  1. Compared with moter manual, a stroke head is productive. A head like these needs years of identical trees to make any money, and i don't get that in west Wales. If i was to go mechanised then it would be a 14 tonner and suitable head.
  2. In fit of daydreaming at the APF, the Tapio 320 stroke head from Richard Court ticked most of the boxs. I still can't afford the £35k price tag Tapio – RCFEngineering RCFENGINEERING.CO.UK
  3. Yes I've made something similar for re lining pipes before .
  4. Looking good, those GRX grabs are brilliant
  5. Not sure about these, growing on a dead pine about 8 feet up.
  6. Two days of prep , to send big lumps across the A477. Went surprisingly well. I didn't get much time for filming, as we had to keep the traffic flowing .
  7. Proper biochar is fractured internally during its production, giving it a huge internal surface area. This means it holds moisture in the soil structure, and it means that I have to do alot less watering in the drier months . There are also other claims about nutrients and fungal myceilum, but i have no evidence of these.
  8. Its Ganoderma, and i confuse myself to which one. Oaks seem to co-exist with this fungi for quite along time, but i expect that the root compaction is not helping and will speed up its demise.
  9. No idea what these are like, but they do seem to be well thought out. Petrol Log Splitter with Lift - MDL PowerupMDL Powerup WWW.MDLPOWERUP.COM Petrol Log Splitter with lift. Electric start petrol and diesel engine options. Hydraulic lifting table. Includes 3 Year Warranty
  10. It looks like its been ring barked. You are onto a hiding for nothing trying to keep it going, it will keep declining until it falls over. Start again.
  11. Thats one hell of a log, if a crane of that size is struggling to move it.
  12. Finishing the week with a good sunset.
  13. If anyone is interested , and you have access to Spruce, and the time every 2 weeks to collect samples. You can take part in the Ips survey. myForest • About Forest Lab MYFOREST.SYLVA.ORG.UK myForest provides comprehensive online mapping, digital tools, and the latest resources not only to sustainably manage... Thankfully nothing has turned up in west Wales this year.
