    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.

    Water shoots do have there uses for providing new structure to older trees. To reduce the amount of water shoots either split the tree into 1/4's and prune one quarter every year. Or split the pruning to winter and summer time. Large branches in winter and smaller branches in summer, but you do need to be aware of the possible problems with fire blight and other nasties with summer pruning. At the end of the day the harder you prune your fruit trees the more water shoots the tree will produce in return.

    It is in the thousands. Most scrappies have a machine that will do the stripping for you. The last time i took copper to the scrappies i got £110. It aways pays to look in skips!

    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.
