Couldn't see any other reason for it to die. Looked at the pics hoping for a clue, expecting to see something that may have recently changed. My first thought was it may be short of water but nothing looks to have changed recently. Unless you know different, things like new patio, excavations for fences, other trees removed etc. Looking at the pics the thing I did notice was it is a bloody big tree that must inconvenience the neighbours quite a lot with shade, fallen leaves, nesting birds (nesting pigeons or magpies are a pita). All things that point towards someone wanting rid of it. As I said, this was before reading what you said about your neighbours. Doesn't mean I am right, it could just be old age.

ps. I am not an expert and have no evidence

Skimmed through your first post and missed the bit about "has it been poisoned". Not having seen that suggestion my conclusion was it has been poisoned. I don't agree with poisoning it but it is a rather antisocial tree for the neighbours. A big tree that drops prickly leaves everywhere (even healthy holly trees do)

Traditionally used for handles of things like forks, spades, hoes etc. Not easy to find good quality examples these days so may be a market there. Also used for wooden wheel spokes and cart shafts, probably a limited market there too. Furniture would be the next one, from memory I think the bent hoops used in chair backs and rocking chairs are ash, it certainly lends itself to steam bending. Maybe now is the time to reignite the interest in such things rather than just ignite it in a logburner.

Puncture proof is the way to go. Mine came from Tesco of all places and has outlasted the barrow. It will be going on the next barrow when I buy one.
-
I don't know the dates of any changes but I expect the reason for brass is it won't cause a spark, this is quite an important feature of any materials used in explosives factories.
-
They certainly did, tbh I thought they still were. I've been fooled into thinking I have found treasure when my metal detector picks them up. I have found a few pinfire versions too which was a bit more interesting. (equally worthless mind)

Can't see anything wrong with it. Never had orange spots on apple leaves so don't know what that might be.
-
If that is your aim then just spread "green waste". The composted stuff that results from all the recycled stuff from the council. Absolutely full of tin foil which will ruin any metal detectorists day. As a land owner I wouldn't touch the stuff but if I had issues with nighthawkers I might consider it.

Stihl are loads better than Husky.

That is a very brave move isn't it? I thought even proven red sports are prone to reversion.

Driven a lorry 2-3 times a week for over 30 years and not once has anybody ever looked at any of my tacho records. The first lorry I drove had just been bought because it had a tacho and they had just been made a legal requirement. Other driver of the same lorry got pulled with no disc (it was a paper type rather than digi) and even then they didn't know what the rules were (police/VOSA). No charges were brought.

Pretty sure you can lay until end of March. Nice job

Drove through Chester today at 11am ish and it struck me as eerily quiet. Similar to 7am on a Sunday. Then went on to Warrington where it was as if Covid never happened.
-
I am all in favour of diy and homemade etc but my Stihl Turbocut was worth every penny. Being useless at climbing and scared of heights it has enabled me to dismantle some incredibly big trees from the ground. Top marks all the same.

Sort of. I have been living in a static for the last two and a half years, winter weather can be a bit bleak but I actually quite like it. I know it sounds stupid but I am quite happy in my £3k trailer and my house is going to be worth well over £500k. Come the light nights and I won't be indoors anyway. First world problems -

Looking good, I am nearly done with mine but never found anything good like that under the plaster. -
Thanks. I will mull it over as I really like money but not very keen on people.

The cut off stalks are dock, 99% certain of that and if you take a pic of any leaves amongst them would confirm. Hogweed stalks are a much lighter colour. Struggling to id the tumbled down dead things, look similar to nettle and willow herb but I don't think it's either. Better pic of the leaves and flower structure on them would help. Not really important as either way a directed application of glyphosate will work. Painted on at a 50:50 watered down mix stirred into wallpaper paste means it only gets what you put it on. -
How to Start a Campsite, Glamping Site or Caravan Park: UK Planning and Licence - Pitchup® WWW.PITCHUP.COM A guide to planning permission and licences needed to set up a campsite, glamping site or caravan park in Britain, 28-day...
-
You get 28 days a year with no planning permission. Could be a good earner if you can get some toilets and showers. I think it might actually be 56 days at the moment
-
Hmm. I have a very nice 5 acre field in the countryside which could be a lovely campsite.
-
A few days of weather like today has been and every bugger will just abandon lockdown. I can't see people complying until April, not sure how many are complying now. Not many people around here but not much if any compliance either.

Skip the first few volumes. Volume 14 is where it starts to be a bit more enlightening.

Should be in the Rate my Hinge thread.
