  1. We are working in an Alder carr, making it wetter. Some trees are covered in Alder tongue, but the majority have none.
  2. The more i read about lichens the less i understand. Way more complicated than just Algae/ fungi symbiosis. Its good when nature makes you go WTF.
  3. @David Humphries Ascocoryne cylichnium? but i don't have a microscope to compare the spores
  4. Generally with BT lines we undo them from the top of the pole and drop the line. Fell or dismantle the tree and reassemble. If the line gets broken get the customer to ring BT to report a fault. We won't do this if the line is supplying loads of houses. Power lines always have a yellow sign warning of death on them.
  5. I kept coming back to the Purple Jellydisk, but it didn't seem to fit. But i can not find anything else similar. Cheers @David Humphries
  6. I give up, any thoughts? Very small, gowing on sweet chestnut. Grovey purple to.
  7. Have you produced any viable seed? Some of those would be suitable for a couple of my sites.
  8. Lifting and turning, no BT lines were hurt in the makig of his video.
  9. I will be there for 2 days
  10. I have just got one of these for my Doosan 63, so far so good
  11. Good job i only want 24" 😁
  12. I think that is what I will end up doing, it also means i can use them for other things
  13. Forgot to add shit diagram
  14. Back to the drawing board . Next option is 2 sleepers parallel 8" apart, with 3× 24" scaffold poles drilled through and bolted. The tracks on the digger are 7' wide, so i can either track across or along them. That will also work out the cheaper option.
  15. I think I will try a few of these. Used Ground Protection Mats - Safe Trak Mat - SAFE-CYCLE SAFE-CYCLE.CO.UK Ideal for moving heavy machinery, creating temporary driveways and parking areas and protecting ground in various... I will splice some polyprop loops in the middle so i can easily move them around with the digger . I might make a few out of sleepers and scaffolding poles, but they will be very heavy.
  16. Thats what i hoped , but within a month of re-skinning my tunnel most of the tape that was stuck over existing tape had fallen off. Luckily a tree then fell across the tunnel, so i had to re-do it properly.
  17. You have to scrape it off, otherwise it will fall off within a month.
  18. I have a wet site that i am going to be making wetter, and i need to access with my digger. Does anyone have any recommendations for track/bog mats?
  19. This works well From Sealey, I've drained 2 hydraulic tanks and a few fuel tanks with it.
  20. Ere ya go @Donnie, dealing with small dead trees. Not a bead of sweat was produced.
  21. I stopped using Ecoplugs, because it is a very expensive way of treating stumps, and the plastic will still be there in 500 years I just use neat round up in a 10mm hole, 1-6 holes depending on the size of the stump. I use a hand held sprayer which has a pump handle on top, you just need enough pressure for the Glyphosate to trickle out.
  22. Rewrite what you have written with 50% less words. Pick certain key words and use the thesaurus on the computer to give you alternatives. A short paragraph with concise information, will convey professionalism.
  23. High up on Raven crag, lake district, and out of reach of sheep, a juniper smeared to the rock face. It must be an old tree, the stem is about 3" in diameter.
