farmer rod

thanks guys, I have just signed up for a chip boiler, and Ive got wind of a poplar windbreak coming down, just have to do my sums first.

You can get a grant from the forestry comission for someone to come out, asses your woods and draw up a management plan. Part of woodland improvement grant.

what is the price range for a tractor and trailer crane per hour/day, say a 10 tonner, how many tonnes per day do you do?

does she appreciate being called wide????

ok so now Im officially in mourning

Im probably too old, but third that

A large proportion of mushroom compost is straw, which is mostly treated for fungi and insects later on its development. The grain of course lands up as flower for our bread. I dont think the mushrooms would grow too well if there was anything really worrying in there. The one area to watch out for is growers of chillies and peppers, because there is a chemical used against some weeds in crops and grassland that can persist in straw and fym which this family is very sensitive to. It is unlikely to be a problem to consumers of veg otherwise cows and sheep who eat the stuff all day would be dropping like flies. Im all for organic etc but my whole farm is covered in thistles and my veg garden ovverun with slugs and weeds.

I think they go for cooking pizzas in those ovens, hence small size

You can get it for professional use, if its not for "professional use there is a creosote substitute.

I have a 45 gall drum for normal stakes, using 6 foot stakes and topping up to full that leaves 6 inches or so of treated still above ground. For strainers I again only do the bit that goes in the ground + 6", I have an old sheep footbath, lay it in and brush it on and let it drip edit-- we use sweet chestnut, what do you guy use up north?

Sweet Chestnut has a reputation for spitting, I dont think that HC does in the same way

same again, are there different sorts of ivy, I think they get a poisonous one in the states, but never heard of it here

scouser?

I have an insulated container, which has the same problems as a normal steel one, but it takes longer for them to develop. If you open the door on a nice dry sunny day, warm air that feels dry, rushes in. The next morning the dew is on the grass because the air cooled down and couldn't hold on to it anymore. In the container all your tools are dripping. A dehumidifier will sort out the problem, and depending on what you store, you can dry out the contents of your container, it will take several opening s of the door to replace the moisture so it need not run the whole time. In the absence of power to the container try to make sure it catches the evening sun, it will stay warm while the surroundings cool, the water will appear as dew on the grass then as the container cools it will be drawing in air that hasnt got that moisture with it. None of this will help if you throw your wet gear in after a hard day, and disappear off to the pub:001_cool:

is white different to silver?

I was there today, no camera, Ill try and get some pics and post up

As the title, I have an area of old orchard with bramble mainly in the tree rows but growing across in places. I need to make enough room to get in with a sprayer, what do you think?

Yes this is most important, we shouldnt just be blasting away with these things without knowing whats going on in the kerf!! do let us know when you find out, in the morning is soon enough, im just off to bed:thumbup1:

can you get round it on a quad bike or is it too rough?

rolling it is supposed to be as effective, Ive still got one can of asulox but as they have banned it for next year we will have to find other ways, not easy in hedges and wood with the mechanical methods

one third of the development value, but in your situation perhaps the enhancement with the power via your land.

well, its a decent fowl anyway....

does the fruit have a stone?

Nice work, do you carve green wood or must it be seasoned?

Pastygate ???? could you enlighten me
