Difficult to catch with a camera as it has ants in its pants and is very quick. Almost resident in the garden
-
What happens if you do leave the lumps to the end? I often do just that with my Jo Beau and I just let them bounce about until they're gone while I rake up

Low impact forestry services in Devon and the South West
nepia replied to Big J's topic in General chat
How the hell do you expect to get a vehicle that size along the lanes of Devon?! -
Unfortunately had to be on the road at the time: this was just outside Devizes the weekend before last. The glow on the horizon was orange, pink, violet all at once and put me in mind of an apocalyptic Hollywood scene

Whatever you do remember that green matter will only be on the outside in the light whether there is one tree or two; so yes, if you have two pressed against each other and you remove one the revealed side of the remaining tree will look the same again. I agree that something was probably removed from against that tree in the pic. If you work it/them at all do it in cool weather when you can wear a spacesuit; the dust and particles from those things are horrendous 😊

Same with the writing on cheques apparently 🤥

Acer suddenly looking very poorly
nepia replied to Goodie's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Are you sure you've watered it enough? 12' is a big tree to plant from a pot and will need many gallons for its first couple of years -
On the subject of the cash cow having been milked I passed petrol station today where diesel has come down 2p a litre in the last two days. The start of a trend? 🤞
-
So on BoJo's way out of the door an 'investigation' into retailer pricing is announced; quelle surprise. Would it be overly cynical of me to think this may be a sop now that many pockets have been heavily lined and the cash cow well and truly milked?

Had a couple of those in the garden recently but they were very much awake!
-
Abso-bloody-lutely. It's called rank profiteering Retailers are playing who blinks first with the meaningless £2 'threshold'
-
How big is yours? And ... Does size matter ?
nepia replied to John Skinner's topic in Firewood forum
You got experience of burning Macrocarpa Stubby? I've no idea how good it is but will surely find out this winter; tree no.4 of it is half dismantled - only another dozen or so to go, the biggest with 4' dbh! -
You're closer than you think; Eupatorium cannabinum is its scientific name!
-
We've had one here a couple of times recently and saw one or two every year at the old place in Surrey. Ceratostigma (hardy Plumbago) was the flower attracting them
-
For God's sake avoid ladders, mirrors and black cats. What a nightmare; sorry to hear it. But glad all are reasonably well

From Michael Ball's Wiki entry: 'Ball lives with the former presenter of Ready Steady Go!, Cathy McGowan. They met around 1989 when she was an entertainment reporter for a BBC London magazine show and interviewed him during rehearsals for Aspects of Love. They have lived together since 1992. On 23 December 2000, she saved his life by dragging him out of a house fire.[1][15] Cathy was previously married to actor Hywel Bennett, the marriage producing a daughter Emma. Emma's son is the godson of Michael Ball'.

Petrol mowers - why do people tie the pull cord to the handle bars?
nepia replied to carbs for arbs's topic in Landscaping
That's the resting position; the manufacturer's put it there so you can brace the machine via the handlebars while pulling the starter cord. -
So stop clearing it up folks; you're knackering the Purple Emperors. Talk about the law of unintended consequences 😋
-
As far as I know I've still never seen one! Now I live in the land of oaks I should make more effort. Maybe I'll leave pieces of rotting meat lying about; the males I think it is like the stuff
-
Me too (!) Andrew but you were good enough to warn me of the potential weakness; thanks
