I have an aebi and a front flail, we plant to appropriate spacing in a grid pattern and go in every year until the trees are away, old mans beard is the Bain of my life as it Bends the trees over clogs the mower and grows at a hundred miles an hour! I'm sure a compact tractor would do the same job as the aebi was quite expensive but it's the best bit of kit ever as you know it will still be upright at the end of the day:thumbup:

If your young, newly qualified, live with mum and dad go to college or uni, unemployed, long term volunteer in the week? I would have jumped at the chance for a job like this at college much better than working in a dirty night club! Also we never know what is round the corner im sure we all know some one who started sweeping the floor and now is the top man in the company and when your a student remember all those £1 a pint nights? thats £50 pints!!!

Ahh yes it is the buttress is definatly flatter and a less angle. however i had just put it down to the mower rash, i will try to get a pic of the canopy soon thanks for looking at it for me Rich

Hi David, saw this post a few weeks ago and was inspecting a few trees in a garden by a river and came across this, its on a sallow, didnt seem to have affected the canopy in comparison to the others alongside it. unfortunately i deleted the picture of the canopy trying to get it off my phone and on to the computer. The actual root has broken through so but you can still see how it has squashed and flattened the buttress if i am passing again i will try and get the photo again. cheers

Debbie does Dallas! or was that a different video?

get the soldering iron out, i fixed my water butt with one last year when it froze and split:thumbup: Also couldnt get my cement mixer going the other day so got a socket on the fly wheel worked out which way the engine runs and got the cordless drill to spin it over, just pull it off quick when it fires else it will spin you round and round like on the cartoons! just saves a bit of arm work:thumbup:

I have an 18v makita and its awesome been driving m10x 200mm long coach bolts today in to sleepers, I also use it to put wheel clamp on trailer as it has so much more power than drill. It is 1/2 weight of drill so for good using above your head all day. you cannot drill with it though as the clutch just chatters. Best tool ever:thumbup:

I think exidia thuretiana white brain fungus it becomes transparent as it dries. Looks like silicone sealent:biggrin:

Yes good question, I'm sure some one may correct me if I'm wrong. Some hosts such as larch are susceptible to hosting the spores on both their bark and foliage. Holly are susceptible to leaf infection but not bark and oak bark but not leaf. Symptoms of susceptible bark include bleeding cankers and resin bleeds on stem and branches However the FC table shows species with resistant bark in the natural environment, but when it is taken to the lab most species become susceptible, presumably this means in theory no species are safe? Cheers rich

im still waiting for my doggie ball thrower to turn up!

whilst browsing the net trying to stay off you tube I came across this and i like the cross bow idea New Tribe Technical Matters

That's impressive, there is a guy at 17 mins with the biggest safety pin holding his trousers together, clearing a log jam with dynamite!

Try this Forestry Commission - Phytophthora - advice to owners, agents and industry the download 3/4 way down the page called replanting affected sites is quite good and has a table to tell you what is ok to plant

you may need to be chapter 8 qualified to use them, otherwise highways can come along and shut the job down and land you a big fine. Good luck
-
Thanks Jamie you are the first person who I have come across who actually has seen one! I missed them at the apf so need to stop faffing about and get one ordered thanks again

Pholiota populnea? I'm sure an expert will be along soon!
-
Eagle eye you are right, I find they are more suspicious of scents, so the gloves seem to work and improve the hit rate, it's a great idea to bury them I haven't tried that, I leave behind shed until a dull grey. Had better be a bit careful as i could be like a dog with a lost bone!

Look at the second one down!

I have modified mine with some old ice cream tub plastic to stop them reaching through. Peanut butter does a good job as its sticky so harder to nick. Also wash traps thoroughly ie no blood and wear gloves to stop your smell getting on the trap. The other one we use is kanier or canier not sure about the spelling? They have a massive spring which chops the sq in half. They are hard to find and need to be above people's finger height so need a ladder to reset. Try here Squirrel Traps Good luck

Has any one tried this harness by singing rock, it looks good for movement and seems a good price too? Singing Rock Timber Harness | Clark Forest : Harnesses Not posted a link before so hope it works Thank you in advance

i would also look in to some voluntary work, there's plenty of gardens and big estates down here. It may give you a feel for the industry and when you do go for a job employers will look for it -it shows you want to be there. All the best

They could get a job in a bank or a library if they don't like it!
