I have tarps over top of my pallet wood stores with the sides open. Trouble is rain goes sideways so you need a large overhang to keep it off & the tarp stops sun. Ideal would be a polytunnel (they seem cheaper than building a shed) or a cheaper idea was buying some clear tarps.

I have a damson (technically a bullace I think but i call them damsons) tree in my garden, that is very productive its a massive old tree of the local native variety, probaly over 50yrs old. Make alot of damson jam & damson jelly. Also damsons (plus sugar) are nice, cooked from the deep freeze served with yoghurt or ice cream. Noticed once that the local Waitrose were selling punes of damsons at £8 a kg. You will have to compete against prince charles duchy brand: Waitrose Duchy Organic preserve damson - Waitrose

How long to season pine from tree to stove?
face cord replied to Steve999's topic in Log burning stoves and fireplaces
Buy a cheapo ebay moisture meter if you don't already have one so you can test when it goes under 20%. Seasoning time there are alot of variables like log size wood store localtion/design etc but 1 yr sounds about right. -

Didn't someone on here already install log gas boiler hoping to get the RHI commercial rate for two dwellings? Seems unfair on people who have invested alot of money in it on the belief RHI covered there choice of heating.

Rather than using bottled gas hob in kitchen thinking of making an outdoor stove to cook soups/stews etc on (grow alot of veg so i make alot of soups etc) Don't like open fires as smoke is unhealthy, & its very unefficent cooking method Looking for a proven & easy design to copy out of firebricks etc. Alot on the net about rockets stoves but step by step construction info is sketchy.

I bought a a second hand one & its still going strong but I had to buy a new oil pump though when it stopped oiling. Local highstreet shop wanted to charge me £45 quid for it! But found it on ebay in the USA alot cheaper... 021245007 oil pump makita dcs4610,dcs400,dcs401,dcs34,dcs340,uc3500,uc4000 | eBay Shares alot of parts with dolmar saws as its the same company. Maybe the original pump knacked up because im always forgetting to full the oil before it runs out?

Beech or hornbeam Alot more classy -
Suppose it depends on the size of garden & were it is Can you just pile up & have a bonfire later to get rid of the stuff etc without upsetting neigbours or does it all need removing which woud be more hassle/cost etc Get a load of builders bags to shove the stuff in If its a fairly big garden might be worth investing in some decent tools as you will want to keep it under control in the longer term?

The local council makes compost: I got some free but it smelt of vinegar & has lots of plastic bits in it, people must mix a load of plastic in there brown food bins? Anglesey households achieve 100% food waste recycling Dunno what they do with council tree/arb stuff, I wish they did sell very cheap logs Wood waste (construction timber etc) is seperated into skips in 2 different recycling centres not sure where it goes then.

Some info about pruning & tree shapes etc. http://homeorchard.ucdavis.edu/8057.pdf I have never pruned my wild damson tree (apart from the top to stop it growing into electric wires) & usually has huge yeilds of it apart from this year coz of early frost.
