its all down to the timber type. i have some beech which isnt burning and its been drying out the same time. i might get a moisture meter but im worried i'll get like you!

xtc and liros

olive trees are expensive

councils got with the cheapest quote mostly.

oak and beech take alot longer then sycamore and ash to season. but your method is spot on.
-
no i did not, but my point was that the wood seasoned adequately to be burnt and in was less then a year old and stored outside.
-
im burning hardwood right now which was cutdown early this year and stored outside in disks i split them in autumn and they all burn nice. when you split them you can see the water mark from the rain and it doesnt go that far into the log. maybe your moisture metering that small area.

i enjoy doing the ground work every now and again, you will be surprised what you will learn to be honest, it just takes time.

i hate pegs too! i spike up and remove the branches as i go up on small conifers. looked good mate.silky work is safer work

what size bars can you put on these makitas?

its a shame it had to be felled.

ive heard that lime is good for turning as its soft, not sure if that means its also good for carving? i recon pear wood be good as thats also very soft. as for cost, you need some buyer first.

treedave i covered the plot with carpet to help kill the weeds. the paths have membraine under the woodchip to stop the weeds. i dont want a greenhouse or shed as it attracts vandals. Monkeyd looks good, do use weed killer? treesurfer sorry to here that, shame you had to give it up. raised beds are good, great if you have poor soil, they are easier to manage and mine are 4 foot wide so you can reach them from both sides without having to stand on them. dan go for it, just start digging! lay some carpet over a space and then dig it over in the spring.

Has anyone else got an allotment? heres some pics of mine. i only took it on in the summer. ive gone for raised beds with woodchip paths.

ive been steady, expecting next year to be a tough one to be honest.

i hate that green slimey stuff on branches making them very slippy, dog pooh,nails,ivy,cars,fences,greenhouses,sheds,wind,rain,kids,doing extras for no extra money, creepers covering everthing, metal bits in hedges, when the customer asks to keep the logs and wants them logged up... i could go on

my husky spout has been dripping for ages, luckly i felled a birch onto it so now its completely broke.

ive got an amazing chillie and red pepper chutney recipe if your interested, it rocks. ive also done a jar of pickled onions and beetroot for xmas. im a bit of a purest, keep the recipes simple, i did put a few small chillies in the onions tho.
-
the lying part is worst. everyone makes mistakes especially when new to a job. id give him a second chance personnally.
-
did you sook the onionsin water overnight before pickling? its meant to keep the onions crispy. im a fan of chillies but i wouldnt put that many in personnally. i normally dry my chillies out and store them in a jar.

i think your zero tolerence approach sucks.

the cheapest
