try harper plant lopcombe corner nr salisbury or wessex plant bristol i doubt if they have a second hand one but may have either a new one or may know were you can hire one.

its a hard job guarding the hedge had to have a couple of bevvies saturday to give me strength to lay my hedge doing 1ft a hour was such hard work had to rest:biggrin: will not be the same at melplash 10yard cant in 5 hours now thats going some. still bacon buttie and coffee should set me up for day. glad you had a good day Dorset jad a brill day at Alresford as you say the right people who want hedges laid. will speak to you on bone or at melplash.

with digging it up do you know you have got it all just one small piece can regrow. for £90 for stem injector with chemical just inject the crown 99% sucsess rate in first year may need a second dose but digging it if it spreads 7mtrs are you going to dig 7 mtrs around to try and get every bit, what a job and expence. as for 25year garentee how can you give that. all you can do is say will inject it and should be dead in a few weeks but no garentee

JIM E is your man send him a pm will let you have a price yes it was a farmi could not think of the name but cracking machine. wish i had the cash would buy one save me so much time sawing and splitting wood. still waiting on JIM E looking at hiring one so that would be my best option get a load in and cut and split into woodshed ready to go out.

being a parish lengthman have this come up with hedges etc over footpaths. it is the owner who is responsible as on there property. if they are a danger to traffic then it is the duty of the parish to inform the owner of this and to do remedial work. if not the council can get the work done. which i have done. so inform the parish clerk and let them send a letter to the owner. it is then all legal and if anything does happen then the owner will be responsible for not maintaining there trees. and the parish may instruct you to do the work to clear the highway.

touch wood i have been very lucky that by the time we lay hedges the blighters have gone and not found a nest same with strimming or hedge cutting been very lucky not to hit a nest. makes me come out in a cold sweat thinking about it. as did a hedge last week and was advised that there was a wasps nest but did not see any. only thing i did have was some bee hives near to were i was strimming and bee keeper said be careful as they may think you are a hornet and come out and take you on.

just treated a load of it with stem injector in to crown with neat glypho. see how it looks in a weeks time. but other bits that were injected all dead and not come back. think your find that injecting it by watercours ea ok with it as does not go into water. but i still would get a permit to do it cover my back

. hampshire you can get permits which alow you to dump waste 12 visits a year. or as other posts if you can store it untill you have a lot hire a shredder and shred it to make compost. there is a site near to me which take green waste called green otter you did say reading so berkshire so maybe a bit far to haul it just found out from son in law he is into recycling try county council berkshire have trade waste sites. mat have permit system or dedicated site but if that is what you are using a dear way to get rid of it.

you are in the right place join south of england hedgelaying society do 3 training days and a improvers day ideal way to learn the craft many a champion cutter in there ranks learnt a lot with them

i lay hedges because i enjoy it. i can go down into woods all on my jack and collect my stakes and binders. stopping on a tree stump for a drink and a fag. then there is the pleasure to see a hedge all gappy out of control to bring it back to a nice formed hedge which will last for years. s good for nesting birds for insect life good windbreak and stockproof fruit for birds or humans in the autumn. what more reasons do you need to lay a hedge instead of a flail or grub it out. as for price 15 year old hedge £10.50 a mtr to include stakes and binders plus pile up brash to take away by the owner of hedge extra if wanting it cleared. worse the hedge more it cost as less mtr per day. should be able to do 20mtrs a day on a good hedge. learn the craft and be one of many wanting to lay hedges. i knew a chap who was a master of hedgelaying and work followed him as i found out the more you do the more hedges find you but he earned £50k a year for laying hedges. but he was one of the very few who earn this sum. its a goal to reach by the time you are in your seventies. but yes the money is nice but i do it because i enoy it so i help with a group laying hedges get a free pint a bit of fuel and a lunch at christmas which is enjoyable. make your mind up. were are you in country if you can give me pointers can let you know of groups local to you who teach hedgelaying. once bitten by blackthorn there is no cure you will want to cary on doing it. i love hedgelaying.

if you have barriers up and signs saying do not enter and he does and get hurt then his fault. if he is not happy with what you are doing say go to council and lodge a complaint. by the time its gone through the departments jobs done. you must have permission to do job show him papers saying you can and send him off saying have a nice day

good afternoon good site with very knowledgeable people on this site. mind of information will always get a answer to a problem

well under sale of goods act 1979 para 14 the saws are not fit for the job. put in writing they have 7 days to repair saws to your satisfaction. replace with new saws. or refund your money in full plus your time and expense for having to go back with them. failure to any of this then take to small claims. but as they have had them back and have not fixed them ask for your money back and go elswere. shocking service. as for sthil hq good luck bet they side with dealer.

yes need the ticket to be able to work on road and put the signs up. i did mine with council as i am contracted by them so cost me nowt. bt if you do do the course if its no more do chapter 8 it lets you do more and you get the little red book with it

by the hour plus if you supply water then a bit for that plus take in the cost of having to pull a tonne of water around so fuel consumption goes down. never worked it out as contracted and thats one of the jobs but more i think of it i think they are going to have to pay more for me doing it. so i recon £20 plus per hour. i know any pressure washing jobs is going to be based on a hour and a half from now on. on contract jobs.

as other post salisbury is a cracking track. and have a go at enduro as a novice will need a enduro tyre on back but great fun 3 hours non stop riding over 6 plus miles of track. i am marshaling 29th at Four marks near alton 2.5 hour over 6 miles. some very good practice tracks for enduro riding in wales. as for MX in your area sorry can not help someone will son in law has just got a 2009 yzf 450 yam and his mate has the 450 susuki had a 125 then went to a 200 ktm but says the 450 handles much better as more power. saying that folded it into a burn and wrecked the hyperflo rad. new £500 for a pair ouch
