urgently need Chestnut coppice for a client
farmer rod replied to Joy Yeomans's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
most coppicing is done by the end of Feb, but quite a few guys will have some cut but not processed, although this is a bit late, you could try Mereworth Estate (pronounced merryworth locally) Bayham Woodlands or Torry Hill. If its just small quantities why not just stick the cutting list up, someones bound to have it! -
yes, no ball required for tree work..

well thats instant dismissal for handling a mouse without the proper footware,

You just have to go to A&E and hang around till you get a sick note. COPD is the horse equivalent, and you can pretty much ruin a horse forever by giving it hay that has mould spores, I was told by a vet doing research at Bristol, that allergic reaction were from moulds formed at high temperatures which caused serious and persistent problems. I imagine chip with leaves in gets up to temperatures as high as dodgy hay. Get the spanners out and fix the tipping gear

Wonder if you guys can advise a bit off topic but wood chip related
farmer rod replied to sasha.p's topic in General chat
Probably not relevant but celery juice is toxic if it is on the skin in sunlight. So if it is a plant, it may be one that usually causes no trouble. Hope you find the culprit. -
the rhi is fairly strict about what you can do with the heat, check it out carefully before you proceed.

have you been to Shetland, there are only about three trees on the whole island! If it is genuine, its only had light use
-
just get the Benny Hill music on there and it will look as if you meant it to be like that!

its been a miserable year for most things that live outdoors, I put blossom on the hawthorn as three weeks late, is it all down to the icelandic volcano??

Working out cord?
farmer rod replied to oakland firewood's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
check with your customer about the length, if you get that wrong the pile is virtually useless -
You should worry, I read a thread called climbing wellies, beacuse I live in wellies and though it would be impossible to get up a tree in a pair:blushing:

best spray for bramble and rhododendron
farmer rod replied to woodland dweller's topic in General chat
It is a pity that you cant get 245-T (agent orange) anymore, it would reduce any jungle (including bramble and nettle) leaving grass only -
Hornbeam growth question
farmer rod replied to farmer rod's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Thanks to everyone for the pointers, I have mulched with bark fairly liberally for the first two years, could go again with the bark as we have a heap of it, but would the addition of FYM be a benefit or the complete opposite? (being a farm we have more FYM than anything else) -
Ty , im not sure i can explain this without an open diff case, but if the pinion bearings are out of adjustment the pressures between the gear teeth go through the roof and the teeth, instead of rolling against each other rub as they go round. Might just need setting up properly or a new set of bearings, or if you leave it much longer .....££££

Ash die-back in Wales, plain uncommon sense spoken......on the BBC!
farmer rod replied to difflock's topic in General chat
I was half joking, we have a fair amount of ash in the shaws we are coppicing, and if this takes hold there will be a surplus of dead wood, the question is how long it remains useful, standing dead chestnut is good for years but how long will the ash last. -
aha! that makes sense ill give it a go

farmer rod replied to difflock's topic in General chat
Presumably all the ash trees in the uk arent going to die in the same year, how long will dead standing, ash keep standing? -

if it was guaranteed to work I would have a forest of those poles:lol:

We had one in to do our chipping, and all of them have been through the boiler without blocking it up. You can get really uniform chips out of decent sized wood, but as you probably know rings can get the wrong way and produce slithers in any machine. I thought it was a decent bit of kit, are you going to get one and if so where in the country do you operate? Rod
