    Is Eggs building badger setts now then?

    I think everyone needs a leaf blower ticket, just to be safe

    Maybe they buried it after the photo was taken? Joking aside, I wonder if there is any actual published guidance on building an artificial des res' for relocating Brock and his family?

    Cat foods out for the stray cats, the foxes ignore it and stare through the patio doors until ‘their’ food gets put out.

    Our foxes only seem to eat cooked chicken. They even turn their noses up at cat food.

    And there was I thinking that all your posts were taking the mick?

    You just did!

    So

    Business as usual then?

    That's a pretty impressive palette of species. Keith Sacre was complaining recently that the average landscape architect works with, on average, ten to twelve species!

    We had an issue with ours a while back. Remote would work until the cutting disc was switched, then it unswitched itself/turned itself off and all remote connectivity ceased. Things would work manually okay. After reading the problem solving PDF for the remote, I started with the basics. All the engine/battery earths - undone/cleaned and replaced if dubious., then every other connection in the system that I could get access to. I'm still not sure exactly what the issue was, I think a poor connection from the receiver into the box with all the relays. What make is the remote?

    This finally arrived, an English translation of Bernd Schulz,s identification book. RRP of £45 but available on Amazon for less than £30. It's got some excellent keys, although some of the botanical terminology is a little deeper than I'm, personally, used to. The glossary is sufficient enough though to work your way through. Like Collins Tree Guide, with over 700 species of trees and shrubs, this book will be one of the first go-to books for winter tree identification help. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Identification-Trees-Shrubs-Winter-Using/dp/184246650X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1531563808&sr=8-1&keywords=identification+of+tree+and+shrubs+in+winter

    He's only got one thorn, ergo one tree - you can't 'first thin' one tree, silly
  16. Gary Prentice
    coppice it
  17. Gary Prentice
    Maybe you could then transplant it?

    A three year (since planting) extra heavyselected Standard won't have developed that much of a root system to begin to become draught tolerant

    Newly planted trees are dying. What a waste to plant, and then not water or even mulch them. Annoyingly, there still seems plenty of resources for planters an hanging baskets - things with no long term environmental benefits.

    On the back of an envelope, if you want to upset planning.
  21. Gary Prentice
    sounds like my barber!
  22. Gary Prentice
    Is there any literature about that shows a significant difference in pathogen colonisation between cleanly cut roots and those that aren’t? I just wonder if we’re a bit obsessive in clean cuts, particularly of smaller diameter roots.
  23. Gary Prentice
    If it ain't on our job sheet/instruction, we ain't doing it! Simples...
  24. Gary Prentice
    Harsh!
  25. Gary Prentice
    Sounds like a result! And thank you for the thank you.
