Ok sorry about this random request for info, I didn't know where to put this so general chat it is:001_tongue: but as the title suggests I am trying to find a hand tool that we use. Id dont have photo because its worn out and have trawled google images but have given up so here goes the description Its got a red 5ft aluminum handle and a plastic head, the head is set at a 45 degree angel to the handle and is a thin solid section of plastic about 2 foot wide and it used! to have short square teeth which have since worn out, These things were brilliant for clearing sawdust and crap off hard surfaces and grass and were a bit like a combination of a rake and a shovel If anyone has a vague notion what the feck im descibing please let me know confused1:

No if its trees you love stay put.

Ya pretty rubbish really, little or nothing happening for the last 6 months that coupled with a government uninterested in supporting self employed people. It was a no brainer but a bitter pill at the same time. But my boys are settling in well which is great and im catching up with college mates as well and plus i get paid at the end of the month yahoo:thumbup:

Birr (which was all I was going to say but for some reason Arbtalk says i have to use at least 5 characters, when did that come about

Thats a nice few plants, I know from a commercial point of view almost all bacatta is grown from seed, the only trouble you run into is that the seed needs to be sourced from stock, thats as far away from fastigiata as possible or you'l end up with quite a few mongrels but you can normally tell within the first growing season whether they are true baccatta or a cross. Have fun, my Dad used to own a nursery ill dig out his notes when I get a chance and see when and how he took them. The other probably more obvious point is to make sure you take the cuttings from young vigorous growing plants so a young hedge or something similar.

Well kind of, I sort of went back home to Ireland in 08 and spent several years trying to make it work out there and then got a offered a job with a company i used to work with and thought about it for about 2 minutes and moved back to Kent

:001_smile: all the best on your travels Frank:thumbup:

Hi All moved back to the UK about a month ago with my wife and boys. Im as irish as the day is long but its nice to be back in a country which by and large that gives a S...t about its trees. Dermot
-
Hi Dean is it a particular Yew that your trying to cultivate?
-
It would work but its a relatively expensive method of production normally reserved for plants that root within 2-4 weeks rather than 6 months +
-
Mad looking thing unusual grab on it too
-
As said drop a file size simples

hi mate I have a king cab and I can fit my 3 year olds seat in but I know you wont fit a rearward facing seat in. Crew cab me thinks:001_smile:

I really wouldn't waste time spraying, in order to control the fungus you will need to spray every two weeks during the growing season, fungicide of any description is nasty stuff. I know several nurseries near me and they have all stopped producing the plant because its too difficult to grow. Dythane is the stuff used on spuds and ya that would probably do but id say something like Punch C would be more affective. Normally you will have to alternate the fungicide every spray to prevent resistance If still determined to though oddly enough a grassland! fertilizer like 18-6-12 has quite a good slow release affect and will provide a boost to the plants. But if the hedge has lost a lot of its leaves at its base its unlikely to regenerate from this wood. If your in west cork id put in Griselinia fast growing and will do well in your neck of the woods, cant grow it in the midlands anymore too cold!

Dale Kane tipper all the way, fabulous northern irish engineering have mine a year now and ill never go near ifor again in my humble opinion:001_smile:

Hi All Does anyone know of anyone in Ireland that could fabricate and fit a tipping body onto my ranger. Loads of the places in blighty but its a nuisance to have to take across the pond Thanks in advance:thumbup1:
-
Indeed I did:thumbup1:

They reckon that it will take 80Kg of dried woodchip to power the gasification generator to get the reactor up to 200 degrees at which point it becomes exothermic so ya it then uses the volatiles to continue the process. I think the unit would be fine if you intend living off grid but I reckon you you would have to head for the industrial scale to make it finically viable. I understand that there is a fair amount of sales pitch but producing a hotter burning fuel has to be a good thing, granted it may not suit all stoves etc but burning diesel transporting water around the country dosent make a great deal of sense, just my thoughts, maybe stove manufactures need to start redesigning their stoves to accommodate kiln dried and torrified wood
-
Hmm good points, as far as I can gather is the torrified wood is hydrophobic so it should repel moisture. I guess we shall see what happens.
-
Hi All Has anyone investigated the Torr-podd,Black Mountain Wood Fuels Im thinking of hoping over to Swansea to have a look at one. I wonder would the production of 1 tonne of highend firewood a day be in anyway finically viable.

Hi all as the title suggests, did anyone ever manage to convince their customers to buy the logs produced by the TR70 processor:001_smile:
