  1. Maybe the owner wanted his trees to look like his poodles
  2. I don'nt think a tree thinned like this will survive . Twenty meters high with only a carrier bag full of needles.
  3. I'm going back to my two in one throw line again. I bought some Stein throw line 1.8mm . The first two weeks perfect . But after the coating wears off. Such a pita.
  4. Maybe stihl is hiding something , i can'nt find anything on the German web sites.
  5. These trees are normal Scots pines 20 meters high with about 60 % thining. Here's a street view picture from a while back.

  11. step 1: rinse washer detergent draw with very hot water to remove any detergent residue step 2: put EMPTY washer on a hot/ hot rinse cycle to wash detergent away step 3 : tie 2 ends of rope together and flake loose rope directly into machine srep 3 : place nickwax tech wash or other rope specific cleaner (eg beal) in draw step 4 : programe long cool (max 40) wash step 5 : if desired add rope water-proofer (eg nikwax rope proof) to draw and re-wash following proofer instructions step 6 : untangle rope and allow to air dry in cool atmosphere out of direct sunlight enjoy clean (lighter in the rain if proofed) rope! PS do not machine wash flip lines, this can lead to accelerated internal corrosion and accelerated flex cycling of where the wire exits the crimp/ crimps that can be hard to detect until.........pop!
