  1. I've got bare poplar. Might have to get the volunteers smashing it into kinderling.
  2. Nice stack!
  3. Quite tempted by this myself. Is there an annual subscription fee or do you just need to buy the unit?
  4. Is there a course in this? Something covering more than CS30 covers?
  5. Does this apply with previously coppiced trees? I imagine it does, but just asking all the same.
  6. Nice one!
  7. Oh Christ. Passed my trailer test last week and asked about what I can actually do now. Got a clear as mud answer. For B+E though, that hopefully means I can be maximum weight including vehicle, trailer and load, of 3.5t. I'm sure that I could do that before though so long as the trailer and load didn't exceed 750kg. Arrrgghh.
  8. Hmmmm. Not as much of axing as I had predicted. As above though. Time for the Annual Coca-Cola Stationery and Resource Rebranding Competition for schools to design the logos for all the departments. Get out those crayons, kids! There's hats to be won!
  9. That's fine. I'll even sweep their chimneys once an hour, on the hour, every hour for the entire duration of LogPile.
  10. Yo. Which country park/reserves do you work at?
  11. Ahh coolcool. Had never heard of it before and wondered whether I had just invented something.
  12. So is it best to cut back to just above the first grow point then? Also, stupid question probably, but is there such a thing as wound paint? Something that can provide a barrier to moisture and decay, while allowing the tree to heal itself underneath?
  13. So long as it isn't in view of your customers and isn't getting in your way, I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.
  14. I've recently booked onto the RFS course and part of that is to get a portfolio of NPTC's and similar. I've worked out that I need CS38 and tree planting, to get the full cert. Problem is, I'm quite scared of heights. Now I have a ticking clock counting down. If I don't beat the height thing then I can't get the full cert. About an hours climbing experience under my belt, quite worried that everyone else on CS38 will have no qualms about dangling from the top of a tree by their toes and I'll be rope-burned and shivering in cold sweat, 4 foot off the ground.
  15. Good luck with that today!!! Mirrors Mirrors Mirrors!!!
  16. Bury them upside down with their feet stuck out and stump grind em right to the root!
  17. Got my first load of lesson delivered. It's quite in depth for a level 2 course, in a good way. Seems all good, just gotta get back into the habit of homework!
  18. Yo. I've just signed up for the HCC distance learning course. It is changing format from end of December this year so that part of the course must be delivered/examined by lessons, thus kicking out the distance learning option. If that makes sense.
  19. Are there any motocross tracks nearby? They'll possibly take it.
  20. aaargghhhh!! the middle finger is all wrong!!!!
  21. Buy a joint, cook it how you like it and carve off what you want every day. Job's a goodn. Just make sure you suffocate it with black pepper and use proper butter. Peng.
  22. Sell it to a yogurt weaver to make a saw horse with.
  23. Poplars = Saw horse material, apparently. Bare that in mind for use of any straight stem of around 15".
  24. Wasp and hornet nest fiddling is a little more of a niche market. I'll try anything once though.
  25. Who's that naughty boy/girl?
