    How do you seal the tops of these bags?
  2. Arctostaphylos uva-ursi
    I have installed individual mesh guards for a client this year in North east of Scotland for just this purpose. The alternative is deer fencing. If you would like assistance with this send me a PM.

    As above - sounds like insufficient draft. Try it out when there is a good breeze outside and perhaps try opening the window in the room with the stove until you have it all warmed up.

    I use Bulldog stuff. Its British, affordable and hasn't let me down.....yet!

    I use chains direct because they dont add any extra for posting to the highlands like some companies do!

    This seller (10" 25cc 2500 2 STROKE PETROL CHAINSAW 25 cc TOP HANDLE ARBORIST | eBay) is happy to sell them to anyone even the DIY enthusiasts. So clearly no restrictions here. Personally I hate all the red tape surrounding the use of small machines as I too was happily using a chainsaw before the blue book came about.

    Thanks for that Taupo. I will definitely go for those then. I'm currently using meindl waldläufers and they are like slippers, great for climbing but a bit soft for all day spiking.

    Keeping them correctly sharpened makes a world of difference but make sure you avoid your trousers, rope and any other soft furnishings! I am 17 stone and love dismantling with spikes. Unfortunately they have triggered a bout of Plantar fasciitis that I am having trouble getting over. Could really do with a pair of boots with a solid steel shank - like those used in ice climbing but with chainsaw protection. Have not been able to find a supplier in the UK and the US ones would not meet our standards. Does anyone know of any arb boots with a reinforced arch?

    I leave my dogs dew claws alone as she needs them for climbing trees.

    Nice tree!
  11. Arctostaphylos uva-ursi
    Perhaps take a photo and contact your local authority tree officer explaining your misgivings. Then let the council deal with it.

    Could they be slugs eggs?
  13. Arctostaphylos uva-ursi
    Vive la différence! I would also have been happier feeding a chipper on that day, as long as it was back here in the UK! Why do I get the feeling that the crane driver(s) were also under instruction.
  14. Arctostaphylos uva-ursi
    Who is your supplier?
  15. Arctostaphylos uva-ursi
    Fair enough. Thanks for the quick response!
  16. Arctostaphylos uva-ursi
    Gerrit they are Scots pine and I have managed to collect some needles I am guessing at Lophodermium seditiosum. What are your thoughts?
  17. Arctostaphylos uva-ursi
    Make sure you get a Micah with it! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RE5wK6hITiE&noredirect=1]3 Year Old Splits Kindling With Fiskars X27 - YouTube[/ame]

    Just Googled it for you. £129.00 on Amazon. Any good for you? [ame=http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fiskars-122500-FISKARS-SPALTAXT-X27/dp/B004J46YY4]http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fiskars-122500-FISKARS-SPALTAXT-X27/dp/B004J46YY4[/ame]

    Where is the Arbtalk one?!
  20. Arctostaphylos uva-ursi
    Gerrit I have been looking at a number of young hollies (Ilex aquifolium) that were planted this year and are partially or completely defoliated. In most cases the defoliation appears to have affected the upper half of the young trees more than the lower. There are also purple/mauve (turning brown/black) lesions present on the stem and around the buds. Could this possibly be Phytopthora ilicis or bacterial blight or something altogether different? As always, your help is greatly appreciated.
  21. Arctostaphylos uva-ursi
    Thank you The lack of any discernible cortinas or ring had me foxed.
  22. Arctostaphylos uva-ursi
    No discernible ring. Growing nest to young lime (Tilia). Here's a better picture:

    With gills light brown in colour slightly darker than cap. I was thinking Lophodermium but I haven't seen the needles close up as the picture was sent to me. Will post pictures of needles when I have seen them. Thanks

    Here are a few for identification:
