I've got a friend who had one (actually a few..) in his garden, first a family member living in it, then as storage. But in the end he didn't really need all the storage space so he cut it in half and made a new front for it!

Yes the tops of a couple of windblown spruce just reached the tunnel. The wooden beds were just made out of scrap wood. The IBC ones do the job, and were cheap as chips, and won't rot but less opportunity for worms to get in. I suppose if you had a large polytunnel with big doors (and a forklift) you could have the pallet bases and move IBC beds in and out as the season progressed! Along with a couple more wooden beds outside, I've also got one which is made out of an old plastic heating oil tank with the top cut off

Got some seeds started in the house This was the first winter where I've tried growing stuff in the polytunnel over winter. Winter/spring greens and the like. Sown in trays then planted out in the tunnel in october, with no additional heat. The plants have done well, unfortunately the tunnel hasn't, and got squashed Two photos, one taken 31 Jan, the other today 23 March Bare in mind this is the north of Scotland, and there's not much growth started outside in the big bad world The one thing that died was the "standard" non hardy lettuce

This one was apparently a norway maple, getting in the way of the plough, beautiful sunny day

Your Tree falls into neighbours, whose responsibility to clear up?
scbk replied to TreeAbility's topic in Trees and the Law
So I wonder how it would work then, if you had a large tree, or possibly a number of, windblown/uprooted over the boundary from a woodland into a garden. And the woodland owner wasn't going to cut them or apply for a felling permission themselves. Would the garden owner/their contractor have to apply for a felling permission on the other person's trees to clear the garden? -how would that work in terms of replanting conditions? Would the part of the tree(s) in the garden now be exempt from felling permission? What about windblown trees hung up at 45deg crossing the boundary mid air I know that it's likely to go unnoticed by the authorities if away from public view... -

Another added complication could be that in Scotland windblown trees need a felling licence (unless exempt). Don't know how it would work if you were clearing trees in a park/garden (exempt) that had blown through the boundary from a woodland -
I keep a 1m long 3/4" drive breaker bar in the van, just a cheap one off ebay. Handy for doing the wheelnuts, especially if it was someone with an air gun who did them up previously!

scbk replied to TreeAbility's topic in Trees and the Law
What about if the trees blow through the boundary from person A to person B. Trees windblown on both sides of the boundary. And person B's shed is underneath, damaged by their own trees, that were probably pushed over by person A's. But if person A had felled their trees in advance, person B's trees would be exposed and blow over anyway (onto the shed!) Not sure if any valid insurance policy exists for either party..... And person A doesn't seem to give a fook, so person B has to do all the work on both sides of boundary fence. Hypothetical of course!!! -
To show my solidarity, I bought a pack of chicken kievs when I was in the supermarket the other night.

I don't claim to understand international politics, but I think if I was Ukrainian sat in my house, and we got invaded by another country, I would be kinda pissed about it. I suppose the UK and europe buying fuel and gas from Russia has payed for it's tanks, missiles, fighter jets, and nukes

I've not read most of this thread, but just got word of what our new electricity prices will be from April: "Your Economy 7 electricity rates will change from 24.968p to 31.705p per kWh for your day rate and 12.530p to 19.266p per kWh for your night rate. Your standing charge per day will change from 27.48p to 50.14p." 32p kwh, yikes!!

I know that a hydraulic would be a better winch, but a quick look on ebay, probably not much change out of £1k time you get a valve/hoses/delivery etc, which is probably a bit overkill for the use it would get. Has anyone with an electric winch upgraded the battery?
-
Thinking about fitting a 12v winch to a tracked timberwolf 190. Really just for rare self recovery or tree pulling, so thinking it would be best on the end of the machine with the track controls, ie opposite end to the hopper. What pulling power of winch have people used on similar sized machines? And, obviously, it would only be used with the engine running, but would a bigger battery be needed to add more of a 'buffer'?

Just googled it, William is 39, Fogle is 48, so if anything wills is the lookalike!

I was working outside, it was the wife who phoned me to say bad natta is on the tv! They seem like nice folks, not sure about carrying the saws on the shoulders, if your chain is sharp next to your neck isn't a great place to put it, probably staged for the cameras though. The avid chainsaw spotters might have noticed one of the saws used looked like a triobrake?

Anyone else watching Ben Fogle new lives in the wild tonight ............. he's staying with an arbtalk member in Northumberland
