    We will be moving over to firewood production at the end of this month. The picture below is a bit of a cheat as it shows some of last year's haul.

    Catweazel is openspaceman's old username.

    Oh! That's worse news than I was hoping for. Fingers crossed for the search.

    That sounds pretty underhand from your insurance company. How much will a new chipper of the same spec be? I guess the only silver lining here is that your old chipper must have done a fair bit of work if you got it in 2009. Horrible to have stuff stolen mind.

    There's actually only one stubby, and he's most definitely bad!

    Which are the most marketable J? Been deliberating over a mill purchase for some time but not sure that the species mix in the Wood would warrant one.

    Just ride the wave of life Silky, this is the 'destination'. Be fully present for the ride and you will have found what you are looking for. Ho Chi Idiot c.2019

    That was some match!

    No worries. Not sure of the practicalities of planting a companion tree crop in an orchard. Alder is used as a 'nurse' crop (encouraging other tree species up and straight, commonly Oak). Haven't heard of this technique in orchards. May be counterproductive??

    Have you not met Mrs Difflock?

    That's very true, but if coppiced for firewood they'll outlive an Oak.

    This is good shout if you can get hold of it. Fine around water, grows like hot stink, coppices brilliantly, browse resistant, good for wildlife, decent firewood, lovely mature tree too. Very overlooked species in my humble opinion.

    And attention. Watch people in any public space on their phones. It is making some people an awful lot of money and robbing us of our ability to connect properly with the real world.

    I spent an age searching for mine. I'd almost given up all hope. Blow me if it wasn't there all along, under me bleedin' foot.

    Think it's a she, but the question remains perfectly valid.

    Some boffin has just calculated the value of Pi to 31.4 trillion decimal places. Apparently it would take 332,000 years to read the number out loud!?
  18. the village idiot
    We're not really getting anywhere here. Can you spell out what it is you have found? Genuinely interested.
  19. the village idiot
    Ooh! I'm feeling right alpha. Prepare to be minced, Robins!
  20. the village idiot
    And in your view, where should the answers lead?
  21. the village idiot
    Bit too cryptic for my little brain. Can you be a bit more specific.
  22. the village idiot
    Might be best for thread integrity if we take this one outside. I'll just get us started. You lookin' at my bird?

    Dawkins has spent the last 30 years trying to introduce reason and rationality to the unreasonable and irrational. It's a monumental and largely thankless task. Very important too. I'm not at all surprised he gets a little warm under the collar.

    This is another Christopher Monckton article. Please look him up everybody.

    Carbon capture machines, but as you say, very expensive. Biomass converted to biochar/charcoal and incorporated into soils. Seaweed grown in ocean, cut and sunk to sea floor. These are just the ones I've heard about, I haven't researched it further.
