Neighbour insurance company requesting tree felled
GarethM replied to FBNK's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Providing you are happy for the tree to be removed, if they want it gone, then it should be done entirely at their cost including any remediation and putting right of boundaries, patio space etc etc -

Or just put an IBC cage in the garden with a lid and they'll dry relatively quickly. But if it's green split timber you'll have zero chance of drying inside or in the garden in time for burning.

My experience has been the opposite, when grass grows and dies off the roots don't search far for nutrition around 5". When it's flailed off or grazed in a low intensity the nutrition is distributed and the roots go deeper and benefit the soil structure by getting into the clay and searching for nutrition upto several feet.

I am a farmer, carbon sequestration is just another scheme like carbon credits. Actively managing my mature woodlands 100+ years and older, clearing self seedlings and young holly which swamps out and kills bluebells. Over 10-15 years it's tripled the bird of prey population including buzzards, and equally the numbers of wildlife. In terms of the land, it's zero input low density sheep grazing. It's was poor quality land but sheep eat what they want and I mow the rest, encouraging soil regeneration that isn't monoculture grassland which works harder. Not grazing or not mowing does nothing to improve soil regeneration/quality.

Slightly less technical but good enough for government work.

Will that be televised ?, I'm Hugh Edwards read above and then the trapdoor opens. Probably with James Corden or someone equally vapid pulling the lever.

I'm interested, but can already guess they'll beat the climate change drum expecting farmers to sacrifice land and trying to change subsidies, I receive nothing and manage mine out of my own pocket. If they wanted to solve the land part of the problem, go speak to the mod and the king. Thousands of acres of crown estate and Salisbury plain etc which they could start reforesting from the road side without any real sacrifice or objection.

Sadly that is not going to be possible, shoots use set aside areas as they are used in rotation and as a result change yearly. The only decline is generally urban areas as apposed to farmland, farmers manage the land with many having replanted hedgerows as we know our environment.

Do you win a prize like a free roll of perforated tinfoil or is it a knock on the door and a lobotomy whilst watching repeats of loose women just to sure it's been a success ?.

Weren't they mostly involved with those paradise papers, or whatever dodgey scheme it was called?.

Isn't that just a continuation of the old Gordon brown idea of you pay everything to the government and they give you whatever they think you deserve. So we create a digital currency, on top of the existing sterling. Both would be variable like all currencies, will his WEF mates be doing similar things. After a few years will it get rolled into one cough cough global currency, perhaps called a Schwab?.

Well I did wonder when it asked for my bank details for you to pay me to view 😉.

Are your only fans fees less or more than that cheap Tesco soap ?

Around the world you can argue planting trees can be beneficial to the environment of those countries, think reversing desertification that sort of thing, the UK and most northern counties not so much as we have large amounts of forest and managed and productive farmland. What is the point of planting trees on valuable arable land ?. What is your goal, carbon dioxide reduction at the expense of growing it in the 3rd world?.

I prefer my batteries to be more cylinder shaped, can you help ?

Is that like Gwyneth Paltrow's candle, for lack of a better word, the smell of the her inside ?. Bit unsure if I'd want a sniff of an old French lady

Ah but like iso 9001, he's consistently cr*p and a long history of being utterly useless. And will without much question, be elected again.

When you get paid per tree they'll plant them anywhere, I did read an article that was atleast a little pragmatic and suggested they should have started around existing fringes of forest which would guarantee better success. I'm not a eco type, but they do need to be a bit more selective in the schemes. The Aral sea would be my first choice, literally an inland ocean has disappeared if solved would probably reduce the touted rising sea level and turn a desert back to farmland.

Shurrup you for calling out my choice of soap, give it a try and the Mrs might appreciate it ;). Unlike most soap and shower gel it doesn't leave any residue, so no need for big brushes and scouring pads. I'm surprised they're not moaning about the cost of shaving, the fascination with expensive razors at what £3 a cartridge. I DE shave for less than 6p a week, I'm still working through £10 worth of blade I bought a decade ago and have atleast another 15 years before I need more.

Maybe it's those highbrow places you shop, but all the usual supermarkets have plenty at 2 bars for 85p. Not sure whatever happened to the old unbranded soaps that even the rats wouldn't eat, maybe b&m ?. As even then a bar of dove last about 4 months, say 3 bars a year at 47p each. Oh the poverty!.
-
Is this where we'll have a 1980s style homebrew resurgence but for making your own soap ?. These £500 ingredients to make 10p worth of hipster soap.

From what I've seen about Canadian media, they're all very reliant on government funding to survive so tow whatever guff they get told. Slowly slowly and all that

No need to get technical in your calculations and over think things. Square off the dimensions and measure as if it were a fish tank and half the result. I would sarcastically suggest filling it with water but that may take a while :).

But was he wearing clean underwear incase of an accident?
