farmer rod

bit of a de rail, but is carting biomass/woodchip still considered forestry? or is your MB taxed differently? cheers Rod

my green light was flashing

can you imagine how the discussion will go, which tree? the noble oak....... no chance take out the sycamore.... could be pages of it:001_rolleyes:

tried that, Sussex Life had a lively debate about which colour was best, and H& H seem to use the Aga for drying their numnahs.

I had problems with the elbow below the burner coking up, but it sounds like you have checked all that.

Absolutely right, and possibly the value of properly dried wood also

if its going in the ground then oak or sweet chestnut

An epic poem, great work stereo

Back to normal, well done guys. We all get a little anxious when arbtalk is working properly!

Steve, Im in Narnia, Im getting pages of error notice like this Warning: xcache_get() [function.xcache-get]: XCache var cache was not initialized properly. Check php log for actual reason in [path]/vboptimise/core/class_operator_xcache.php on line 21 but fortunately the forum still appears at the bottom, is it my pc ?

Catweazel has hit it on the head, the economics of it depend on how much of a hurry you are in. Looking at the equilibrium moisture table for wood, air at 90% relative humidity will dry wood to about 20% mc, almost irrespective of temperature. However raising the air temperature by one degree reduces the rh by about 4% so a little heat improves your air quality immensely. One strategy could be to blow air all the time that the logs are over say 25%, then dont blow in the evening when the dew is falling, dont blow in so much cold air that it cools your logs over night, but if the humidity inside your container got to 85% then time for an air change, if the sun is shining blow like crazy. The dehumidifier will not have much effect all the while you have fresh air being introduced and they work much better at higher temperatures. Running one will help, but it may not be the cheapest per litre of water removed.

they can carry at least 15 good acorns, but they dont bury them:biggrin:

the Mikeys can sniff them out really efficiently I was told by an old gardner who used to put a sheet of cloche glass on each pot and a brick on top of that, the glass was better because you could see when they were up and the take it off.

I am under the impression that squirrel bite the acorn and this stops it germinating, whereas jays do not, anyone more knowledgeable on here put me right on this?

Gollum, I saw your thread earlier, fascinating find, where was it located? Domestic garden? It looks just like one of my daughters fluffy toys that got left in the rain, did yours have a little bell inside? Rod

for goodness sake, a couple of chaps putting up a gate (probably for no reward) and you want them in fancy dress

I really like the design, well done.

was it a single stem tree??

John How do you dry woodchip? thanks Rod

has anyone called the number and offered to get them in the first page of google if you type scam

buy the wood, once you own it you will love it, and find a way of making a few quid here and there if /when you need to. Nobody can nick it in the night (well only little bits) and its tax free.

5 shillings, that would be a 20 pack

Ive just had a contractor in to chip my fuel with a drum chipper, which was quite impressive. Not being very up on these things could you tell me what sort of shredder would people use?
