    Thanks for the link treedave:thumbup1: Charlie, when I was typing this thread I just knew you'd be the man to answer it :thumbup:Thanks I'll let him know. We do have a big council run nursery just round the corner from me that sell to the general public, I'll pop in tomorrow.

    Is there such a thing?.....A friend of mine owns five acres which he rents out to horse owners, he asked me where he could buy laurels at a good price in order to hedge the boundary. Dont bother with Laurels there awful I said and went on to tell him the benefits of Hawthorne instead, better for birds and near impossible for anyone to clamber through etc etc. Then it dawned on me that if it were Hawthorne maybe theres a possibility of a grant from the EA or some other org so I said I'd ask for him on here.

    Damn, she read your post Doug and now wants 50% of any profit for all the work she did while I was up the road in the 'Tuck Inn'...... Too late I spent all the profit on the gutbuster special with extra toast
  16. Mick Stockbridge

    I have the same engine in my chipper but I cant help with your problem cos I've never had an ounce of trouble with it. It does backfire when the revs are dropped though but all the little Honda engines do that. After reading your post again I see you had it running on a gentle slope, could there be too much oil in the sump and some has got into pot 2 ?

    Will deffo keep me eye open for that one, I love war films but when is someone gonna make a Brit film. I'd much rather see what our blokes went through.

    I'm certainly no expert but I doubt the larvae are causing the rot, more like the eggs are being laid there cos of the rot.

    Money pure n simple, after 27yrs it's hard to get excited about tree work. I can remember starting out on my own and being so excited that one day driving home after work I thought to myself I'd actually be gutted if I won the lotto, how sad is that. Not anymore though.
  23. Mick Stockbridge
    Thanks Ian and Josh that is well appreciated and I may take you both up on it :thumbup1:It'd be worth the bar bill, I think:001_rolleyes: Nepia thanks, I'll see what it's like. Dave if we go lamping this weekend you can take some and see what you can do with it, I'll buzz ya about shooting.
  24. Mick Stockbridge
    Yeah that bench was the biz, no good me attempting something like that though. I'll hook it out tomorrow, take some pics and see if it's worth selling. Shame about the rest though, If Ian lived nearer he'd be making spoons, bowls and all sorts out of it. I'm burning some this arvo and it's lovely, beats conny lol.

    I've never been a one for saving wood other than firewood but after seeing what some people can do with it (tommer, Rob D, Ian Leach and the like) I'm inclined to save what I can from this dead Walnut and put it to a better use. I'm gonna winch out the root ball and trunk tomorrow. Is it worth saving or should I just log it up and burn it?
