Up yours mr. health & safety. Me in 1987

Well said that man, im sure every decent hard working man/women feels the same, gladly these inbred benefit scrounging scum are far outnumbered by decent people.

That could well be the reason, as olives are not a natural english tree , but have done well in this country because of our mild winters, they have flourished. Then all of a sudden minus 9 comes along, at least i am going to find out what it burns like. The guys given up with foreign trees and want to replace it with a willow, try and kill that mother nature.

Planted this olive tree 5 years ago. Looked healthy the last 4 years, this year it has obviously died. I know its been a dry year but that surely that shouldnt be the reason , its planted next to a pond as well. Seems to be growth around the base. Any ideas?

Last year i ran out of hardwood logs at christmas, Had tons of dry conifer ready to be burnt on the brushwood fire. Said to my customers that i will give them a free bag of conifer logs, if they are ok then i would sell them a load. Everyone said they were great and gave the house a nice fresh smell. Guess where the conifer wood goes now.

Mine took 2 days, so if you aint recieved a summons within a week you aint been caught.

You seem very keen mate, when youve finished yours you can do mine, i wont charge you.

sorry about the multiple quotes, laptops playing up.

Now,dont be so hasty , £20 a ton ? i reckon he is ripping you off. My advice, have nothing to do with him. Just out of interest, whats his name,address & telephone number. Seriously, buy as much as you can afford at that price.

"DITTO" works every time,replace the bolts every time though, they get chewed up a bit .

Go to your local council offices and find out what you can and cannot do, every council has different rules and regs. It may be an idea not to mention exactly where your land is, especially if you are burning brushwood etc. If your happy with what they say you can do it is very important to get this in writing.

Thanks lads, as usual a professional and useful feedback. Seems to me that these 1 man augers are only fit for easy digging soil, i may as well stick to my grafter, at least when my back finally breaks i can cut the spade off and use it as a walking stick. Thanks 18 stonner but i work on my own, 2 mans no good to me.DENT thanks for the info, very interested, depending on price
-
My back cant take much more post hole digging, can anyone recommend a good petrol one man hole borer? Not interested in kanga kids or mini digger/auger as they have limited use.Tried a 2 man stihl years ago and was far from impressed.
-
Couldnt agree more, keep them well serviced and they go on forever, theres not really a lot to go wrong, no electric windows,air con etc , they are just a basic workhorse.
-
I may be wrong (i usually am). softwood bears a cone, hardwoods dont. cant be that simple.

I am on my 5th hilux since 1990, apart from tyres, exhaust, brakes i have only replaced 1 radiator & 3 fog light switches on all 5. They do 28-32mpg, i can cruise at 75mph all day. i usually take mine up to 260,000 miles before replacing it. The only gripe i have about the hilux is its like driving a brick, even the smallest pothole rattles your false teeth, cant have everything i guess.

If your getting 75% of your quoted work your on the right road. 2 reasons why you wont get the other 25% 1. you are dearer than they expected . 2. they dont like you, if someone turned up at your door looking like worzel gummidge would you want them on your property? What would the neighbours think? etc Dont forget when you quote for work , you wont be the only one looking at the same work, they maybe well dressed in a decent car and look very professional , you have to be the same. GOOD LUCK ENGLAND FOR SUNDAY!!!!!

My small size bottles are kept in my shed ,approx 20m from my back door, boc never ask where or how i keep them when i renew the rental every year.

I put about 10 copper nails into the trunk of a conifer 12 years ago, the tree is still there as fit as cheryl cole, sorry tweedy. So in my experience it is an old wives tale.

Cheapest way is surely to just clip their wings.

Franks bang on with his comment. If you want a saw for diy or pottering around the garden then the saw you have would be fine. But if you are going to use it every day then stick to stihl/husky, think of all the days you will miss when your saw fails to start.
-
I try to stack mine bark side up, just seems the most obvious to use the bark as a rain protector, maybe the part of europe that your friend visited dosnt have a lot of rain in summer.
-
its panels with concrete gravel boards. I did think of creeping into the garden late at night and fell it. Joking apart , thanks for the ideas.
