Pardon my ignorance but if farmed bees aren't honey bees what are they?

When I'm unfortunate enough to obtain willow, poplar or lime that's too big for the chipper and needs to go for firewood I put them in the softwood pile. I hadn't noticed that lime was any poorer than pop, say, but it's certainly not great as a firewood Must try the salad thing 👍

...which would have left the machine on the tilt when working surely unless you went to the trouble of chocking it?

Yeah - go Jo!

I don't know how detailed you guys are making your searches but a good friend of mine was given a kit for his birthday last year and ended up confronting his mother over the half brother neither he or his sister knew about! Fortunately things have turned out pretty ok but it has led to a falling out between him and his sister over an indirectly related matter

...he shouted while running away after lighting 'wee chipper thread' blue touch paper!

I had a petrol Mignon and found it a great machine once it was going. But it was a pig to move anywhere - it had next to no ground clearance so unless you move it on good flat concrete it's a real pain to get anywhere and heavy with it. Very good as a static machine though; I loved the foot pedal function for gripping logs with the blade
-
I thought it was all one piece too, i.e. it looks like the split stem is gripping its own side shoot which I thought was a bit nifty.

Can we swap? I'm watching waves of rain blowing horizontally across the field in front of the house!

Not something I'd bother with myself but you can pull the stems in a bit with heavy gauge wire and keep the outside annually hedge trimmed Perhaps that could satisfy all family demands The tree will have some value to wildlife for safe roosting and even nesting sites as well as a source of small insects

Loving those bowls Thom! The ones near the bottom of the pics with the green blobs and streaks - sycamore or holly? Good to see someone using elder instead of rubbishing it but as a turning wood - well, won't it pull itself to pieces as it dries further? It's a very wet wood when green

Well Happy Birthdays all the way from East Hoathly 🎂

Did someone dab him in it to try and put him in his plaice or was it just an unfortunate act of cod that the FC found out? Bet he's a sole trader -
From forestry to fishery; a big change of direction. Only a smooth hound could pull that one off

Aspen's exy stuff so save a little and get 25L at a time. The canisters are good for re-use (not for re-filling with Aspen though that may come one day); child locks on both cap and breather

Stolen equipment register for chainsaws and other arb equipment
nepia replied to Steve Bullman's topic in Stolen Equipment
Oh dear. Yet another system failure; the guy you dealt with (known to me you may recall but have been diplomatic enough not to mention) was very keen and a true believer in what he did. Sorry it didn't work out. Sometimes you wonder who's side who is on; I regularly got that feeling over 30 years!!! -
Stolen equipment register for chainsaws and other arb equipment

🤦♂️ Disappointing! If they don't know about Immobilise there is no hope; it's the national standard for recording stolen identifiable property and was presumably introduced to rectify the situation where each force held its own register - like that was going to help much! Have you made Forces aware of Arbsafe? I don't know who you'd tell - the Crime Commissioner perhaps -

My simple but brutal answer to the thread title Steve is that my gear's registered on Immobilise, the first port of call for crime investigators recovering equipment. Am I right in thinking Arbsafe is linked to it? Jon -
You too Mark; I'm sure you'll be leading from the front 🍺🍺

Any major geological event, e.g. a supertsunami or the flooding of North America when the ice dam gave way

And Season's Wishes to you too. The sky at sunset time was a little different to that one down here - and it was leaking too

@Billhook that's some gathering of thrushes; very impressive

Brilliant Pete; thanks very much I'm lucky enough to see and hear curlews every time I visit the top of Scotland, an annual event Jon
