  1. What be these two, the first growing out of the base of a spruce. The second growing out of the tmroots of a beech. Very big and smells of rotten fish. And finally a Panther cap
  2. The spring slots straight in, if it doesn't have you put the spring in the right way round.
  3. Is Pembrokeshire too far from you?
  4. Oops scrub the 0
  5. Dolmar 420
  6. Both of these failed within 48 hours of the first rain to end the drought. Although the oak had other fungal factors to aid its failure.
  7. I will give that a go Bob if the current fix doesn't work.
  8. We have possibly narrowed the problem to the shared indicator light on the dash. I have now split the circuits and have two flashers on the dash on each indicator. So far so good
  9. Hi Sean, they are in the grounds of the Mercure bristol north hotel. https://www.mercurebristol.co.uk/ I have no idea whether the atf knows about them. I was there for a wedding and these magnificent trees cause my eye.
  10. Not as much as tbe owner wants. You have to make a living to. Good job the woods don't have valuable black walnut. [emoji38]
  11. Often get it with bacterial wet wood
  12. Some fine veteran oaks near Filton, Bristol, with interesting associated fungi. Nothing out of the ordinary, but the biggest oak bracket fungus i have ever seen.
  13. Cauliflower gall on a willow
  14. Chip is around £35 per ton, saw logs £68 per ton in west Wales
  15. Upload on you tube, then post the link on here.
  16. The mighty Nuffield 10/60 has done my proud for the past 10 years, and is still going strong.
  17. You did say you wanted it cheap and efficient idea. Pully £20, blue pollyprop rope £20, and about 100 times faster than any hand winch..
  18. Perfect. Tie log to rope , this goes up to pully tied to a tree at head height. The rope has a loop on the other side of the pully. Loop goes around your waist and you run down hill, the log goes up. As you are counter balanced, you can jump drops with ease. The only thing to be wary of is wasp nests. The logs needs to be about 1/2 your weight to work well. Used this method for a couple of years for firewood in a rented house next to a very steep wooded slope.
  19. I think that both of those are parasites on the wood boring beatles in your logs. The second picture has a very long ovipositor which makes me rhink it is some forms of of parasitic wasp.
  20. Just mix it in a little bit at a time, nobody will notice. Or make a point of adding a small amount of poplar to each load, and tell the customer that you have added some logs that are good for getting the fire going at no extra cost.
  21. The end of a very hot day, where nothing had gone right; including the filming, as i managed to delete about half of the films that i recorded that day. https://youtu.be/0Ry1b7ZPTPk
  22. Just mix it in a little bit at a time, nobody will notice.
  23. I am fairly sure that it is a saw fly catapillar
  24. Not listed in Moths of the British Isles
  25. Clear as ? I was absolutely frazzled when i filmed that.
