  1. and expensive for this purpose
  2. chip sticks to chequer plating, the Plastic would be a good option IMO, or marine ply
  3. not qualified but kinda wish I was!
  4. You could probably track down a barrel maker in Romania, be cheap as chips I suspect!
  5. phew! And ive been saying for a while that AOD photos ive seen have all the marks of typical armillaria presence.

  7. absolutely in keeping with my views, also tend sto be shaded limbs, small inner branches mostly:thumbup1: just my LIMITED experience and opinion
  8. Given the calorific value of sugar, i would guess timber gathered in spring first flush would be highest calorific value?
  9. So busy looking at the brackets I hadnt even noticed that at the front of the image! lol:blushing: and your right, that does indeed look like the same culprit, so guessing you have both here, I need to find that one too now:thumbup1:

  18. when I studied all the lit i could find on the subject of mulch I learned the best was Cherry and hawthorn chip (research by Dr Glyn percival) and decided that mixing this with a third grass clippings or green manure using clover would produce a good balance:thumbup1: If I was asked to mulch a tree for instance my preferred method would be cardboard then grass or green manure with hawthorn/cherry or the tree species it was applied to then a compost tea added periodically with a small dose of mollases:thumbup1:
  19. if we get nuked, you me and all the u.k will not have to worry about it anymore. one nuking will beget another and the end will be here, so why not have a better health service and education system for the bucks and let the others be idiots with the button?
