I'd say that the ties are a little high up. Isn't the rule that young trees should be stacked at up to a third of their height? To allow adequate flexing of the trunk to ensure strengthening and supporting root development.

Anyone else spotted the huge irony?!

It's all the fault of those WWF wrestlers of course. Or was it Conservationists?

Something weird about how well they're doing in France at the moment I think it was.

I don't know either but I'd guess the closer to the equator the better. The sunlight being strongest there. If that's true then great, we can put all the solar panels in and around London!
-
It would make far more sense to put solar panels on new industrial buildings near the big cities and keep the land for grazing, or plant some trees. Think about how many massive crappy new distribution and warehousing centers there are everywhere. The square acreage must be huge. All it would need is a bit of roof structure strengthening work. There's also a bonus of the power generation being close to the power consumption locations.

Yeah I remember being blown away the first time I used a Silky, a true revelation. I can't imagine trying to use a bow saw up in a tree. Must have been cumbersome and awkward as hell. That's another big advantage of a Silky, the low vertical profile of the blade.
-
Yes, I'd guess you're probably right, based on my experience with the small Silkys. The price comparison might be the opposite though, I wonder if you could buy a decent old cross cut saw for less than a new Silky. The downside of bow saws are that they're prone to jamming in larger diameter timber, and also they can do a vicious jump onto your opposing forearm, if given the chance.
-
Yep, updates on stuff like this are always welcomed on here. 👍 I'll be interested to see how the old school saw turns out.

Very nice. Do you get enough head, (so to speak!), when it's almost empty?

They're parasites. The problem is the law is behind them so nothing much we can do.

I'd suck up the £600 and put it down to experience. Insurance companies are legit crooks. They'll use anything to wriggle out of paying, they'll probably love the fact that you didn't tell them about it initially and use that against you. Thinking about it: you should probably tell them anyway, even if not claiming. There's sure to be a clause somewhere that invalidates a potential future claim if you don't.

The new plants are paying dividends. Obviously loving this warm weather as well. It's definitely worth replacing them every few years.
