  1. Bit of a spin of from the title, ment to have posted this ages ago watched all the info about the ripeur 2 gloves ummed & arred then got some mid season wow no more thorns bar the odd 1 through the seam brilliant I thought, only thing have worn through the fingers very quickly (I thought) just under 1/2 a season will need another pair for next season, they weren't doing masses of just thorn , just a good old mixed hedging. What others getting out of them ??
  2. those slabs must be thing if you can use scissors to cut them
  3. Did big hedging job and wanted to burn of waste, all backed onto units as well 30-40m away, but because it was a "country" parish council rather than a town council area no problem burn away was the reply, (job was for the council) according to then if its "country" type council you can just crack on but a town council permission needed ect like the old school preferred wait till after 6pm and not on washing day lol of course depends on how BIG a fire you want
  4. morning Jon, TGB & all.. dry 1st thing now raining but looking SW patchy skys so may clear later
  5. Cracking job:thumbup: In me head I have plans for, and recon a Rice horsebox would make a good conversion. One day maybe like a lot of things
  6. thanks for replys , few things to think on there
  7. just knocked up some "wooden" billhooks, just to stick on the table at demos. Kids always interested in things that cut stuff what would be good CHEAP way of making the blade part look metal (do look better in real life) maybe answering me own question here job lot of grey spray paint ? blow torch, anything else ?? regards all

  17. just found this Hedgerow Trimming Dates - NFU Online scroll down to the SPS section further to what I said before, if you are working on the hedge already you will have seen if any birds are about /nesting, where as a tractor driver would come along cutter out away he go's. Was told thats why "tractor" cutting ends end of Feb but hedgelaying could go on for another month
  18. Have always gone till end of March. Just last year with the lateness of things went into early part of 2nd week in April load of willow on a small island , not even in bud. As has been said, different parts of UK makes a difference, even just down the rd & over the border from me in Devon you get up on top of moors big difference. Current job landowner has spoke to his ELS agent, so long as nothing in flower & no birds nesting ok till end of March. As much as I'd like to carry on, summer work takes over then. mid March & September cross over couple of days of each. I keep track of all locations & hedging job, this season will have covered 1910m
