  1. I've never heard any discussion before dependent on depth apart from surface vs incorporated. My understanding is that nitrogen robbery is comparatively short-term as nitrogen is used up assisting the decay process: in the long term. nitrogen is returned to the soil in surplus within the breakdown products of that decaying
  2. Out of the growing season I don't care what age is the chip I use as mulch - I was putting chip round small shrubs yesterday that was chipped on Friday. I'm not aware of ever having suffered problems as a result. Remember this is surface mulch, not incorporated matter. I have though stunted plants' growth by planting into ground recently victimised by a stumpgrinder. So I don't think it matter what chip you use

  5. Nowt to do with this thread but I think you're talking about the tank-driving prat in Croydon who also stuck a shark through his house roof as a finger to the LA...?

    One of the best comedy series ever; the oneliners from Hawkeye and MacIntyre were simply non-stop and hilarious
  7. A common garden tree in the south, I doubt so much in the north. So common in fact that we had one at the old house and are growing a baby one here!

  9. Will go to the Acer thread when I get a mo; I'll alert you 👍
  10. I've been holding off a couple until now; hedged I definitely intend to cut soon. The thinking is that they need every bit of greenery to help with recovery from the summer but in November (when they'll be cut) the leaves will have become redundant. I can't see why the rest of the hedge would drop its leaves; crack on I say Btw I've acquired a couple of nice Acers over the summer; I must update that Acer thread sometime!
  11. Bought one about 9 months ago from the US via Amazon. £118 all in but with no rope as I already have it
  12. They are (mostly) docile aren't they. We've had a couple of dozen in the house over the summer not surprisingly and they've been easy to catch and put back out of a window
  13. Just the one? Pah! - We have this above our bedroom window VID-20220909-WA0007.mp4

  20. You really need to get Cobham Services out of your mind Steve. It's in the past; let it go 🤣
  21. It was only taken down to about 10' because the stem bifurcated close to the ground and many years ago the bottoms of the two stems were braced with several large metal rods! Sorry
  22. I researched this fungus on behalf of my father-in-law a few years ago when it was identified on a 70' topped Black Pine. The suggested course of action was immediate removal. As stated it's a brown rotter, i.e. it degrades cellulose. In your pic the house looks a lot less than 25m away!
  23. @JoBuck He doesn't get on here too often @Rob D
  24. This could go the way of the cod fish thing given the right ammunition 😂
  25. You're kidding! Wow; never dropped below 6C here
