any one come across (convallaria majalis) on there travels i am starting to grow it comercialy , i was talking to a dutch flower grower and he said that oak trees have the best samples under them, wondered if anyone else had seen different ? cheers.

Don't mess with us!!!

 

i couldnt quite see the tax disc when you were on the road mate,

in time mate you may become allergic to all wood dust, i know some of the old boys who have had many years in the orchard industry and they suffer from conjunctivitus from years of apple saw dust and so on, i recomend not a cheap eye wash

waited till 6 last nite till ground dried off a bit then went fertilisin till 11pm. did nearly 300 acres then was 2 bags short to finish last 40 acres.. made good mess in places but its been crying out for it for last 3 weeks.

working half days then i see mate,!!

what do you do if he phones up and wants some more? the only thing i can advise is to phone the editor and place an add in the mag but specifi that it be on his page .

buy a stone detector then......... !!!!!!!!!

its the old saying "its not what you earn ,its what you spend" as above i think you would need to be fairly big in timber to make a good living . i do mine as a side line to my primary work which helps the timber side of it work with help from tractors trailors teleporters ect ect. But to do it efficiently and cost effective ,to stump up the capital to buy , hire those things in the first place i would need to shift a hell of alot more timber than i am , hence why its a side line.

I know guys who used to get a new maul and spend 15 mins cutting bricks to blunt it.

I like mine sharp though!

wtf !!!!!!

I'm working away from home at the moment, passed a petrol station in Epsom today. £1.53.9

yeh but you can afford it,unlike us wood selling folk!

Sounds like a good idea selling water is always good for profits.

maybe with your wood mate but not mine:wink:

my mate (ex mate ) ran over my saw with a teleporter couple of years back proper up and over it and it still worked, on the plus side it was a husky 365

!!!!!!!!!!!

 

that needs recording!

your spent to many years on your own in the woods mate!!!

coco pops and frosties and all bran

i think its the way ahead, i am from next season will be doing the same.

Well am sorry to hear this mate ,you were the first person I spoke to on arbtalk, hope all goes well in the future do you think you will come back to it at some point? Dont be cold next winter mate have some lovely Bramley hear to keep you warm!!!

Apple , two year.

asbestos ?

bit harsh, my mate works for the council.

You're not being paid by the gov, you're being paid by the rest of us through our electricity bills. I find it ridiculous that I'm paying for you to pointlessly put more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere when the idea (supposedly) behind the subsidy is to reduce the amount.

 

I'm sorry if that was a bit direct, but we are becoming more and more fed up with these crazy subsidies and the idea that somehow the government is paying rather than us.

yes but spruce next time you buy fish and chips or a ham sandwich and get change from a tenner remember if it wasn't for subsidies food would be alot dearer and that tenner wouldnt get you squat. its not for the benefit of the man selling its for the man buying!!

we're in process of fitting a large outdoor wood boiler to heat the houses on our farm... we're supposed to get a very good incentive from gov for doing this and the more heat we produce the more money we earn... obviously in summer it will only be running on tick over so i thought i'd put a feed into a nearby shed... partition the shed off and install a drying fan [my mate has exactly same thing to dry bricks at his brick yard] which is only £400, and fill crates with logs [shed should hold at least 30].. means i can dry my logs for free as all wood we will use will be softwood otherwise destined for fire in yard and get paid by the gov for privillege...

nick couldnt you use the excess heat for drying wheat in the summer or beans, peas ect....

shame lovely old tree,glad to hear the timber is being used , they smell great

Some real beautiful art work there, love the porche!!

walnut dripping in north cambs 15,2,12

hello everyone and a happy new year to you all,

Have taken 4 limbs off of a blue cedar 6 to 8 inch diameter from the main trunk of a 40 to 50 year old tree , would the wounds need treating this time of year , if so what with?
