Bang on Steven,oh,but those 'little hedge jobs' has got me going again...must go get em sorted:001_smile:... Sometimes If I cant clear my head before I go to bed,I put something silly where I will find it the next morning,like a clothes peg on me tooth brush with a note on it,makes me smile in the morning & reminds me to get a grip on the positive thoughts I had when I stuck it there.

Well I get stressed pretty heavily too,my own fault for reacting to things that realy are no big deal,they are the ones that get me,the stuff that is worthy of concern gets dealt with. Never used to give two hoots about any kind of grief,as I get older,(more ancient),things stick in my craw,must be a learning process gone wrong,bit like the proverbial 'picking at a scab',time soon to defragment the old hard drive & clear out some old clutter. A good start for me if things are getting on top has been to write a short note of how I feel about something(s) that is stressing me out,then look back on it a few days later,or when I'm on top again,to see if I can work out why I got stressed & how I could have better dealt with what seemed impossible at the time.

Maybe something like these; Prescription safety glasses and safety spectacles - safetyspecs.co.uk

Dont know,but would dust be a prob with contacts?
-
Yes I would rephrase it,dont like to see anyone make a 'spectacle' of themselves.

Haha:laugh1:,love the tactics...actualy,whilst on the subject,I would have gone for a less radical technique too with most of the fells Ive seen from Dadio,but then I tend to try & err on the safe side of safe. -
Thats a cool tip Sloth,thanks.

Bit extreme in your asumption in my opinion,or was it a dig? Love a bit of discussion,its healthy,but I cant see the need for angled drivel,isnt that why the last thread got stopped? -
If used as a top dressing,from my understanding,fresh chip is fine,& wont deplete soil bound nitrogen significantly.
-
Lovely bit of kit,& doing a great job too, I know nothing about this side of our work,& so for me it would be nice to see more of this on the forum,with the odd thread with pics & words of explanation on the process of evaluating viability,& how the resite part goes.

Sold some down here to boat yards over the years,as big lumps,& some nice curved stuff from old oak pollards,had a few of then turned their roots in the '87 storm'. A joy to see them utilised in restoration work,and look round down below at the work done & the timber notched & bolted in,giving it a new structural purpose. Lovely stuff.

Huck is about right in my book,I do tend to keep my hardwood chippings from the winter seperate from the 'leafy' summer pruning stuff,& the acidic evergreen has its own heap too. Got a good suply of well rotted cow manure,that mixes in well with the leafy stuff.
-
Nice reduction,they will handle this ok,well climbed too,but huck's reduction is soo much more subtle.....
-
Yeh right:biggrin:,go on fess up, was you giving it 'WOW,AMAZING'!

That fell between the houses was a heavy duty call,impressive work!

Busted!,fair comment!
-
Is that an 'out of the motor side window' shot,or are the raindrops realy that big up there? Must have been a lot of glacial activity there after that lump landed,that will have made a big hole for itself when it hit the deck. I love bitesized cows too,round here it's all mud & massive moos.

Had a day on the stumps myself today,I use a diamond coated disk on a cordless grinder to dress the teeth up,no probs,tend to grind the iron down with a normal grinding disc,then go with the diamond coated to stop it clogging up,there is a good suplier I have posted,(run a search on here),they give a very good discount if you buy 3 or 4 off them,if you cant find it pm me & I can set you in the right direction. Mine have given me nothing but bloody good service & economy,combined with the excelent Makita L XT cordless grinder(thats an expensive tool,but very very good). The green wheels are good,but dust to nothing if they grind the iron,and use a dust mask with them anyway,you do not want to get the dust in your lungs from these,it's not good news.
