Hi easy-lift guy you're right the spiders aren't a problem I'm just really curious as to why i have so many. i spend much of my spare time walking many different landscapes and I have never see anything else like it and this isn't a one off thing it happens every year and they don't appear to decline in numbers all through the summer season. like I say just very curious Louise

Hi David i hadn't thought about that there isn't that many flies no more then usual and I haven't had any horses or livestock on the land for a couple of years. Mind the field is very sheltered with woodland. Tinker I'm not sure if that is them I'll have a proper look next time I'm up at the land but I love the little cartoon thats want they do blink twice and jump out of the way, love it

I have a field and it is covered in spiders, every step you take they are jumping out of your way, I would almost go as far to say an infestation, so why do I have so many spiders and they are all the same species, well they look the same small ish and black with white zigzags down their backs, can anyone explain this?

Nice thread I finished planting my 800 christmas trees into pots, re potted last seasons 500 trees into bigger pots and I'm hoping some of them will be ready to sell this year, then I finished the first round of grass cutting did all the potting over the last two weekends I'm slightly knackered but i finished in time to have the Easter sunday and Monday off, nice one! Ready to go back to my day job for a rest

Thanks GardenKit I didn't know that I'll keep that in mind when I get my next lawn mower but I'm hoping to go for a mini tractor or a sit on lawn mower, well you know a girl can dream Louise

I have had a 550 mountfield self propelled model for over 5 years now and the poor thing has worked it ass off every summer keeping about an acre of grass cut each week, its only just starting to fall apart now but that's due to me only having it serviced once and not taking enough care of it, if I was going to buy another lawn mower than I would definitely look at another Mountfield.

if the buds are sticky then it is chestnut -
Spring is always weeks behind up in Northumberland, so if the tree are not budding yet do you think it will it be ok? even if I start and do about 10 to 20 trees then at least some of them can start to dry out over the summer, will people buy the timber while it is still wet?

Hi When is the best time to coppice Alder or can it be done all the year round? Thanks Louise
-

All the trees i have at the moment are potted, which I started last spring, and potting another 800 this spring, my borther put up some deer fencing to protct them. I plan to plant up between 500 and 1000 in the ground next year, and again each year basically until I run out of space, the top part of the field is reasonably well drained and we do have deer and brown hares, so that is why I'm waiting until next year to do the trees in the ground so I can get the area secure. the top half of the field there are a few trees close by, a couple of oaks and ash but when I expand over the years I will need to plant close to the Alder wood, does it make a different being close to some trees rather then others? I only have an 8 acre field and about an acre is taken up with a Alder wood so I can't plant huge amounts and there is only me and my brother that is doing all the work so we are restricted on time.

I wouldn't be impressed I just copied and pasted from a shopping list, although I do know that that the 2+2 is better, if I can't get the 2+2, which would be better 3+0 or 2+1? I'm a spring planter, it hadn't occurred to me to do it in the Autumn is one better than the other? I told you about the questions

Hi big fell Thanks you might regret saying you can help, when I get a chance I might end up with hundreds of question, here one for starters do you know where i can get 550 x nordmann Ambrolauri Forest District DK seed orchard Langeso F.668 Ambrolauri Selected stand 'A10' Bredal Skov 2 + 2 as the supplier only has 2 + 1 in the ground or 3 + 0 where i would prefer 2 years in the ground Thanks Louise
-
Thanks Luke I'm very lucky the land is beautiful, remote and very quite. I am concerned about some of the tree falling, thanks for all the advice
-
Probably Nordmann and Norway spruces but I have already 1500 potted ones growing, they are the Nordmann, norway spruce, blue spruce and a one called meyer a chinese tree but that isn't doing to well, a few Korean firs and frazer fir, thats a lot i know but I wanted to test them to see which grew the best up in Northumberland
-
its difficult to say, they are all different sizes as a lot of them have been coppiced in the past, so they have 2 or 3 main trunks from the base but are up to 2 feet in diameter and there are fully mature trees which haven't been coppiced and i would say up to 4 feet in diameter. I have heard that Alder is good for Carcoal

Hi Steve How weird is that, I have spoken to that guy before but lost his contact details Thanks for that Louise
-
I would love to do that, I use to have a clydesdale cross, he would have done it no problem but the old fella gone now, he was my pride and joy too. Actual most of the trees have matured to a full size so is coppicing still the right term for cutting down mature trees and allowing it to grow from the base? sorry for my ignorance
