  1. Try vitis cognetiae. Used to grow in through my first floor windows
  2. Its very hard to say without literally doing it. Essentially its probably the value of the kit and a bit of good will which would arbitrarily be based on turnover. If I was starting up over again I would buy a business, take on the debt and hit the ground running. I was surprised when a local guy to me sold up a good business and had no takers.
  3. It's Friday, has to be done, provided I've thought to book in a ''Friday job''. Get grief when I dont
  4. Definitely affects our area. I got some chestnut trees of my own planted about 1/2 a mile from the boundary!!
  5. Somewhere between the two above imo. Too low and the root rock is too great and too high the stem doesn't learn strength. Depends a bit on the elasticity of the material used for the slings and whether you use 2 or 3 stakes. A bit of judgement is always required.
  6. I'd go for the 4wd version. We run two. I wouldn't be without them but then devon isn't exactly flat. I use the 4wd low range every day
  7. Cotoneaster. Found a few in North devon hedges. Don't think it's native. Probably arrived in birdy poopoo
  8. I think you are doing the best you can and sound like you are matching diplomacy with integrity. Go easy on yourself eh! In a couple of weeks youll be able to look back and chuckle
  9. Great use of space. There's enough space for the German Shepherd it needs too
  10. Defo. Big ones can be really impressive
  11. Defo conny 4. Send it back!!
  12. In a nutty shell that's how I had it. But some species carry on with second and third broods. I think that is what gary was talking about
  13. I gotta hunch you're right. Something of an expert you sound Steve. You don't.......?!
  14. Thanks Guys. Useful to know. I'll see what my web man has to say about that.
  15. Here's ours - it's cost a fair bit so far. Still in progress. Any thoughts very welcome. http://northdevontreesurgeon.co.uk
  16. I've got a 460 and a 660 and has run both with my 24 Alaskan. Using normal bars. Definitely happier running the bigger saw and always worry about chains getting dry. I would say don't push it and 24" would be maximum on a 461 but just my opinion there are some far more experienced guys above. The Alaskan is great and will hold value so a good investment
  17. They look just like the ones I've got which continuous wrap intend of cinching back on themselves. Was hoping to get cinchers! But ta
  18. Evening all After what must be 10 years of putting up with the spikes rotating around my legs and bruising my calves I'm now a bit fed up and want to replace the tops. Anyone fitted good replacements? Not sure if I need an insert. Old ones didn't have them. Pretty sure they are buckinghams. Attachment loop thing looks pretty common - TIA
  19. Had a similar situation with my partner of 13 years just before Christmas. Heartwrenching. Crazy strong bonds
  20. Doogiehowzer that's some pretty woodland
  21. Ah thanks I'll give redwood a call. Ta for the suggestions folks
