You and your 4wd. I drove my empty lwb Cabstar along here unassisted. Those ruts are so deep the front axle was hitting the ridges quite hard. I know people that could get a 4x4 stuck along this track.

Nah Victor Kyan before he started messing with razors.

Wood splitter suitable for a Ford Dexta Tractor?
Peasgood replied to ricki's topic in Firewood forum
I have an Oxdale that works off the tractor hydraulics. I really like it and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the pto version of the same going on how mine works. I do have a bigger splitter too but the Oxdale is staying. -
20 years ago you would have to go to west Wales to see one, now they are everywhere. As Adam says, it is a sign of good ait quality. I believe the sulphur in the smoke from mostly burning coal kept such things away, including scab on roses etc. Nice to see the lichen but could do without the scab.

ps. Silky are half as nice again but for twice the money.

Bahco Bowsaw 21 Inch 331-21-51 (+ free 23-21 blade) | eBay Make sure you get peg tooth not the raker tooth. Peg tooth is where each tooth looks exactly the same.

Did Rab get himself a new wife then? I suppose with her running Scotland it must have been a strain.

There's a bloke down my road, he had 5 chainsaws. I only stole 3 of them off him one night. Nowt wrong with that is there. I can't understand this selective romantacising of criminals. The Krays were not nice people either.

I can see buds bursting on the twigs in that top pic. That doesn't happen on dead trees. Besides that, if it is dead it does not automatically follow that it was that fungus that killed it. That fungus could specialise in living on already dead willow. I have some big weeping willow trunks covered in that fungus, some poplar too. neither were killed by the fungus though.

Arse! Same date as Father Ted actor died.

Instead of spreading them over 2 acres pile them up into less than a quarter of one acre and then put a cover over them. You could put a cover over them when spread over two acres but a quarter acre cover is easier to manage. Just as important to get them up off the two acres as well in a bit of air flow underneath them kind of way.

Me neither right now. Pixy any use 10 x Pixy Rootstocks for grafting Plum Trees. 2 year stock 7 - 9mm. | eBay Worth asking that seller too. Had some apple rootstocks off them last year and they were exceptionally good.
-
Ebay is good for rootstocks in small numbers.

Ultrasound therapy healed my mates lads broken arm in record time. The doctors couldn't believe it. May be worth looking into.

If I make it to 92 I will have a brandy if I want one and will stay in bed if I want to, even if either are bad for me. I certainly won't thank anybody for dragging me out of bed whether it's good for me or not. Terribly sorry you lost your mother openspaceman and very sorry to hear about your Dad Stubby. Look after him

Chipper!!!!! I have spent the last decade trying to grow the stuff. I found 2 more trees in my orchard with it in now, making 7 so far.
-
Just curious but has anybody understood any of them?
-
They can and do die from too much reduction. I think they are more likely to regrow from a complete fell than a severe reduction at times. As said, there are an awful lot of different sorts of willow and they do react differently. If you want it to live then leave one branch on to act as a lung and draw the sap. You can cut it off a year later once the rest of the tree has got going.

Last Saturday I decided to build a website for a future business idea. I have never done such a thing and was told Siteground was a good starting place. I bought a domain name and a years hosting, installed Wordpress and spent a little while figuring out what did what. Cost me £28.80 in total. The site is built and i just stuck some pictures in there to play around. I have no contact page as there is nothing to contact about or sell etc. I just did it for fun really and I like learning new tricks. As I said, I have never done this before so if you want to see what a novice can achieve in no time at all have a look. The life of an orchard Wouldn't mind £1200 for doing it.

Tell them you'll be happy at a fiver less than the barrister.

When I tried reporting my phone not working they asked if I had paid the bill. WTF? My BT Profanity broadband hasn't worked since October.
-
yes mate. Just carefully touch up the teeth by re filing the very top, very small flat on the tips. File towards the point. If you balls it up you've lost nowt.

I quite agree. Tony Martin is a victim not a hero. What he did was quite wrong, and he was foolish how he went about it too. Of course desperate people often do foolish things, he has my sympathy but not my admiration.

I have a 300mm Gomtaro and have just bought another one. Just because I can rather than I need to. If you buy a Silverline diamond feather file you can easily sharpen the Gomtaro blade in 10 minutes or so. The file costs a fiver or so from Amazon/eBay and the like. For that money it is worth a go. With no great skill and just a little care the re sharpened blade is just as good as new and lasts very nearly as long as a new bought one before needing sharpening. That £5 file will save you well over £100
