I’m not that fussy. - then I can’t afford to be either!

If Rebecca is included, I’m in ?

Supply and demand - it’s only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. If that someone is willing to pay, then that is it’s value ( for the time being at least)

Location will help?

Customer watched a fox take several cubs over a 6ft wall after I removed a screen of conifers dividing the garden. They climb pretty well and can jump high too. Higher fencing with 45 degree outward facing top, like otter fencing may help. Electrified line at the top too if poss. Mine have steel sheeting and hardcore dug into a trench 18 inches deep and backfilled all round the perimeter. Fox trap from the trap man on eBay helps keep the numbers down too ?

What kind of quantity? Hard/soft/mixed?

Oh don’t carp on about it!

This ? 100% correct

Just got an order delivered and tried it today. Very springy and awkward to load and wears down incredibly quickly. Won’t be buying this again!

Had a few chipper blades sharpened by them a few months ago. Took over a month and a chase to get them sent back and I was charged twice. That took several emails, calls and over 2 weeks to get a refund. Business will be taken elsewhere from now on

Did exactly the same when my dad was in hospital and condition worsened- filled up, drove off, came back a few hours later and paid. They hadn’t even noticed! Was a few years ago mind, 1997

Spudulike on here is your man!

Rub with olive oil/veg oil or similar. Gets leylandi sap off skin so may work on this?

It will spread and eventually smother and kill it all so remove, dig out roots and attack any new growth as soon as it appears. A long hard war of attrition but worth it eventually. Replant a new Laurel to fill the gap

I’m still cutting with a 40 year old Hayter 21 - nothing modern can touch it in longish grass and I’m dreading the day It expires or I can’t source spares. Also using a Danarm (so Honda) which picks up wet grass very well, far better than Hayter 48 and 53 recycling mowers. Even a Mountfield Sp550 is better than the Hayters but not as reliable

They’ve been inland for a good few years now and have devastated a lot of waters fish stocks. Fishing clubs can apply for a licence to cull a very limited number, but nowhere near enough to make a difference. What with the reintroduction of otters and our Eastern European friends that eat everything they catch (not ALL Eastern Europeans), our fish stocks have taken a hammering these last few years ☹️

Wow! Quite incredible even looking on the tiny phone screen

And the terrible twins ?

Looks a smasher!

And that’s the opinion of most of these immigrants that we are welcoming into Europe and the U.K.!

Thumbs up for km56, we ran two until a scumbag nicked one 3 weeks ago. Got a 56 and a 90 4mix and I choose the 56 every time. Hate the 4mix and will never have another!

uprighting partially windblown ornamental trees
rapalaman replied to tree-fancier123's topic in General chat
Try one of these 222078190595 eBay number and some strong poly rope to a padded webbing strap or heavy duty tree tie - will save the wall taking the strain. Tied a neighbours heavily leaning 18ft unknown type of tree (from New Zealand), gradually pulled it upright and 8 years on its got a nice strong root plate and is around 25ft - all healthy ? -
I do hedge and tree maintenance at a vets, subbed in by the company that does all their building maintenance and it’s cis payment ever since I started there about 3 /4 years ago. I just keep in mind the figure I Want for the job and add 20%. They pay my tax and at the end of the tax year, part of my hmrc bill has been paid in advance!

Did he agree spec in writing/email? What did you fit - timber posts, panels, or arris rail and feather edge?
