  1. 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?
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Yorks a pretty wealthy place. I reckon its more important for such upmarket customers that you need to look flash & have the right brand image them you can quote more for doing the same jobs as you look look pro. Good luck
  5. But they would have to wait to winter then for bare root planting & people want instant gardens theese days like they see on chelsea flower show etc programs Iv'e just noticed millions of silver birch seedings growing wild along a FC forestry track that will be mowed down along the verges soon no doubt also oak.
  6. Thought I had come across a massive one recently about 10ft tall in someones garden but according to wiki it can reach: Heracleum mantegazzianum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 23ft! Anyone seen one that huge? Hate the stuff now after being got by its sap a few times while strimming See it all over the place round here seems to be spreading fast? Had to tell some kids not to wack each other across the head with its stems
  7. Was looking at this one as something abit more powerful than a makita one I have Kawasaki KBH 48 http://ekosiarka.eu/produkt-brushcutter-kawasaki-kbh-48-332.html?l=en Are thoose plastic handles on the husky as good as the metal Double handle type they look abit cheap? Do they reduce vibration?
  8. Whats the best type & a cheap place to buy in from?
  9. I noticed the proper x27 one is on sale atm for $39.99 (25 quid) on baileys site USA Bailey's - Fiskars X27 Super Splitting Axe with 36" Handle Dunno what shipping is
  10. Why? Going to make a large stump mountain?
  11. I want some free wood chip! Can collect from site, us wheel barrow if no road acess tidy rake up from site etc, any wood chip bark peelings etc . Otherwise would have to buy from B&Q which is abit expensive to mulch 400 trees
  12. Thats really good value can't find any wood that cheap anywhere local to me. If there was i'd buy 20 tonnes of it.
  13. Yeah iv'e heard of them before. Im kind of interested in permaculture forest gardening e.g. though im skeptical of some of the claims made for how productive theese ideas can be compared to conventional methods. You can't beat well rotted horse manure as a fertillizer The Cloak & dagger stuff is funny. Like its some magic new invention that he is going to get rich from so doesn't want anyone else to steal lol. People do pay several 100's of pounds though to be taught about permaculture design.
  14. So about £400 a day & do all 300t in about 2.5 weeks sounds very good
  15. Thats huge how will you support such a massive one froe sagging in the middle some kind of frame work? If you just had it from the roof of a shed to ground pegs would you end up with huge area of it only a few ft off ground lvl? Unless shed roof is really really high? I think yo get a tarp that big you need to get one custom made... http://tarps.cunninghamcovers.co.uk/tarpaulins.php?tarp_cat=18
  16. Some really nice looking ones here wonder how they compared to silky. No scabbarbs though shame Kobiki Nokogiri - Japanese Timber Saws
  17. I have a big two man one somewhere last time I used it was sawing up dead elm trees during the dutch elm die off
  18. Don't trees genarally have roots as big as the top part of the tree?
  19. That model looks the worst one in there range for power to weight ratio. They have two other saws that are the exact same weight (5.2kg) but more HP. __________Kw/HP MOD. 51.51 3.8/2.7 MOD. 56.56 4.1/3.0 MOD. 62.62 4.6/3.4
  20. They have vanished from that site now did some arbtalkers bulk buy all there stock up
  21. Anyone come across them/opnions? prodotti http://www.active-srl.com/eng/catmotoseghe.pdf Active 39.39 is there version of a MS201T Im interested in the rear handle version (active 40.40) for coppice & small diameter firwood etc. Some discussion about it but its in garbled italian through google translate Google Translate
  22. Found another link about it http://www.pyreneanexperience.com/farming-by-the-moon/ Agricultural astrology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Interesting that theese traditions still survive but i reckon they are about as effective as tying a toad round your neck to cure a soar throat.
  23. Looks great how breathable is it compared to gortex? £45.00 here: Delta Pathfinder
