  1. hahha its been ruined, doesnt find the same stuff now!
  2. rope night huh, you do realize the unfortunate nature of the name dont you!
  3. ditto and girdling like that gives a poor prognosis im afraid
  4. ive been telling you all this for ages, the nitrogen tolerant lichens are now thriving because of it.
  5. benzoin bracket perhaps ischnoderma benzoinum
  6. my savoys are in trays on the sill as are broccolli and leeks cant really do much till these hard freezes stop, spuds are all ready to go out too, and sown me peas first sow in trays indoors, soon as frosts stop or get les severe im outing the lot, with fleece if needs be
  7. The holding up of the flying oak of shropshire lunge:lol: Copyright Rob mc bride
  8. I wouldnt say GOT to, sounds like over management to me. thats two in one thread stating reductions on sycamore are a no no:confused1: this list of trees we cant prune is growing!
  9. never?mmm sounds a bit black and white to me:001_rolleyes:
  10. one of my faves is the goldfinch, and the bullfinch (cock)
  11. Just keep the feeders going, maybe plan a few things to attract wildlife, a scots pine a birch some teazles, they will come:thumbup1:
  12. yep there be metal! nice stack though simon, get yourself a minimill and slice it up, enough there to kit your whole house out!

  17. yep topped up the feeder today, been going through a lot this winter, poor little things are having a tough time this year
  18. see, wasnt even hard was it!
  19. if the soil level is not restored (via air spade if soil has been raised for over a growing season) then decline will be basically a slow and painfully obvious outcome. Expect armillaria followed by xylaria polymorpha
  20. Its a shame BS 3998 2010 is not being used as intended, these "vague" issues wouldn't occur. apparently arbs arent qualified enough to be assessing such things, so how could one be expected to decide for oneself which is the faulty limb? If the OP isnt sure then the specification was poor:001_rolleyes: I see this all the time and its really one of my bug bares, specifications are that, specified, a total stranger to the job should be able to turn up blind with the spec and be in no uncertain terms as to the job at hand. If there is any discrepancies on completion the spec can than then be taken into the argument. Its as much for the operator as the managers/boss, theres no arguments between the crew/manager/and client when specified correctly
  21. the soil is raised more than a bit, needs clarity, as for mechanics, dont over estimate this fault
