    Or applied to the leaves with a gloved hand

    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
  4. headgroundsman
    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!

    I find if the wood is dry it is easy to light! I like soft wood for lighting and hard wood once lit for heat and longer lasting between loading up.

    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!

    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

    The one thing that people seem to miss, IMHO, is that if wood, or any other fuel, is burnt for a process that is not needed, i.e. drying wood that could be dried over time in the air or dried is a solar kiln (poly tunnel). Then this is wasted heat and wasted CO2 not a "carbon neutral process".

    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

    How many tons of wet wood are burnt in a kiln to produce this dry wood? What about those particulates. It beggers belief how wrong this is on so many levels

    If you have power near by a cheap corded saw might fit the bill. I use a titan from screwfix and it does all my wood and a few cube to sell

    I don't think you can be classed as self employed if you are doing the same work as you would as employed. You do not have the option to choose whether you are self employed or employed you need to meet some conditions. Check this out! Check employment status for tax - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

    Is oak best milled green or part seasoned?
  20. headgroundsman
    You can only use their chain with self sharpening saws
  21. headgroundsman
    Thanks

    Does anyone have or know someone that does mobile milling with a bandsaw. My mate has some oak on a farm near Fradley ws13 post code and with like to get some usable timber

    I dragged one with a ford 4610. H&S might have had something to say as i pulled from the top link pin and front wheels 3 foot off the ground. Not saying anyone should do this just saying what i did with no one looking

    I remember my mates dad having a saw with a villiers engine and a kick start. 60" bar. Only used it on the large park oaks and then always made a cut with a smaller saw to put it in once started

    0.8x0.8x0.8=0.512 so very nearly 1/2 a cubic metre
