I've never quite got my head around the idea of agroforestry. You can obviously grow a wide variety of fruit, nuts and seeds on the trees themselves, but I'm not sure how you can get enough light, (and water), underneath them to grow all the veggies or anything else. Maybe it's just a sparse forest with lots of clearings.

Donald Trump baffles economists with tariff formula ON.FT.COM Calculation deeply flawed economically and will fail in stated aim of ‘driving bilateral trade deficits to zero’, say analysts

Yeah, Totness is a bit of a strange place, always has been. Very "alternative" let's say. It's a shame that they barely talked about the Forest Garden in that report, much more detail on the agroforestry would have been better. Its an interesting and potentially fruitful research topic.

Field Maple is a good shout, the bark on #2 looks most like that. That big fat black bud on a green twig is a major anomaly though. The only one I can be sure of is #3 being Beech.

Indeed. Care to elaborate?

Some light relief from the doom and gloom. Island home only to penguins hit by tariffs - and other things you may have missed on 'Liberation Day' NEWS.SKY.COM The EU hates "beautiful" American beef, Donald Trump won't stand for plastic eggs and penguins face higher costs to sell...

Maybe. It's hard to imagine that there can be any kind of Kompromat strong enough to make a difference now though. If all the shenanigans over the last couple of months, (not to mention all his previous misdemeanours), still haven't made hardcore Trump defenders renounced him, then probably nothing will. He can literally do no wrong in the eyes of a few. And even he probably realises it. Take Signal Gate for instance. That would, (and rightly so), have been enough to take down or at least seriously damage any other administration. Not this one though. They just went into full on denial, and then attack mode, and then just carried on with business as usual. The supporters lapped it up without batting an eye lid. Weird times we live in.

Fingers crossed there's no late frosts or too many maggots this year.

Does anyone else think that it's curious that Russia didn't make it onto the Tariff Boards of Shame at all?

Loving their hats.

There was a Bowyer on here a while back I remember. It'd be interesting to get his thoughts on the subject.

Finish to preserve natural colour of light timber.

Yeah, I thought about that after I posted. It's not cheap as you say, it was fine for my few square meters, but might be prohibitively expensive for your 50 m². -

This stuff might be worth a trial. I used it for some internal book shelves, made of untreated, sanded scaffold planks. I didn't want them to go yellow and then brown as softwood normally does so I did some research online into suitable finishes and this came up, with recommendations. I'm quite happy with it so far.

Ditto. I think we should resist unnecessary AI stuff such as this for as long as possible. We are apparently as a species already starting to lose our sense of direction and navigational skills due to satnav, GPS, google maps etc. AI does obviously have some very important applications, (in medicine for instance where it can perform functions that humans cannot), but using it for things that we can do ourselves, like writing a job advert or an eBay listing, is just foolish and short-sighted. IMO.

My favourite, the one that always sticks in my mind from that film.

Very similar to here. Winter over night, summer during the day.

He was great in Heat and Tombstone. Two cracking films.

You're very welcome. I'd suggest you approach Swiss Tony first as Mr Trump is rather too busy at the moment I believe.
