Lovely Do you have a reference for us?

I am building a forestry barn on a plot of land with a very steep gradient. do any of you have any experience with slope stabilzation in general. in specific i was wanting to use trees to net the banking together. i was thinking on using willow to start due to it being quick growing and to suck out the water. then i thought alder would be good because i heard it had a very deep tap root (is this true?). any other species reknown for their tap roots? Any other suggestions?

got a job to clear a large patch of rhodies high on a fell side. is there any arbicide that kills them (and if so is there any regs controlling it's use) or do i have to burn the stumps out. no chance of getting a mulcher up there.
-
anyone running a 576xp?
-
if it's dry it will burn well. lots of oil in it.

trees are a renewable resource. so long as we are planting, then no guilt. do you all have active replanting programs? if not get on it. the woodland trust will provide free trees for you to plant on private land. pm me for the north west regional contact or look up the head office online. if you're cutting every day and not thinking about this then i think you're missing a fundemental dimension of awareness and should rethink. veterans i strongly believe should be protected. i believe it is each and everybodies duty of care as professional in the industry to be actively watching out for and responding to unscruptulous development.

so do you refund anyone that does what you ask and cuts the gear up?
-
the chain was out the box. so should of been good. i like the down hill tip. Do you position yourself above the bar and push or pull down onto the wood? I was putting in spacers every metre. any anti vibe gloves you'd recommend? it was a douglas fir. the butts a bit wider then my mill and saw. what's the best way to deal with that? cut it in two or saw off the sides? I'll try and take some pics.

dig them out and sell them for big money. certainly more then spoons
-
would be lovely that

who here would do anything about there usage. we're quick to moan but who wuld set a limit on the distance they travel to 30 miles and if they got an enquirey out side the area then pass it on to a colleague and hence reducing fuel usage, carbon emisions, etc. who would do it? would i do it? it could work with a recipricol arrangement
-
have any of you heard about 'peak oil'? if not look it up. It's a limited resource and us humans have apparently got through more then half of what we know is in the ground, and more of us are using more of it then at any time in history. Hence... prices go up.
-
don't do it dave
-
I made my first effort at milling yesterday. Loved it but found it fairly hard work. Any advice from you that are tried and trested would care to give would be well recieved.
-
funny... there's many a debate on here where people won't pay skilled groundsmen and climbers £80 a day.
-
a lot of the shots of the trees on the lake shore are by friars crag down from the theatre by the lake. awesome root structures on display
-
they are groundies, not climbers, but more then just a brash dragger
-
what you paying for a groundie hodge, I know a few but they are upper end groundies with climbing tickets, know how to lower and been in it for a while etc. even if it just helps to tide you over.

i find those crates garden centres get paving stones delivered in are great for seasoning wood in. Free, keep it off the ground, no stacking, just chuck it in. -

you could always get them to pollard it. It would grow into a fuzzy lollipop but it would save the tree and eat up carbon still
