  1. Not sure how far i have walked, but i have spot sprayed 2 hectares today. Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk.
  2. If cost and space are not an issue, why not build all three ! Then you will know.
  3. Good luck. It will be cracking job if you get.
  4. It is the wrong time of year to lay a hedge, the best time is when the leaves have dropped. Hawthorn wood is not very elastic, anything over 5" is hard to lay without snapping off. At this time of year their is bound to be something nesting. Most nesting restriction end at the end of July. Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk.
  5. Shiney lycra legging do the same job under chainsaw trousers, and have the added bonus that you you can do a special dance for your wife before you go to work. Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk.
  6. Are you put the bed on excisting grass, if so line the bottom with cardboard. This will kill off the weeds, and rot out by the crop roots get to it. Good soil takes years to build up. Some crops particularly carrots and onions prefer poor soil. Start small and get bigger each year, otherwise it can daunting. Well rotted dung, seaweed are great soil improvers and generally free or very cheap. Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk.
  7. What ever it turns into its going to be big, so it should make it easy to spot. Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk.
  8. Wych elm. Good resistance to Dutch elm Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk.
  9. Pushing the boundries, well done keep up the good work. Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk.
  10. you push the right hand side against a scaffold tube or similar, and the two halfs come apart. once through it will not come apart and you can use it a an anchor point.
  11. Try as i might, i can not quite read the lables. It looks to me like lots of flower stuck on branches.
  12. Fortune favours the brave. Double the time and money you think that it will take to get running. Is it a Fordson ? Book price for non running mostly complete is £950, to good restored £4500. Do you feel lucky ? Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk.
  13. Crazy crazy crazy fool. I would not describe his landing as a landing, more of a controlled crash.
  14. Does anybody have one that i can blatantly steel ?
  15. Is that one or two ?
  16. I have noticed a five or six around here, but only dismantled one so far. I have put it down to the after effect of the cold winter last year.
  17. :):) Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk.
  18. Bah tis only a tiddler, quit yer bleating:D Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk.
  19. Look what my splitter found to night. Glad my chainsaw did not. I was not so lucky on the next one. It split with a ping and showered me with red ants Ow ow ow. Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk.
  20. Oh yes we are. More tea vicker:) Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk.
  21. Ere you go, guess away
  22. All you need to complete that is the Hovis boy walking up the cobbled lane.
  23. Any ideas where be to i can get new friction plates for the winch with no name ?
  24. Jays fluid, like marmite you either love the smell or hate it. Just don't knock over half a can of concentrate in the back of your landrover
  25. The tree appears to have 4 horizontal branches that the vertical water shots are growing from. Starting from next year, remove one vertical water shoot from each of the four horizontal branches. Repeat this process every year for the next four years. This approch will reduce the amount water shoot re-growth. During this you also need to start encouraging more horizontal growth that will produce the fruiting spurs. For a tree of that size you will probably need 4-6 per branch. Once you have the desired number you want prune 2 of the horizontal branches every year cutting out everything that not on the 4-6 fruiting branches. Finally every fifth year do nothing to allow the tree some much needed respite. In about ten years you should start to get reasonable amounts of fruit. In addition to this for the first ten years i would in june time pick off about 1/2 of the apples that are on the tree, again so the tree does not over excert itself. Clear as mud
