Mole Valley farmers open as usual. They will stay open because of animal feed etc

My customers just txt me and cancelled anyway. So there's my decision. Start the gardening at home.

Yep looks like it. I'm just going to stop working until I'm told it's all OK. No point 3 tree surgeons working in someone's back garden removing Mrs Jones cypress tree. Not really essential at the moment.

Did have some work but my climber staying away now, I'm thinking just stopping now. Get outside with the kids. All my kit is paid for so don't owe any thing, I'm a bit in limbo about work, not sure anyone will have any money after this. I can do some solo forestry but if lockdown ya ain't avowed out.

Yeah starting to effect work now, my climber dosent want to come to work now (his wife won't let him). I'm happy to carry on as normal. Got a few tree jobs that I could of done, but not on my own (ain't going to climb solo). I have got a 50 quid hedge to do and 12 tons of ash to split so will be busy next week. Then just hit the beach surfing with the kids I suppose. Honestly I think this is going to last months not weeks The only good thing is I'm on interest only mortgage and now is £90 pr month. Will start to worry in couple weeks but not now. -

Rock machinery. Venom log splitter thoughts/experiences
otter replied to Mark 77's topic in Firewood forum
I got v one.. Jd engine, cheaper version. Pretty fast splitting actually. (I've owned many different splitters) I joined the 2 handles together with a piece of pipe so I can use it with one hand. Like I said I'm very pleased with build quality, reliability and performance. -

I've got the 12t one. Can't fault it. Would recommend it for sure. Owned now just over a year and split well over 40ton of logs That's arb waste aswell -
The country would of felled and run out of hardwood by then

People selling a dumpy bag for £50 here in Devon ?

What about the moisture content in the wood that is burnt in the kiln to dry the wood??? How would that be 15% mc?? Would you air dry it to below 20% to dry kiln to 15? This county drowning in idiots , and all the industrial biomass boilers burning green wood? Don't make sense.
