer, i have had several trailers over the years and the one i have now a 10ft IW tipper saves so much time and effort, there is days when i think i could do with a bigger trailer but do manage very well with what i have, if you buy a tipper now you wont look back and be thinking i should of got a tipper, there will be times when its lashing it down and your all ready cold n wet and you think jesus i have to unload this now, tipper you just push a button and 2 mins you done,, -
Predicting some of the questions, what is the wall behind it - house wall or garden wall? Thinking of the future when this gets bigger, will it be a problem - maybe transplanting it somewhere more suitable?

Hi everyone. I'm Richard, an ardent tree lover and just signed up here hoping to gain knowledge and advice! I live in SE England by the way. I just discovered this (what I believe to be) a rowan sapling in the border of my patio. I'd like advice on how to nurture it and ask if it needs any protection from predators as it grows.
-
Unfortunately it will require a replacement carb, choke pull and grommet, easy to do but the cost may now make it to expensive.

Ha no, I was talking about the smell and taste being really bad so they end up in the bin. I don't think there can be any good ingredients in cigs, although I presume there are some controls and regulations about what can and can't go into legal cigs (yeah I've read of the nasties that they contain) compared to ones made on the floor in a Chinese warehouse.

Peter Murrell re-arrested in SNP investigation - BBC News WWW.BBC.CO.UK The husband of Nicola Sturgeon has been re-arrested in connection with the SNP finances... Made my night 😀 Another lying b…..d hopefully getting his comeuppance.

Yeah I saw that Mark he deserves everything he gets and more. Total nonce. Regards informed choice ! We’re you that sensible at 14-15 or whatever it was even you grabbed a sneaky can of lager 🤷♂️one go with some of these drugs is enough mate to cause a lifetime of addiction and misery. You know the whole working men’s club scene what it used to be like up our way. A decent night some sociable drinking etc. You can’t compare that to legalised fentanyl it crystal meth etc etc You didn’t say if you had kids Mark My youngest two are 15 and whilst I fully expect to go through the coming home pissed routine I can take that as opposed to the horrendous alternatives. Maybe we see more of the negative up here as I’m sure you are aware regarding the drug deaths etc in Scotland.

Unusual methodology. ’getting clever about it’ is the point isn’t it?

Well if first guess of daisy gives me ****D i might guess OUTER rather than ROUTE, because lots of words end with ED. I can't be bothered getting too clever about it until I have all the vowels and Y out.
