Dead ivy is worse by infinity than alive ivy. Ivy trees are like laylandii, there aint no easy way, and it make the job difficult, a pain in the backside, awkward, etc etc Have fun !!

Cedars have floppy tops Sitka spruce foliage has a blue hue to it, Norway does not. Spruce are spikey, firs are soft Larch and swamp cypress is brown in winter

You need to speak to somebody at either english nature or your local wildlife trust. They will be able to provide vast quantities of infomation about the negative effect of laurel in woodlands. You also need to approach your parish council to lnform them about what is proposed and to spreed the word to the local nimby's, so there will be less outrage at the damage to woodlands. Good luck

I have finally scrounged enough metal to build my own skidding frame. Carrying on the fine tradition of bodge it and scaper. Or in this case skid. And before anybody points it out, i know the welding is not very good, but it works:001_tt2:

You don't learn by not doing it. I expect that every member here, has had a nightmare with conifers, particularly laylandii. Always add an extra day to the price and explain to the cliant that this is the top price and if you get it done quicker the price will come down. Most people are happy with this. We keep a photo record with times and costs so that we can match the tree to the photo, which has proved to be helpfull to customers

WPD regs say that climbers, trees and anything else must not enter the live zone, Less than 3m. If your tree is 10m away you will be fine as long as everything drops straight to the ground.

I found a pig trough which must have been hung up in a fork and forgotten about. I found it with our chainsaws four times. After sharpening four saws we split the trunk to reveal a perfectly preserved pig trough minus four chainsaw cuts

We sold some firewood to some gypsies, after we delevered it they went through the whole pile too check that there no elder in the pile. The bloke said that his father would not let any elder in the caravan, so they had to check.

Nice mess
-
this was mentioned in an other thread not so long ago, and the the most plausable reason was the long period of cold winds desicating the leaf tips causing the ends to go brown.

Whose's signature is 'wheres my chainsaw shorts and flip flops'. Your going to need a new one now

I bought a 1000 m roll of curtain cord for a fiver from a scrap store. Thicker than zing it, but it has a nice slick feel, and it can be wanged up a tree a fair distance. How about 'the tossers friend'

Coppicing (Bone question content!)
slack ma girdle replied to Pine Marten's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Seven years is not long to generate much firewood. In the good old days 5-7 years would have been for faggots. 15-20 years would have been for firewood -
Bastard shingles, good name. It should be the other other way around, cleving shingles is not an enjoyable task.
-
Are we talking about lots of roots or just one or two ?
-
Sorry to poo poo your fine work in windy conditions, but arn't shingles suposed to be cleft so that the wood fibers are left whole, so that the surface remains water proof ?

Check the rubber tube between the carb and the piston, it does have a propper name but i can not remember what it is called. It is also worth checking the tank breather valve. Other than that, scratch you head and sack (you decide which order) and hope somebody come up with a better answer.
