  1. The only reason i sugest to remove the fertile top soil is for the long term picture. As a general rule most native flowering plants that are found in grassland do not do well in the long term as they can not compete with the more aggressive grasses. Remove the nutrient rich top soil and the flowers and the grasses can compete on a level playing field.

  3. Would love to but i am already having Laylandii fun with Timtree81 on that wednesday. I am free on Friday the 2nd of December
  4. If you want wild flower you will have to remove the fertile top soil, as they won't be able to compete with that very healthy grass. You definitely need an orchard on there, and a few pigs.

  10. Getting back on track ladies. Rule of thumb: Is the house on clay soil, most but not all problems are caused by clay soils srinking and expanding. Trees near by will increase this because of there uptake of water. The foundations from most modern houses are deep and solid enough not to effected by tree roots. The tips of tree rrots a fragile things. Therefore are not strong enough to push through soild foundations. However with older houses (80 years plus) the foundations tend to be not too solid and therefore have gaps which can allow root entry. Once roots gain entry they can excert forces up to 5 tons. Therefore if the house is modern and not on clay soils then there is an unlikely chance theat the tree is causing subsidence. However i am not a qualified engineer, if in doubt seek out an expert.

  21. If you haven't got access to a saw mill, then the easiest way is to split down the middle with a splitting maul, and use a chainsaw or jig saw to rough out the shape. It will require a bit more work on the lathe.
