+1 for charnwood very good stoves made on the isle of wight new not cheap from £700 up saw a good one they have just brought out has a hotplate on top lift lid boils a kettle or can griddle on it.

Digga what a cracking job one of the best laid hedges i have seen and to have had to hand ball all the stuff 700mtrs across a muddy field. if anyone should get a medal its you. cracking job. Dorset yours looks good aswell some very good cutters on this site. will upload the hazel hedge. not on my phone so waiting for them to be sent to me. can we have a sub site for hedgelaying and associated skills please.

£110 FOR PANELS days work for two men to collect panels take out old ones and put on truck. £400 for labour= 510 not what icharge. am i near only 40 pound out not bad so charging £30 per hour for 8 hour day.

same all around with grants going less hedges being laid. if hedgelayer is not working then coppcing is not being done it has a knock on. but its not just hedges friend is a coppicer has had no orders for thatching spars this year. and only doing a few hurdles. so quiet all around. and they give out grants to manage woodlands but missed out hedges.they want woodlands managed but hazel woods are becoming neglected and falling into disrepair. need a rethink by the forestry commission's on the grants

fed up with the price of LPG and being held to ransome by the supplier. looking for a cooker that burns wood. not a raburn,aga,esse to heavy as have suspended floors and a arm and a leg. ideal two ovens with the normal hotplates on top.for what it costs in lpg in a year its got to be cheaper as logs are free

thank you for info though the ist of march was for all things to do with native hedges. so have to end of march

official date is 1st of march when birds are supposed to start nesting then the 1st of September. but if already on a hedge you can see what is going on but things are budding so couple of weeks and that be it for the year. apart from demo hedges with dummy hedges. got one to do this year. in may.

how long is a piece of string. how long is hedge, how old is thorn. what diameter is stems. blackthorn loves to knarl itself round each other so needs cutting out to get each stem on its own. what style cheshire. depends what local cutters lay Midland, or welsh style. if midland and was a good hedge £5 per mtr to lay £2.50 per mtr for stakes and binders £1.50 for cutting out and clearing brash extra if to be carted away. two cutters members of NHLS. may be willing to allow you to help lay in return for the lead. good way to learn hedgelaying with a experienced cutter. or if you can upload photo,s could well be willing to come up with a few of us and lay it. and can join in and learn to lay. let us have some more details and there is a no on this site who will help out how about it lads a weekend jolly in cheshire cutting with a few bears in the evening. im up for it Alan Yates.

just got a zubat what a saw cracking saw for coppcing and hedgelaying. had a good saw like them but its not a patch on the silkie. son in law has the folded one as well and good saw

had no problem so far with chip i have been given. its for a softer landing when on trampoline or rope swing. but they are used to the outdoors and not much phases them.

if any one wants to offload any chip near to Winchester will take as much as you want to deliver. using it to fill up play area for grand kids. thank you

what is needed is the dealers you have to promote aspen by having display material showing aspen and why it is good. i know a dealer and he sells and promotes it to some extent but nothing in shop for those unaware of your product. get more knowing and buying then price may come down to allow more professorial who see it on price to buy and try. i am convinced my gear runs better,runs longer and seems to have more power using it. but its not me you need to convince. its those who can only see it by its price. is it not time you as a company got those who use your product to do a comparison test to see if saws run longer on your product. them maybe yo would have converts coming to aspen and price may drop to make it more affordable in these hard times

can you give me the detail of the guy who makes these saws go. like him to do the 576 and if poss the echo that be a job making that go any better

i was scrub clearing this week had a fire not ideal had some thorn to get fire going then it was elder horible stuff to burn. had to make sure fire could not blow in wind as plenty of dry grass yes this time of year. banked it with earth then covered to stop wind blow next day removed earth and had some good charcoal left and still warm ideal to get fire going again worked all the days up on hill last day just banked earth p again and left it will go out and will decompose over summer but made charcoal if not deliberately. so need to get going making it this summer have plenty of old hazel to use.

shame you are not near have plenty of yew.

looking at specs for the 576xp auto tune the 372 or the 390 then the latter is the best of them all has more power weights not much more than the 576. and can take up to a 28" bar if money is a factor as well then the 576xp hands down. im glad i have the 576xp. does all i want and more beside.

sounds interesting whereabouts in Devon would like o come down to see hows its done whisky no prob

+1 on doing longer grass rough for normal grass. then a toro,ferria,scag but latter two good money secondhand will not get much change from 2k plus

thanks for info the west sussex sounds interesting. will get the book get some idears old woodsman did it with oil drums as the old ones still left in shed so will give it a go left me with 60 bags of charcoal so need to bag up and see if i can sell it local.

what engine has it got good mowers will cut through most things getting old now .

does any one do charcoal burning looking to dip toes in to this market. is it worth doing and do i need one of the big bins to do it or can i use a old 40 gallon drum to do it and is any wood ok to use have mostly big old hazel. which is only good for burning or charcoal any advice appropriated. also is there a course near to me you can go on

have a 576xp on a 20 inch bar and very pleased with it cuts throught timber like butter. yes is a bit heavy but use it for bigger trunks. cutting through a fallen 20 inc ash and its cut through before you know it has. want a 550xp to replace echo tried the 560 good saw and powerful if it was between a sthil or husky then husky wins

what make is the fishing boat. is it a cathedral hull and is it inboard or outboard and make of engine.you are making me jealous just what i want a nice fishing boat to go out to needles but fast enough to get back if weather changes. miis my sea fishing so pecfull no phones no radio just the isle of wight rooks and the sea lapping against hull bliss

and a sculptor to boot. good photos. why do they let pops grow so big then pollard them like they do. be good to try and lay some like that. would need some help to do it. and a good winch to lower them down.

+20 male goldfinch. and as its Sussex its tom
