I would be contacting them with a quote for the fencing and asking which department to send the bill to.

When i was looking after 100 acres with 1 apprentice there was some 4 acres of grass under parkland oaks that used to grow like stink. I used to pick a nice frosty day in February and take the 10' roller to it. It would look lovely and striped once the sun came out and the top of the grass would burn off much faster than mowing and no clippings to get rid of. Very sandy soil so i know it would not work everywhere!

If it is dry enough and long enough then cut. No such thing as first cut or last cut in my book. An early cut in Feb saves so much hard work in April when there are so many other jobs to do!

Wait until they start to green up and then decide whether you need to use a selective weed killer or to spot treat each clump with glyphosate -
I am retired now so it would make no difference other than i can't go to the pub or anywhere else

Yes i dig. Great if you have time and energy to spare

If you have access to a loader tractor or telehandler with a muck fork. Bury the fork into the hedge and lift until resistance is felt then get of and cut. Pile up and burn. Buy the chip and firewood as you have saved a shed load of time!

How does one keep logs at 20% at this time of year ?????
headgroundsman replied to cessna's topic in Firewood forum
Either use a kiln wacking out heat to dry it and then vacuum seal it in industrial plastic or import it from the other side of the world. This is the obvious answer! -
What to do with 10 acres of land
headgroundsman replied to Danny Boy's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
It depends why you want the land. To make money? doubt you will make much. To grow your own timber? possible but not profitable. Xmas trees do not like boggy grown, willows and alders do -
Regardless of any of the arguments for or against no one can deny that more heat goes up the chimney than would if it were seasoned properly without a kiln

I know of one that was chipping arb waste to fire his kiln and for every 4 buckets of this chip he added a bucket of the clean dried chip to get a good burn. A sinful waste of wood and energy. Anyone that says burning wood is zero carbon obviously does not understand that burning more wood to get dry wood is a waste of energy
