Horse chestnut or sweet chestnut? Either way, if you save it up then list it in car boot sized loads free on gumtree or Facebook I should think people would collect it. They certainly would down here, may be a bit different in London?
-
Thank you. Not worth the time for me I fear. Maybe I need a pickup or van!
-
Would a ton bundle fit in the boot of an estate car? And is it all barky, or is there a reasonable amount of solid wood? Would it be lots of conifer, or mixed all sorts? Thanks

Could do with some serious rain here Seems a shame to say it, but my trees need water

I thought juglones were secreted by the leaves / nuts / buds, not the roots? I've got a walnut tree I planted, now about 2m high, and lots of other plants are still growing around it...

How long did you dry them out for?

Can someone help to explain the use of a Combi Fuel Can 5 Litre?

I find 2 stroke mix tastes horrible, but I've only ever put the petrol in first. Will try oil first and report back. -
I use Makita 2t oil, which i doubt is as good... (But none of my kit is top end) I treat all the petrol I buy, then it's good as pure petrol for the mower & wheeled strimmer, and when I add 2t oil it's good for the 2 stroke kit too.
-
For what it's worth, I use various 2 stroke kit quite infrequently (home use only). I use E5 petrol (super unleaded or whatever) and a fuel stabiliser, Briggs & Stratton I think. I can leave a strimmer unused for 5 months or so with fuel in it and it will fire up after a few pulls. I've probably jinxed it now!

What is it? I want one!

How steep was the slope?! Got a few sloping sections in my garden and was thinking about a ride on, but maybe a robotic mower would be less risky...

Just tried again for two minutes - 8 this time! Blue tit, robin, chiffchaff, woodpigeon, wren, blackcap, sparrow and crow. Saw a buzzard, but it didn't call so Merlin didn't count it!

👍 I've just got 4 birds in a one minute recording! Chiffchaff, blackbird, robin and black cap. Probably better earlier in the morning as you say, or might try for a longer recording later on if I get a chance.
-
Is that 13 birds in 9 minutes?

Get a lot of leaflets offering insulation, heat pumps etc. round our way at the moment. I feel anything they're pushing so hard is not for our benefit, but to relieve the government of money. I fear the job would be shoddy, and the installers would be long gone when the problems started. I could be cynical and wrong of course!
