When I was growing veg properly on an allotment some years ago it was always the understood wisdom to either net carrots or grow them with alternate rows of onions.

Had it in both apples' fruits, both pears' and the gage; all fruit rotted on the tree. You need to pick it when it first appears mouldy and deeply bury it or remove it from site apparently.

Getting fit to going for hiking and climbing a Tree
nepia replied to gromitbarley's topic in Climbers talk
For hiking just get out walking to condition the legs. I've done it recently myself and there is no substitute for getting miles under your belt. I guess climbing could be the same but there are countless members on here who will have better to say on that one -
Meetings with remarkable trees, the Arbtalk version
nepia replied to Steve Bullman's topic in Picture Forum
Stunning; great tree -
Had a Replacement Order from Epsom a few years ago that provided a selection of five species to choose from for the replacement, none of which were that of the outgoing tree! I don't think you can grumble at that

No

You've been trying to kill them from the outset! Olives want heat and sun, sun, sun in well drained ground. The conditions you describe would suit willow better

Why are you persisting with the idea of growing a round peg in a square hole? Give it up and grow something that will take the chalk - like yew!

the “seriously overcrowded” train finally coming to a halt in Reading more than two hours after arriving in London Paddington. Eh?

Yew 🤭 Thrives on chalk - look on the Downs

Tis the season to see Fungi, fa la la la la....
nepia replied to David Humphries's topic in Fungi Pictures
Just bought it and am struggling a bit; he does like the sound of his own pen -
Forever. You're on the edge of the North Downs there (I lived in Caterham until a few months ago). Until ~30 years ago there were settlement ponds (I think) on the site of Tescos at Purley Cross dug from the bedrock. Pure chalk.

Bats... lovely little things but causing mayhem here! I asked on here for a survey a while ago: little did I know what was actually involved. Two surveys down, another one booked for the winter I think (to determine if the active roost in the house cladding is also a hibernation roost) and one for May/June next year to see if it's a maternity roost! We've withdrawn our planning application as a result as we wouldn't be able to do anything until at least next August and there's other stuff we want to get on with. The recent pre and post dusk survey identified activity of five species in the vicinity. The 7 individuals seen roosting during the day in the cladding were Soprano Pipistrelles

Good idea to include which part of the country you're in 😊
-
Yes, what the heck did they do? Must have been as big as dropping it off a truck or similar; I've dropped mine off ramps more than once with no ill effects. Or they drove the truck over it...

I don't know whether to say that's just old school or whether you should be locked up in an old school 🤔

Aspen available in 25L drums - both 2 and 4-stroke

Aspen for years here in Stihl, Husky, Echo, Honda and Subaru. Never a problem

I could be tempted but can't help in the time frame I'm afraid. Sorry!

Hello Jo. How you doing? Have you asked Ed Willment (Treespanner)? Jon
