Colts Foot Dow Shield gets it. I don't think you can get that any more, Grazon 90 maybe (if you can still get that), any cheap hormone will probably knock it about a lot and good old glyphosate if you keep at it. Kurtail should get it in theory.

Or an apple oak? It's in one of my apple trees

You can become addicted to Diazepam in one week. My Grandfather was addicted and he became exactly the same as any other junkie. His only thoughts/topic of conversation centred around when his next fix was. He was a very intelligent man, reduced to sh*t by this stuff. Avoid it if you can. My Grandfather was a research chemist who did an awful lot of work in the development of liquid and plastic crystals, wrote books on the subject and is still regarded as a pioneer on the matter. All your LCD and LED stuff owes a certain amount to his work. He was a farmer and planted more leylandii than you are likely to see and probably produced and sold a great number of the ones that keep many of you in work.

They are very different chemicals. I'm not convinced Grazon did a right lot and Kurtail isn't a miracle cure either. Weedazol deffo knocks it about for a few years.

This may have been said as I admit to not reading the whole thread. If you go to a doctors with a bad back they will tell you to rest and give you some drugs. If you want to get your back fixed go to a chiropractor or osteopath, they will fix your back. Last place I would go with a bad back is the doctors, last thing I would take would be Diazepam. I prefer a bad back tbh.

Weedazol is very effective (much more than anything else mentioned so far) but is not selective. I don't believe anything is selective against it.

What I was really getting at is that by paying rates it obviously becomes a business site. Does this not make it easier to get planning for sheds and possibly house(s) at some point in the future? This is a question rather than a statement. You may begrudge paying the rates now but it may be very beneficial in the long term.

Have I left it too late for Australia??
Peasgood replied to kitnskye's topic in International Arborist Forum
Have you ever been there? -
If you pay rates on it, does it then become a "brownfield" site?
-
Mine is lit. Drying my work clothes after getting drowned today, cooked my tea on it, cooked tomorrows lunch on it and heated enough water for me and my lad to have scalding showers. Might even light the one in the living room too, it's not very warm.

I never felt the blade was tight enough on a 24". Maybe just my preference. If the 21" isn't big enough I would use a chainsaw anyway.
-
It was while it was in the log basket that I could smell it rather than when burning it.
-
A new Bahco 21" bow saw. Silkys are very good but IMO too expensive for what you are doing, plus the Bahco blade will last twice as long. (As long as you store it in the dry)

I had some cherry given to me as firewood. Whenever I took the logs into the house it gave a strong typical cherry aroma. I have a cherry tree in my garden, would that do the same or does it need to be a special variety? Are some stronger smelling than others?

Any arbtalking veg growers in da house?
Peasgood replied to Tony Croft aka hamadryad's topic in The Lounge
Rabbit has dug up and eaten 4 of my tomato plants last night. Probably in retaliation for the 15 of his mates I shot on Monday. -
Mildew, aphids and canker, possibly blossom wilt. In that order.
-
Don't know if it has a limit. Years if it has.
-
No difference, both have 360g/l glyphosate.

Poor growth at the tops of young trees
Peasgood replied to Lin11's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Very nearly looks like Roundup damage, especially the first one. -

Wouldn't be too bad if the costs stopped there, but they go on and on Fuel for the vehicles is crippling never mind the effects of all the folks employed to try and make you go bust before you even get to work. The need for all the licences, certificates, tests etc etc is understandable to a point, it is the cost of them all that is damned hard to swallow. Add cpc stuff to it all now just to be on the safe side. When will they be doing retests on car drivers just to make sure they are safe? Never, because there would be uproar.

I resisted a microwave for years. Have had one, didn't like it much and decided i wasn't having one. Son mithered me to get one, refused mainly because of the mess i knew he would make in it. Anyway, he inherited one off his Grandad. I used it for the second time yesterday and somehow managed to explode some Bombay potatoes all over the inside of it. I will eat them cold next time! As for the fire, lit it tonight because I was cold and wet when I got home. Unconscious within 30 minutes and comatose for about 3 hours. I guess I was tired too.

anyone cut through a BT cable underground?
Peasgood replied to Matthew Storrs's topic in General chat
If it is only 6" deep it is more than likely that it never was buried. BT armoured cable is very often referred to as "self burying".
