i have about 1/2 acre which we kept the horse and ponie on with the other paddocks. now there gone to rest want to get it back to a lawn again. now its compacted. but under the surface it is full of stones. tried once before breaking the surface up and it brought up loads of stones. now i have left it alone until it started to get some growth but not good loads of weeds. so i cut it last weekend with walk behind and picked up all that was cut. i then went over with ride on pulling a spiker to spike the ground. any good idears to get the grass back. if it comes to it then in autumn will get a cultivator with a stone burier and redo. just want to try and get the grass to spread so it looks green not a pale colour at moment. have a do in 3 weeks on it so want it to look better than it is now. thought of weed and feed but due to it being like it is though i may waste my money doing it. any suggestions apreciated

self employed + business names
hedgesparrow replied to GordonRochdale's topic in Business Management
you can be whoever you like as long as someone near you does not have same or similar. as for HMRC you just have a bank acount with your name trading as whatever. your accountant just logs that with HMRC jobs done. as for ltd becomes expensive has to lodged with companies house books have to be spot on. so cost more for accountant. books have to be submitted on time or penalty's incur. if you can stay sole trading until you are turning over a lot. your accountant will advise when to do this. only other benefit is as ltd its the business that liable not you so if you did run into trouble can only take the company's assets not yours. so house is safe along with any private stuff. -

Thinking of having a crack at making charcoal.
hedgesparrow replied to Woodworks's topic in General chat
thank you for the clear concise details how to do it. will go down wood and start doing some. i knew approx just needed the exact way now i know. need to get some more oil drums so i can have a few going at the same time. -
its is a notifiable weed and should be notified to the EA. as for getting rid of it as other posts only true way of killing it, is to stem inject it with gallop into main stem kills 90% 1st year may have to do more second and third year as for spraying. it will kill the foliage but not the roots which can be 7mtrs long. same for hymilain balsam. looking at £300 for the injector so trust you can get them to pay to buy one Rigby Taylor sell them

you will not go wrong with a kubota. bomb proof. i would have a manual one. hydrostatics can be expensive if they go wrong. or isuki. yanmar very good tractors as good as a kubota. do a lot with a 25hp and will get a very good one for the price you said. as for the imports not heard of any one having one so can not comment. saying that i do have a zeheo and that has been a cracking tractor in a bit of a mess at moment need some tlc. its only downside it has a electronic 3 point linkage and its a pain in butt goes up to quick or down can not set it just right

Forest and Arb do them speak to Richard or jason have a range in stock. as per advert to right hand side of page very good firm

no you do not need the tickets but if you do spray on a third party's site and something goes wrong eg you kill some special plant or it drifts on to a pond and kills the fish. a are you covered under your PL insurance. and with the tickets. you can show you did it all by the book. and did a risk asesment before spraying. the cost can be high. i have 2 mil PL for environmental damage. i trust i never need to use it. after doing my pa1 and pa6 i learnt a lot when to spray and not to. and did very little last year due to weather. thats the other point you charge to kill weeds its damp under foot rain in air waste of time spraying if you do and weeds do not die they will expect it done again for nowt. if you are doing a lot then get the tickets if its a job now and again then get a registered sprayer in and add it to the cost of job. if he or her do it wrong then bucks stops with them

hedgesparrow replied to Woodworks's topic in General chat
what you need is a 40 gallon oil drum. cut the top out right to the edge then cut the other end just inside the tap hole. this will allow the lid to fit on the lip you have left. waiting to go and see a chap to see it done in the flesh, then i can crack on making some. -

i have nothing againts 2 stroke strimmers just prefer my Honda. but would like to have a challenge either one of my hondas against the equivilint 2 stroke same type of cord aspen fuel 4 in mine 2 in the 2 stroke. i believe the Honda will give a 2 stroke a good run if not be better. have to be similar spec in cc. the lord waits any challenger who wishes to take him on, on the battlefield of grass. be interesting to get someone with a scythe in on it. will the king be dethroned and a new king take his crown:thumbup:
-
were can i get a well made scythe not these rubbish ones in certain countrystores. may have a job they have let the grass grow to long. for a mower and strimming be there ages so though of using a scythe. cut it fairly short and finish off with mower.

Advice on buying small woodland
hedgesparrow replied to Baba's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
depends if its a hazel wood thats past its best at present if it needs clearing will take 7 years to be fit to use for a lot of things. as for making stuff chap was making whistles out of hazel and selling for 50p. going like hot cakes. -
so he is now king of all he strims. and has given up smoking. maybe one day the lord may have his challenge to see who wins the brushcuteress arms.
