I made some for the first time this year, 4 people washing, scratting (grinding) pressing for about four hours we got 75 litres. We luckily found a 60 litre press and scratter we could hire, but we had built up a powerful thisrt by the end! Bottling the first lot this week, I ll let you know if its not fatal.

Chestnut peeled and pointed stakes
farmer rod replied to East Anglian landscaping's topic in General chat
Down here we do a lot of chestnut, I went to Aberdeen once to look at a farm, all the trees were growing horizontal and the farming far too tough for a southerner so I settled back down here. -
You must agree there is a difference in what they are worth

sometimes when the condenser starts to pack up you can have missing at higher revs, usually the hotter the worse it gets

I think the delete history may have been the answer, but I also found that in settings I had "refresh pages" set to NEVER which I have set to AUTOMATICALLY, anyway all is now working perfectly. Thanks Steve

Having posted my relpy, (ie the second reply in this thread) I cannot view it by clicking the little blue "Last Post" arrow in the Todays Posts list. In fact if I do and scroll down I see the start of the thread, but the sreen updates continually taking me back to the top. I have a habit of fouling things up. Hit the jackpot this time!

The thread was "What to plant for coppice", which i was viewing from the TODAYS POSTS Tab, I have managed to view that now by changing (haphazardly) to threaded view. Having spotted your reply to my thread (replies 1) , and clicking on the thread title, it takes me to my original post but this appears to having no post as I scroll down. Going back to todays posts I can see the replies in pages of ten. To see your reply, I clicked on the little Go To Last Post. Thanks for your help, Im a bit bit mystified!
-
Can anyone explain why I cant see some posts, for example I posted a reply to one thread, now I can only see the first and last post although threre are ten replies listed? Probably me being thick somehow, all help gratefully received.

what to plant for coppice?
farmer rod replied to MikeTM150's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Alder seems thrive in wet places, Sweet Chestnut spits in fires, so is only for for stoves, but the chestnuts are fantastic and Ive been eating them most of the day. Iv just planted some hornbeam because the leaves are a fantastic colour (or will be in years to come) -
Thanks

as ever, poking about for an easy way out! Lazyness is a sign of efficiency. Thanks for the pointer.

Anyone know where to source timber bunks, I am hoping to use a flatbed trailer for moving timber on the farm, either using weld on sockets if such a thing exists, or Ive seen loads of timber flying around on artic trailers which seem to have some sort of frame. Excuse my ignorance, I am more familiar with moving bales than wood, perhaps you can put me on the right track.

Ben, I think you you should try to turn this round. Wood is not worth much without a customer and picking it up only pays back your pride. His pride as an "honest gent" is what you have to play with. If you call him, say that you are not going to cash his check untill he has burnt the logs, and if when he has felt the benefit of really great quality wood he still feels he hasnt had good value then you will return his cheque and he can send a donation to his favorite charity. A few words will probably win you a loyal customer, but just dont count on it workng every time!!!! Good luck

dont believe it, youll fork out some hard earned, only to find its just as painful
