if you want to grow spuds old tyres put a couple down fill with compost put spuds in wait untill starting to shoot put one more on and keep going untill you have about 5 then wait to shoot and flower then take the tyres off and you will have plenty of spuds. carrots grow in drain pipes 4 parts compost one part sharp sand or if you grow in beds put garlic or marigolds around them smell put fly off.same for parsnips. as for soil as other post do not get sifted soil no goodness just need good dug soil and plenty of organic matter, leaves mixed with muck. and let to rot. i have ground horses wee and poo went down onto and we grow fantastic crop of runner beans they love it -

British Standard! Paid for with your council tax!
hedgesparrow replied to GTW's topic in Trees and the Law
in defense of parish councils who i do work for any tree work that needs doing they employ a qualified tree surgeon to do the work. and the one they use a lot is very good. so not all parish or city councils are as bad as photos. best thing you can do is get hold of your councilor who represents you and point it out if nothing is done it goes on. -
watch out the timber fairies are about again
hedgesparrow replied to Joy Yeomans's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
buy a camera they use for taking still of wildlife put them on trees takes photo os the fairie and hand to police.not much will get done but if seen you know its him knicking your wood. other trick is get a wire trap wit blank shotgun cartridge in trip wire off goes shotgun give them a nasty shock. or the harrows as other post go in do not come back out. find there motor next morning or them cold being out all night:001_tt2: -

after having a visit from a gentleman from Ireland selling chainsaws. and fake ones on e bay. farm sales are coming up. and with the amount of them about.if you do go to a sale keep your eyes out as more than likely the fakes will be in the action for sale. can sometimes get a good buy on a genuine saw. but with them about it will be looking for the fakes from the real ones. hate to see someone part with money only to find they have a Chinese saw and with auctions buyer beware once bid and won its your lot no come back:blushing:

i am self employed but contracted on certain jobs. i work hard and normally finish before the allocated time most ok but some because it was a certain time want that time so want more work doing. other jobs it is priced so its do a good job and get it done to make money. being employed you get paid if it rains,snows and can not work, then if it is fine then need to get jobs done the employer has to pay all the bills and tax and NI so not all its made out to be a boss or being self employed. done both

is it for horses. can go two ways concrete posts in that makes post firm nag leans on rail and it breaks just put posts in and back fill the over time nags lean on rails and post lean over needing to be put back up and packed. i know as i had horses bloody things but love them. with a digger and post hole borer you could do a lot in a day if just back filling the holes so 100mtr day is posible if digging by hand be hard pushed unless you have a very fit 20plus on shoveler. as son in law and he can dig holes. i can not keep up or do as much as he can in a day.
