Hi Hedge, The grant scheme is most welcome, pretty much guarantees work for me Yes we're affiliated to the NHLS and I've been a trade member in the past too. Good to hear you're busy, look forward to chatting with everyone on here. Cheers, Jamie

Hi Mark, Sorry for the delay, don't get online very often. We've got an informal meeting coming up on the 30th of September at the New Inn at Shortstanding if you fancy coming along. Starts at 8pm, would be good to meet up, cheers. Jamie

There's a company called LS Engineering, (I think they're based in Worcester) they :biggrin:were really helpful when I needed parts for an older Stihl strimmer, might be worth googling

We've got an 05 plate club cab (ex Environment Agency Wales). Averages 32mpg if we go easy on the turbo. Absolutely love it, just gone over 100k and still purrs like a kitten. As said before it's good to keep the services up to date. Running on all terrains and mud terrain combo and goes anywhere in snow and mud and carries loads easily, wish we'd bought one years ago.

Hi Hedgesparrow, Good news on the sub forum. How are you fixed for hedgelaying this season? There's quite a bit going in here in the Wye Valley/Forest of Dean - it's become quite popular again and we've recently formed the Wye Valley & Forest of Dean Association. Will post some past and present pictures soon. All the best, Jamie

Hi Mike, That sounds excellent, I'll be up for Saturday workshop (travelling up from the Forest of Dean), cheers, Jamie

Saw a similar (but nowhere near as good) bear sold at a childrens charity auction recently and it went for £400

Hi Coletti, I've been using an L200 Club cab with 4WD since January this year and can't understand why I didn't buy one years ago. My work is a mix of on and off road all year round. Living at a relatively high altitude of 750 - 800 feet above sea level means we suffer with bad weather conditions sometimes for weeks at a time - this years snow hung around for ages and I would have been in dire straits without the L200. (Running on Mud Terrains Rear and All Terrains on the front) It's ok on fuel averageing 28 - 30 mpg on diesel if I stay off the turbo as much as possible, carries 3/4 of a tonne with ease and doubles as dad's taxi too. Faultless in my opinion and experience mate, hope this helps. Cheers, Jamie

Hi all, These are indeed espaliers, normally used to improve fruit yields in formal gardens and orchards. Pleaches or pleaching tend to refer to a partial cut as used in hedgelaying to enable the limb or tree to carry on growing after being laid into the desired position.

Another one

Hazel and willow is best used for living structures when its actively growing - i.e. now. If you wait til november then thats too late so it's best to get started asap mate (but obviously don't disturb nesting birds or wildlife).
-
Hi mate, Can't help with the materials but the main thing is to use something to make the holes with before you push the willow or hazel in. This protects the bark and allows the plants to have a good start and get established more easily. I've always used various pieces of old wood or a metal bar, keep the area moist and they should take well. There's loads of good 'how to' demos on the web to give you loads of helpful advice too cheers. All the best, Jamie

Nice one Ty, much appreciated:thumbup1:

Hi Guys, I've worked as a traditional molecatcher for a few years, loads of good info from Paul- he obviously knows his stuff From my own observations it seems that the only things that will hunt moles for prey are tawny owls and weasels. Cats , foxes, dogs, buzzards and the like will often catch and kill them but never seem to eat them. As Paul says, there's something about them that stops most animals from doing so, almost as if they have a bitter taste or a toxicity about them. They are fascinating creatures and also very industrious - hence the mess they make, cheers, Jamie
