  1. I had a stand at it and was involved in the setting up of it over the last few weeks. It was a great success for the first irish forestry show in years, Great to see new blood in the climbing comp too with a novice winning the comp. No pics as yet but will post some shortly:001_smile:
  2. Looks like another dead griselinia hedge dont think there is one left in ireland after this winter, what sort of money was the grinder?

  5. Hi all, has anyone had any joy with importing these machines, I know this was brought up last year but wondered if anyone had any joy since:confused1:
  6. Hi Chris just back in for a bit of lunch i have them on the ground and sneded ive left them full length, at about 36 foot give or take should be entertaining moving them but i have a very short distance to move them, ya its for the Gywenned boys, I cant seem to get a number for Andrew Evans, but I think il leave them long as I can get away with, road legally Thanks very much for your help hope the lads are happy with the timber, the show is The Irish Forestry, Woodland and Bio Energy Show http://www.ifwshow.ie. Its the first time its been run but hopefully the first of many.
  7. Evergreen Oak makes a great hedge and can be cut quite hard if need be, not sure how well the yew will do in the shade of other trees, the idea of various different heights is good though keeps it interesting
  8. Chris thanks a million ill get out my dbh tape and get sawing, should i strip the bark? The demo is in a fortnight will the timber dry too much or does it matter?
  9. Alas fella im based a little to far west of you im in the midlands in Ireland, but thanks very much for the offer:thumbup1:

  12. Hi all I have to supply timber for an axe men demo at an up coming show, dimensions for the timber seem very specific 11 inch diameter for some 12 and 13 inch for others, taking account of the natural taper in logs this is going to be tricky, does anyone know is it vital that these dimensions are stuck to, I have plenty of clean straight Poplar of between 10 and 15 inch diameter :confused1: Help thanks in advance Dermot
  13. Not sure how many, but my wife, sister and sister in law are all trained arborists not all working on the tools but they all have at one time or another:thumbup1:
  14. It is a difficult weed to kill but skeep doing what your doing, It may be worth using something with 2-4-d in it, like Grazon 90 not sure if you can get that in the UK but there's bound to be a similar product if not. If its possible get the soil dug over to disturb dormant roots of the plant allow them to shoot and then spray it again. Good luck:thumbup1:
  15. I think there is reference to that system in a guide to good tree climbing practice handbook, not sure but I think its and AA booklet.
  16. I know its not related but what make is the log splitter in the back ground?
