    Sycamore: easy to split, and dries the quickest. Ash: Easy to split and burns hot. Cheery: you can not beet the smell of burning cherry, sweeeeeeeeeet. But i am not fussy, if it can be split, seasoned, and burned i will burn it !

    Anything that is thick and sticky will do, you are just limited by you imagination. However don't use anything to edible, and my old dog made himself horribly sick licking off the grease around my fruit trees. You can buy ready made grease bands that stick on from good garden centers or mail order. The last ready made ones i got from the organic gardening catalogue

    I thought that goetropism was the action of roots, i.e. they grow down into the earth. The oposite to phototropism, where plants grow towards the sun. Although i am renowned for getting things wrong. P.S. the top two photo look like they come from outer space.

    I think you have beaten me to having the scruffest tractor. Long may they live. Is there much of a market for popular saw logs, as i have a couple of acres of popular to thin, and i am not sure what i am going to do with all the wood ? would your buyer be interested ?

    Bet me to the answer, although i thought it was different names for the same thing.

    Good spiking action, you can't beat the feeling of narrow bendy balancing with nothing around you.

    A mix of himalayan birch, manchurian and tibetan cheery, under planted with dog wood, and viburnhams. Expensive yes, but visualy stunning. I planted a hedge with this mix about five years ago, and it now looking amazing particularly in the winter with all the different colour barks.

    Pnumatic drill and a sledge hammer. Yet to find a knot that will defy this combination.

    I am glad that all the trees are on the ground, all that it left is to winch them out. Not looking forward to that. The first photo shows the trees before snedding, and the second after snedding. The forth photo shows a particularly bad tree. The branches did not move after they were cut, they were held firmly in place by the brambles. i had to cut the branches again to give me enough room to fell the tree. The third picture shows the chaos after the the trees have been felled. The brash is chest high in places, which is too much for our machinery to cross. So a winching we go, traa la la lar The beech may survive !!

    Particularly as he was banging on about sustainable use of woodlands and not wasting the woodland resources. He left enough for a stool

    I make my own webbing slings using a tape knot. About 1/4 the price of the ready made loops, and they can be made to what ever lenght you spacifically want. I think that the tape knot reduces the breaking strain by about 50%. But i have yet to break one, and i have used some for some highly inappropriate uses mostly involving tractors and large lumps of wood/stuck vehicles
