So anywhere between 18-24" then. Also how far from a single course wall.... The customers don't want the hedge in the middle of the garden but don't want to interfeer with the wall.... was thinking 14-16"

Evening all, I have a hedge to plant soon, the plants are laurels. Quite small specimins! Probabilly only 14" tall and only 5" wide at the moment. Looking for advice one how far to plant apart really. Would you still plant 18" or even 24" apart even though the laurels are so small? or would they benefit from being spaced apart for the light etc? ANy help greatly appreciated. Going to plant with compost also to get them going Cheers Chris

The saps really crap for clogging prussic's up! Really annoying on a takedown on your metal strop, where you have to propper struggle with it when its gunked up to get it to move! I've bought a isc rope grab for my metal strop.... Not sure what you can do really, i suppose it will give you probs with all hitch cords. I've gone to a spider jack now, will see how that does. good luck! i know, i've been there

Hi there, i'm afraid i have no pics of the tree but, i've been asked to do some work on it (blue atlas cedar) , but have noticed that quite a lot of needles all over the tree have turned a pinky colour and it has dropped a lot of needles..... Is this due to the weather like the other threads that have been started? or something else? The home owner has cut some branches back. I've seen a few cedar that reduce fine and are fine, but not sure whats up with this one. Bit reluctant to do anything at it for now... Any help appreciated (i know its vague)

My problem is when i come to do reductions its the peeling down if you get me? Once you've decided at which height your going to carry it out at, its that point at which you go over the edge so to speak and pull in the top part of the canopy to achieve the shape, so sometimes gives you a wider top so to speak. Also, just thinking about that lime reduction albere did...... if it wasn't for the fact that there was so much dead in it, and imagine it as a healthy tree, it would not be advised to reduce after root loss as to reduce would slow down root growth? assuming the crown was ok...... -
Yay

Exactly, would be arqward to shift! like someone has said, maybe abroad! Theiving scum!

For starters i'd like to say i'm not trying to sell on this thread, just wanting a to find out what a fair price is for my ms200 back handle saw 2006? I bought this saw a while back and havn't really used it, smallest ground saw/chipper saw i use is an 024. The person who had it before me had it from new. 2006 in good condition, all works, bit of a crack in the air filter housing (right hand side) Whats a fair price? No bar and chain now though!!

OMG!! Thats horrible news! Theiving scum bags! Sorry to hear it I hope it all gets sorted soon!

Struggling to get a dolmar 133 super to oil properly! Had the pump off and all the lines..... blown through everything, took pump apart and re assembled. I put the pipe back on the pump and tried rotating the shaft to see if it oiled, should it pump through by just turning by hand? or does it need the speed of the saw? ANyhow put it back on the saw, got it running, and it bubbles a bit out of the oiler hole, some can out then nothing. Seems to try oil a bit when saw level but when on side, its no good... Chris
