    Probably far too much energy used in that process to make it worthwhile. Sent from my E5823 using Arbtalk mobile app

    Yeah, it's a very refreshing drink in the spring. I have made a bit of wine with it. Very tasty! Sent from my E5823 using Arbtalk mobile app

    600 acres clear fell ash and elm?? Really. Hmm. Sent from my E5823 using Arbtalk mobile app

    My mistake, it's only £130 odd.

    Thanks guys. I've been using it a bit, but without the skidding cone. I was reluctant to spend the extra £180, might might just bite the bullet! I've got those 70kn pulleys. They're great. I'm using 11mm line coz that's what I had a 200m reel of, sat around, but thinking of getting a length of thicker stuff, as I find the 11mm gets snagged up a bit on the capstan.

    Physio will probably say that it's good to strengthen the muscles around the injury, so put gym membership on your Xmas list!

    I'm looking for a couple of people, with half a brain, to help with ongoing works. PROW stuff, ie stiles, kissing gates etc, and scrub clearance, and heathland restoration work. So need chainsaw and brushcutter tix, ideally others too. Experience not essential, but a switched on attitude would be great. Working on a self employed basis, as and when required. Usually say rate, occasionally hourly. Email [email protected] with your details and a little about yourself.(note-ability to follow instructions -crucial!) Thanks.

    You'll block your flue with tar in no time, then have very little draw, and possibly have a chimney fire. It's not the best thing to burn wet wood, but if that's all you've got, then be aware of the consequences of your chimney /flue.

    As long as you didn't spill your coffee on your lap too?!

    Thanks all. JP is gonna have a look on Monday. If he can't handle it, I'll look elsewhere! ;-)

    Hi. Anyone wanna come and do 5/6 cedar stumps 2-3 ft diameter, Tiverton? Cheers

    I just got a pcw5000 winch. I've been using it a bit, but wondered if anyone else has used one, and got any tips. Cheers.

    My understanding is that the glyphosate needs to be translocated via the cambium. We cut down to stumps, then spray a 20% solution straight on to the freshly cut surface. It doesn't need to be completely covered with spray, as long as the cambium is well covered, saves a decent quantity of chemical. We use a blue dye as well, really helps.

    Try having a chat with your local FC officer. They might be able to help. There's some biggish WRC up on Haldon Hill in Devon. FC woods.

    I use the NFU. Home and Lifestyle insurance. They cover me for accidents and injuries, but not illness. I insure my dog with them too, and the price seems ok.

    If only all the hedges I got to lay were 15 year old hawthorn. :-( <<sigh>>

    How much was that fine looking rig then?? :-)

    I'm looking at getting a petrol powered winch. Treadlight Forestry sell them. They seem pretty useful. Any one got one?? :-)
