Most cod and haddock served up in the British chippy comes from sustainable sources, Norwegian and Icelandic waters, I do understand your point all the same...

10 ton of fish is 10 ton of fish in my book regardless how big they are, its not the tiny fish that go back dead its the fish just undersize as a rule, drives me crazy, we should increase net size and change the pattern imo, or in our waters, longline fish

Fish Fight - Half of all fish caught in the North Sea is thrown back overboard dead

No mate this works in conjunction with a road going compressor, thanks for the links

I use my machine to de-compact and fissure the soil in layers, starting at a few inches working down as far as 600mm, I have total control over the volume of air injected too, with the terravent you won't have control of the gas released, but you can still work in layers, I hope that helps...

HAHA you know don't yah........

I don't know about the Terravent but my de-compaction machine [works on a similar principle to the Terravent] certainly doesn't slam the soil back down. Mulch is all well and very good, but in certain scenarios its just not practical.

Hunters pee all over Blackwidows

I think somebody's had a long day and its past his bed time...................

''He that plants trees loves others besides himself'' good programme......

Just acquire it for as long as you need it mate, tell them its now the new workers cooperative tractor, they'll understand, any problems contact me, and I'll send them to a gulag...............

Ford still make the tipper, the last new one I saw for sale was priced at 16k plus vat

Have you any idea how the mega wealthy landed gentry acquired such obscene amounts of land and property? the bible says ''its far easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven'' taking away the religious connotation, the point is still a valid one...........

Whats that old proverb about walking in another mans shoes, I hope I never find myself in a position that I need to liberate firewood

In this instance I'd call it taking back what's was rightfully ours, I'm not saying the OP's employer is in the league of this lot but as a mate once said , no wonder the majority of us live in rabbit hutches A third of Britain STILL belongs to the aristocracy | Mail Online saying that we don't want to live anarchic society do we......

I'll agree with you and the illegal motor bit, as for jealous not me, mate a millionaire once said to me, when you don't have money you worry, but when you do have money you worry even more! the landed gentry are a load of miserly paranoid sado's as a rule....

Come the revolution comrade, they'll loose a damn site more than £360:thumbup:

Three men desperate enough to take firewood, that's a big thumbs down in my book! wait until these austerity measures really kick in, stealing a few logs will be nothing, I have no sympathy for large estate owners whatsoever ............

Rather sad imo, imagine being that desperate you need to start stealing firewood, ohh and I say a direct line to the police for poachers what what what"!...........the common man has a break in and gets the tools for his trade knicked and the fuzz take a day or two to come out.......

I don't try and go too in-depth these days, does vertical mulching, radial trenching and soil decompacting with the terra tree/ terravent work and show significant results in stressed trees, yes and that's really all I'm concerned with! Would I decompact and turn over an entire root zone with an Air-Spade NO WAY some do I don't, soil de-compaction IMO is best carried out in moderation. From my own experience the Air-Spade will very rarely physically sever fine roots, but I do believe it will dehydrate fine feeder roots. That's why I don't de-compact any more than 20% of a root zone/compacted area [with Air-Spade] The short term damage in my experience is far outweighed by the long term benefits of de-compaction. Feeder roots grow quickly IMO after de-compaction, hence the positive results. My preferred methods of soil de-compaction these days are vertical mulching or de-compacting with the Terra Tree and mulching the root zone afterwards. If incorporating mulch isn't an option, I like to use soil conditioners/bio stimulants and compost teas, I rarely if ever use inorganic fertiliser or mycorrhizal inoculants these days, because with fertilisers we don't know the true effects long term. I have however in the past used weak fertiliser dilutions that have proved beneficial all be it short term so far! and as for mycorrhizae, I had a long chat with a mycologist some months ago, he specialises in mycorrhizae, and he like me is convinced trying to add off the shelf mycorr potions to mature trees is a waste of time, far better to try and make ideal conditions for the myccor that's present. Anyway lets not forget the Air-Spade has many more uses than just de-compaction, I use it as a excavator for root pruning, inspection pits, root investigation etc etc. As for training, who has enough experience to put together a training package? I learn something new every time I use the Air-Spade. If a training package is put together and no doubt somebody will, it will be a H&S money extracting jobby, IE do not point and blast your colleague wth Air-Spade, do not use Air-Spade under influence of 10 pints of Stella a spliff or after injecting smack, do not use Air-Spade for pest control purposes and blast bunnies and rats out of burrows, such training I'll pass up on..

Government owned national parks and woodlands thats what they should become, and not playgrounds for the rich, or a get rich quick venture for timber men...

If anyone's interested I have a TIRFOR T516D WINCH WITH 20M WIRE CABLE AND OPERATING HANDLE for sale, I bought it 3 years ago brand new, its in immaculate condition, as you expect from a winch that has only been worked a half dozen times. If anyone's interested PM me I want £300 for it

Climber wanted Ipswich, as and when jobs come in, good rates. Must have own PPE, climbing gear and topping saw, I tend not to do big trees/ jobs any more, more your back garden stuff. Climber must be reliable, experienced, safe and hard working, a sense of humour is also a plus. First job, is a Sunday, knocking the tops out of some conifers. If interested please contact me ASAP PM me here or email [email protected] Cheers Lee

Vests always look a bit YMCA to me

Is it April the 1st already?
