Hornbeam growth question
farmer rod replied to farmer rod's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
So would it be best to prune now, ie during the growing season, or wait till winter and take side branches out, or even leave it for couple of years and then have a go? -
Hornbeam growth question
farmer rod replied to farmer rod's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
thanks for the replys guys, better get another load of bark round them and wait till next year! -
If you had the U frame on the back of the tractor,(facing side to side, unlike the ebay one) then fill it up with billets, throw over two chains/wire ropes attached at front to the drawbar and hook onto the back of the U frame, then lift the hydraulics enough to tighten, strap up and your done. does that make any sense?

Hornbeam growth question
farmer rod replied to farmer rod's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
The nursery thing may be the clue, I just ordered whips, as we usually do, weve put in miles of hedge, so this may turn out to be more hedgy and less woody, but still a lovely colour! Thanks for the help -
Hornbeam growth question
farmer rod replied to farmer rod's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Paul, thanks for the reassurance, Im hoping that they will grow up in a straight stemmed form, and possibly if I prune them the right way have dense canopy with a shady mown area under. (Trouble is I know zippo about trees) -
I planted some hornbeam two years ago, and although they look healthy and are growing, only a couple have made any effort to grow upwards. Some of the trees almost look like a weeping variety. Have I bought the wrong plants? or given time will they pick up and put on some vertical growth?

They love saying things like that, gets people where they want them, but have you asked the lawyer if he will pay up if his advice is wrong??? Has anyone EVER got anything out of a lawyer

ahem, luckily round here no ones looking, mostly, i hope:001_rolleyes:

whats more important is how can we stop them!
-
nit picking but in a good way typo "Vegetation management and weed controlM," and on the home page, I was trying to click on the "our services", but they are not links very nicely laid out though, and visually catching

I had one of those kits with the plugs, Mr Fothergills or similar, got a few good mushrooms from some birch logs without too much hassell

My boiler certainly wouldnt like it, but some of the bigger ones can cope. 15 a tonne sounds very attractive compared to what I pay at the moment! even if some of that 15 is buying water
-
is that dry chip or fresh green?
-
Also, Ash and a few other woods split better when fresh sawn, so get going before the rings are weathered
-
cut a decent chopping block, or stack some rings so that your axe strikes at a comfortable height, aim to chop a log off the big bit every time, the hardest part is putting the ring back on the block, so work round and round, you will soon have a big pile of logs

blistering hot here, sadly rain tonight
-
so .... slightly less effective than just standing there with a cs and cutting the hedge

with the addition of the sweeper collector you could get the clippings straight in the truck

ours does 23 miles before you need to put it onto reserve, I reckon that is 2 gallons, so 11.5 mpg ouch!

it is really heartening to find that so many people appreciate decent meat, we have ours hung for 21 days and we know that we lose weight over that time, but we gain flavour. The trouble is your average accountant dosent have a column to add up flavour so he assume you can manage without.

brilliant!, what length chain for that job?
-
would you buy that with shopping tyres!?

Assuming the nut is with the hose side and the steel pipe has a male end, then as suggested above, wedge the sledge hammer underneath and welt it on top with the club hammer, use a drift if access is poor. If you can get the angle grinder near it, using a thin slitting disc split the nut nearly through, the heat from grinding helps so have spanners ready to go. Good luck, and I bet its in the most inaccessible place ! Being German the fittings might be JIC not BSP
