People in prison should be picking your litter p instead of watching porn working out in the gym with 3 cooked meals everyday, they should also pick the litter on all the motorways. -
People need to learn the difference between a bough a branch and a twig, and as for a bit of saw dust it is bio degradable a bit of wind rain and frosts and it will be gone. dont take it to heart david some people are born moaners and not being sexist but most of them are female.:001_smile:

Do you find woods work hard or is it just my age i came home today cold and my bones all ached but i had a little friend with me all day today a little goldcrest.
-
that was a good link you posted on the woodmans choice i liked it a lot did you say you had been on one?
-
In one of my woods are some overaged hazel the retired gamekeeper planted them 60 years ago icut one but it did not shoot and just rotted away what a waste. Is it my age or is being a woodman very hard work and makes all your bones ache.
-
Yes i agree the woods i know around suffolk which are unmanaged are empty of life, but the woods i look after are full of all types of wildlife,wild flowers,i remember reading in a book that hazel uncut lives to about 60 years but if it is cut the stools will live up to a thousand. Two years ago we felled a 400 year old oak when i went past it today it has good regrowth which i would not of exspected.

The thing is take ash my boss will not burn ash until it has been seasoned 3 years my neighbour fells an ash and it is on the fire that night. My father in law had no trouble with his flue until one year he cut sycamore trees and after one winter his flue was blocked with tar. for myself i season for 3 years for sale i season 1 year no good being a woodman and burning damp wood.

I bet the children will play in that causing compaction then you can get the air spade in. nice try. I am hoping to do the same on some of my veteran oaks next year.
