https://www.chrisbowers.co.uk/ Chris Bowers and Sons Whispering Trees Nurseries Wimbotsham Norfolk PE34 3QB Has anyone on here successfully bought trees off the above company? I ordered and paid for a few apple trees back in the middle of November, I think delivery was quoted as "late november onward". Middle of december, not heard anything so I asked and they said it will be "going to despatch in the new year," Then today they send a slip out in the post saying "we are estimating delivery for mid-late February...." "....we have ample stocks and your order is reserved with your name on it.." The note in the post came in a hand written envelope! The order was only for 4 trees, you wouldn't think it would take them this long to pull them out the ground and put them in a box Does anyone local to the area know the nursery, are they even still trading

Fly tippers at it again:

If you want easy start, press a button?

Terrasaur is a good blade, but it's just for cutting roots

Assembled as in taken out of the shipping crate?

I don't know the other makes, but the balfor with 700mm blade can cut 300mm timber (750mm can cut 325mm). But at that sizes almost as easy using a chainsaw on the ground anyway (as in lifting the bloody logs!) A tct blade will cut a huge amount of wood, never needing sharpened

What about a circular saw bench, advantage with a tct blade is no chain to sharpen Balfor do a range with petrol/electric/pto power, conveyors, splitters etc

Always worth having a look on ebay etc, you can sometimes get some good deals, direct from small nurseries and growers. I did well a couple of years ago with a local nursey that was closing down and had trees advertised on gumtree, then used some 2nd hand tubes, and ripped down some larch stakes from a pile of offcuts

Handbags strewn across the floor in here! Maybe we need a separate thread for covid discussion In other news, a man on a bike went missing in 2017 on a remote road in the Highlands. Last seen passing the Bridge of Orchy hotel at 23.30. Quite a sad story, never any trace of the man, his bike, or his belongings, the ride was for charity, and the family have never found out what happended.

Thank feck they have a nightingale hospital then Nightingale Hospital Birmingham NIGHTINGALE-BIRMINGHAM.NHS.UK

I'm sure there was one on youtube, an american guy built a huge one, and he filled it either using a machine or conveyor? Obviously with proper slatted sides, and probably big enough to get a year or two's worth in. I find emptying a bay of a log shed disappointing and satisfying at the same time

Apparently the one in Glasgow has still never had any covid patients through the door NHS Louisa Jordan Hospital | Robertson WWW.ROBERTSON.CO.UK Keeps the shareholders happy though eh

Now I know very little about the different stove manufacturers but googling ecosy stoves and it says "The best value group of stoves in the UK. Expertly developed in Hampshire" So I take it that means made in the far east and shipped over to a warehouse in Hampshire? Nothing wrong with made in China if it's done to a high standard, but I hate it when companies try and bend the truth.

This video just came up on youtube The guy reckons it's better on steep ground than tracks
