    I know what your saying, but I have to confess the condition that the Major Oak is in was rather impressive. some good reduction work and all the propping she has had may seem a little unatural but its kept her in fine shape. Given her age, the condition she is in is amazing and looks like there is a lot of time left in her too:thumbup1:

    IF ANYONE has the ridiculous idea that farming is a walk in the park, especially in the U.K then take a long walk off a short peer! They are held to ransom by the supermarkets these days, you have no friggin idea! talk to the dairy boys, go on I dare ya!

    FERA say we cant ban imports from Holland because it will breach trade agreements, this is BS! France dont tolerate this situation and ban imports. Im not at all happy that despite the 30 year disease import industry link via Holland we STILL put up with it. When will our industry stand up grow a pair and say ENOUGH!

    Hi all, just to assure you this decision was not taken lightly! I turned up friday afternoon while the Marquee was just being finished off. Now when i say the place was flodded I kid you not, on the way in the Lotherton Hall main carpark was welling up, was 1 foot deeper when we left and hour or two later! The Marquee itself was well, see for yourself. There is no doubt this was the right move, you would not have been a bunch of happy bunnies if we had gone ahead!

    I cant believe this hasnt sold out yet! As afraid of bombing as I am, I am really looking forward to it. I do a lot of stuff on the circuit year round, but I think this is going to be one of the best events this year. If you only go for one reason you wouldnt want to miss tha Hama making a balls up and the opportunity to rip the Pee all sat night would ya?

    ha ha ha, I got all excite over the title! the trouble with the data for the measurements of weight/volume in the Armillaria circles is it doesnt acuratley map the zone, it takes into account ALL the area into the circle and works on an average assumption, false info. Makes a good science headline though.

    why the peak then trough then peak again David?

    My bets on Ganoderma Pfeifferi, due to the very blackened spore layer, regression in layers and the orangey hue of the upper fringes
