  1. Supatracks work well. Quick to put in, and quick to remove providing you haven't lost the tool.
  2. Giant Polypore, probably not a good prognosis for the tree.
  3. There is nothing that will remedy that level of canker, other than a chainsaw.
  4. Slime mold, this web site is quite good for I.D. Slime Moulds and allies | NatureSpot WWW.NATURESPOT.ORG.UK
  5. Making a wet Alder carr wetter with a series of dams. Got the digger properly stuck. Debogging.mp4
  6. We are working in an Alder carr, making it wetter. Some trees are covered in Alder tongue, but the majority have none.
  7. 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.
  8. @David Humphries Ascocoryne cylichnium? but i don't have a microscope to compare the spores
  9. 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.
  10. 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
  11. I give up, any thoughts? Very small, gowing on sweet chestnut. Grovey purple to.
  12. Have you produced any viable seed? Some of those would be suitable for a couple of my sites.
  13. Lifting and turning, no BT lines were hurt in the makig of his video.
  14. I will be there for 2 days
  15. I have just got one of these for my Doosan 63, so far so good
  16. Good job i only want 24" 😁
  17. I think that is what I will end up doing, it also means i can use them for other things
  18. Forgot to add shit diagram
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. You have to scrape it off, otherwise it will fall off within a month.
  23. 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?
