51 yr old, today might be my last climb. Just to painful now after 30yrs. Have damaged knees and ankles over the years which haven't helped.

Your only other option is buy a small field and plant your self. I bought 2 acres 5 yr ago, planted pines,willow, eucalyptus etc, now are all 15ft plus in height.

Water, vinegar, salt and washing up liquid. Safe to animals and environment. The best weed killer I've ever used, really it does work a treat.

I would stay small scale, I went bigger, busy with lots of contracts but it just meant I had no time for self or family at all. Quoting and meetings all the time Paid more tax, wages and expenses. At the end of day was earning not really much more. Well enough to make it worth it. Now I'm back to a 2,, 3 man team, lots of domestic, schools, parish council stuff. Earn well, have more time, less stress. ,, no 3 vehicles at a yard somewhere. Happy days

How are you diversifying your business during Covid-19
otter replied to Steve Bullman's topic in General chat
I've been really busy up to now, definitely getting less work and quotes in all of a sudden. But I Always stash the cash for raining days. Did do a lot of forestry during lockdown and got massive amounts of timber to process into firewood so will be busy doing that if no tree surgery comes in. But yeah gonna be tough next year I reckon. -
Agreed

Have the definitive regulations regarding firewood?

And what about when it's delivered at 18% mc. Then customer leaves on driveway for 3 cold misty winter days and only then gets his aldi moisture meter out and reads 25%,????!!! ? -
Firewood business ? Could we make it profitable in the first 2 years
otter replied to Nickb123's topic in Picture Forum
I've been selling firewood for over 15 years, all barn dried and always sold 20% or below, You just need alot of barn space and be 1 year ahead of you self. Also you need a large, regular reliable source of timber, which I find is the hardest. I run a tree surgery business and a small forestry company, so always had a supply. If I had to buy all of it in, I wouldn't bother, just to expensive to make a profit. -
