every body has there favorate, ask 100 people and you get 100 different answers. The only way you will get an answer is to use them yourself and decide. I like both but for different reasons and different uses. Unhelpfully i have passed the buck back to you.

If the tree died quickly, what ever has killed it will have affected the whole tree. Me thinks that you will have some logs that will smell sweet when they are burned. Time to start looking for a replacement tree. But do not plant it close to the dead one, or it will suffer the same fate. Any ideas what has killed it ?

there will definatley be somewhere nearby where you will be able to help yourself (black thorn is everywhere). Mature trees in pots or bags do not come cheap

If you want your pully to stay in the same place, attach a prussic to the rope on each side of the pully. By the time you get to the crusial pieces lower down, you will have worked out where the pully needs to be. What ever you do will involve a high degree of faffing, good luck and may the force be with you.

NVC classification index help
slack ma girdle replied to Tony Croft aka hamadryad's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
I have tried (unsuccessfully) to get free copies of the NVC. If you want it you will have to buy it. Or do as i do go to to the local wildlife trust and consult them. -
When scratching you head with the tractor manual, and it says on the right hand side, is that looking from the front or the back?

50%, closer to %80. It now lying next to the laylandii

Stunt fells on Friday. Two large laylandii, and a missing static caravan. I only had to cut every thing up, the owner and his merry band of flunkies did the rest.

Oh for a workshop, equipment and the knowledge to be able to carry out major re-construction. Nice work by the way. -
Alien Spawn - or something for the Missus?
slack ma girdle replied to David Humphries's topic in Fungi Pictures
If it was not for the smell, there should be at least one double entendre/ Finbar Saunders post with this thread. But as there are so repellent, nahhh -
Heres mine

how much longer do you think you would have been without the big machines ?

Hit the effected part as hard as you can stand. It gives the muscle something else to worry about, other than clenching up.

As usual i have got it wrong. I followed the link from the first post which leads you to the TECH-TACH TT-700, not the TECH-TACH TT-20k. The 700 reads: Reads engine speeds up to 10,000 RPM with accuracy of +/-1 RPM. Confusion and me always goes hand in hand

I am hoping to go down the lantra/ nptc training and assessing route when i am old and decrepit, but poking around in nooks and cranies looking for bats does sound quite appealing.

£8-£12 around here depending on experience. The acid test is weather they can stay ahead of the the digger when cutting tracks.

Looks to me like a good set up.

hi there James, popular makes very good kindling. :thumbup: You definatly need to change from ton boxs to m3 boxs on your website, or you will have the happy chappies from trading standards a calling.

End of June to middle of july, when silver leaf is mostly dormant.
-
I can not argue with that. But following the link, the blurb says the tachometer go up to 10,000 rpm. I just says what i see.
-
There is always somebody that has to be different...... Anyway most but NOT all rev at about the 14,000 mark, or they used to when i last brought a new saw (admittedly that was 8 years ago).

woodland condition survey
slack ma girdle replied to Tony Croft aka hamadryad's topic in General chat
Talk about giving people what they dont need. That management plan could have been condensed to 1 1/2 pages, a saved us the need to re-read the same thing again and again. I wish that people would remember K.I.S. Keep It Simple Sorry rant over -
The TECH-TACH TT-20K, only measures up to 10,000 rpm, no good for most chainsaws, as they run a 14,000 rpm or there abouts

The VTA Method, lets talk
slack ma girdle replied to Tony Croft aka hamadryad's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Wow this is like big talk, on Mitchel and Web...... :thumbup: -
Both laurel and rhoddie use their leaves to help suppress other plants/trees from growing. when the leaves break down, they make the soil too hostile for anything else to grow. It will take a while for these toxins to leach out of the soil, however if you are in west Scotland the high rain falll will speed this up. It might worth waiting at least a year before planting, as this will increase there chances of survival. Other options are to remove the leaves, however given the size of the site this will probably be impractable. A flame gun and burning away the leaves may help but can have serious implacations for personal safety, and distroying the wood. CCW and the National trust in north wales have spent years removing laurel and rhoddie, it would be worth speaking to them.
