No, I don't have one, but I told him a shredder seems the way to go.
-
Yeah, there are loads round here. You can ask the recycling guy for as much as you like. He gets paid to take it away so if anyone wants some, it saves him shipping it away.
-
I don't know about that.

Or worse still, the fish eat the feed with microplastics, which is then eaten by humans (plastic has been found in the meat). We don't eat it and I don't know many fishfarm workers that do. i used to work on fishfarms and after seeing what went into fish, I wouldn't eat it.

Aye, I'm thinking a day's hire isn't worth the hassle of possibly an expensive fix later..

It gets thin where there's bends, but most of it is still pretty thick. Our poly tunnel has just stood up to 80mph winds no problem.
-
It's handy to have some. I use it for ducting and we'e built a couple of polytunnels with it too. A guy recycling it is asking to hire our chipper as theres so much of it to be shipped away. I can pretty much get as much as I need anytime for nothing.
-
Aye, that's the stuff.

Hello, has anyone tried putting thick plastic pipe through a wood chipper? Would it be advisable or not? Someone is asking if I'd help recycle old fishfarm pipes 4" pipe about 1/2" thick wall. I'm wondering if it's too much strain on the tractor and chipper and also if the plastic dust might gum up inside. 170hp tractor with TP chipper.

I've grown rowan trees from berries by just throwing the berries around. No need to do much really.

Hello Gareth, aye some of it is structural and the greenheart timber is the actual post and beam frame. The spruce will come from our own forest for stud work. We are going to use hemp Crete as insulation so the stud will be in the middle of that. Hempcrete isn’t strong like concrete, more like straw bales and lime. The experts say it should be called, hemp-lime. Super insulation and fireproof.

I'm still at the planning stage! The paperwork has been a night mare. Finally got the building warrant through, but there are a lot of differences from "architects😡" drawings and the engineers drawings. Getting closer though. Ive milled a small amount so far, but hope to get proper stuck into it soon.

Yup, it's probably easier to senfd to outer Mongolia that Outer Hebrides. I've been told quite a few times over the years that companies "don't send stuff outside the UK". I have to tell them that unfortuntley we are still part of it...
-
Aye, In the Hebrides. Haulage, ferry and then the builders year has to sell it. £41.98 still sounds expensive considering I have very slow growing timber outside my house.
-
Has anyone done a course in timber grading and if so where (Scotland would be best for me)? I'm interested in doing a course to be able to sell graded timber. I have our own wood supply in the Hebrides and the cost to buy from the builders merchants is expensive. I haven't bought any for a while as I'm milling what I need, but been told a 6x2" plank is £45 each!
