  1. What island was that? (which is going to lead on to, has it got many rowan?)
  2. Mashed them up, rinsed them through a sieve loads of time to try and remove as much of the pulp as possible, then mixed half and half with sharp sand, into pots covered with mesh to hopefully keep the wildlife off. They will be left outside all winter. Also filled a ziplock bag with the seed sand mixture, and put that in the bottom of the fridge to leave until the new year.
  3. Well I harvested a good amount of berries, from the local area, from lots of different trees, to hopefully mix up the genetics a bit and leave the majority on the tree for the birds. Patented fruit and berry picking device, put it round your neck - handsfree!
  4. Someone will tell me I'm wrong, but I always thought you could only burn material on the site it originated from? I once had someone send the police out to a bonfire I was having on a site, it was a great fire, red hot so very little smoke, and safe as houses too.
  5. The only safe option is to swallow the keys, 12hrs+ to shit them out, should be sober by then
  6. Honda Izy are good domestic mowers (steel deck so won't last forever) My old man bought a domestic Honda brand new about the year 2000, I had to fit a new deck in 2015, it doesn't really get any tlc. Mower is still running great to this day Just to keep taking this thread off topic, this video is pretty interesting:
  7. Out of interest, what was your method, to achieve a 100% failure rate?
  8. Quite a common thing on mobile workshop type vans - water/hydro board, plant fitters etc. So if someone buys one of these vans 2nd hand they might be selling the vice and sliding mount cheap ie Irwin Record No.3 Slide Out Vice for Van Racking / Shelving WWW.EBAY.CO.UK <p>Irwin no3 sliding vice for van with fixing blocks. Used but full working condition</p><br /> Same as all the other kit that might be coming out - racking, workbench, 12v sink, night heater, hoist, 12v microwave, water boiler, inverter, pto generator, etc
  9. I've never tried this myself, has anyone on here done this, and have any advice? Best to mash them up and separate the seeds, or leave them whole? Leave them in a pot of sand over winter?
  10. Someone cleverer has already replied, but they often have BT and a code engraved on the poles, in the photo you can just see the B. To the right of the 2 E signs
  11. Spotted these on gumtree, don't know the person, they might be sold by now anyway. £10 each Ibc cage and tank | in Beverley, East Yorkshire | Gumtree WWW.GUMTREE.COM £10 each these have resin residue in. Collection cherry burton near Beverley plenty available
  12. 50cc 4 stroke hedge trimmer or pole saw, that sounds pretty grim Also can't stand a loop handle strimmer. Not ergonomic, high vibrations etc GX50 are great engines but that seems like the worst place to use one
  13. Which one is your current jacket, and is it any good?
  14.

  15. Second hand Greenmech cs100 for your 3k, then a second hand muck truck for circa £1500 to tow it with. Both the same width, will go a lot of places, and doesn't leave a mark turning on grass unlike tracks. Only takes a second to untich the chipper and use the muck truck for carting chips/logs about! 2 machines that are built for professional use. Lets see if Pete B presses the "like" button for this post
  16. I filled a barrel with seaweed to make liquid fertiliser this year, I did rinse it first to hopefully remove some salt, don't know how necessary that was.
  17. Not used them myself, but round here you can hire one easily Highland Roadbrush Ltd | Inverness WWW.FACEBOOK.COM Highland Roadbrush Ltd, Inverness. 935 likes. Sweeping across the Highlands , short term , long term and 24/7 call out
  18. Comfrey, nettle and seaweed seems to good to go on compost, that would be good for a liquid fertiliser!
  19. Found camel toe in the polytunnel
  20. The nights are fair drawing in...... Got this cheap wee usb rechargeable headlamp on aliexpress for £7something +tax. I've got a better one, but for the money it seems really good. More of a spot beam than a flood, so more suited to general use than lying under a vehicle https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005950929989.html
  21. Recently I had a couple days work to do about 2hrs drive away. That's 2hrs if you did it first thing in the morning, before the tourists wake up. I took the hammock and other camping gear to sleep the night in the van, but in the end the very nice folks there gave us the keys to a 1 bed cottage, with a plate of food in the fridge!
  22. Meanwhile in Paisley......... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7neSwWbhtQ
  23. Don't know if he's on the books or not? If self employed, he might be worse off than a minimum wage job where you get holiday pay, clothing, training etc etc
  24. ? Baby formula will sometimes have the big security tags on, it's a popular item to lift, costs the same as a bottle of whisky I imagine the junkies prefer the rustic sourdough to the mothers pride plain loaf
  25. I'd give you a fiver if you made us a few waffles on it!
