  1. That’ll be expensive! If they’re only ponies then post and plain wire fence should do
  2. Buy a 365. It will last you 20 years plus
  3. Where can I get a hook like that for my stein poles?
  4. Ordered some saw trousers from honey brothers on Sunday, got a text Monday saying they didn’t have them in stock and would be a couple days, has them delivered yesterday. Great service, great communication. Thanks HB!!
  5. Maybe could be a rowan
  6. Leylandii is perfectly safe for horses. It would be handy to have a list of species that aren’t tho. I’ll start it off with Sycamore Yew Laurel Cotoneaster Any more? What do people know about ivy? Some horse owners won’t have it and some say their horses enjoy eating the leaves and it’s harmless
  7. Thanks David, is it quite rare? Or have I just missed spotting it !
  8. Saw this fungus on a beech today, never seen it before though. Also had old merip around the base and ganoderma too!
  9. A chap I worked for asked me last week if I knew anyone who could lay 170 m of hedge in north Hampshire. I’ve steeped a few Devon hedges but wouldn’t call my self a hedge layer. If anyone is interested in doing it then let me know and I can pm his details
  10. Need a climber for a job in Calne, for either tomorrow, Thursday or Friday. Topping a row of conifers Text me on 07917725646
  11. wowood cauliflower we found yesterday in the Forest of Dean on a Scots pine stump
  12. I have a mature dessert apple in my garden and 4 bramleys in an old orchard behind my house. I have a pig aderyn and a bardsey island apple that I grafted my self last year in pots and a Jane cider apple that I’ve just planted. Was planning to stay at this house for a good few years and plant more apples in my garden and restore the orchard behind, but that might not happen now[emoji853]. I’m a tree surgeon and most people with apple trees in their garden want the tree reducing and less apples, so I tend to prune them like any other tree. If I try to prune them properly, or as properly as I know, it takes me forever!
  13. Yep I would. Haven’t a professional interest in either, more of a hobby.
  14. I’ve got loads of wood left, been freezing all winter have plenty of wood but not a big enough wood burner[emoji853]
  15. No. A death is a death yes, there’s no denying that but put yourself in the animals shoes. You get put in a lorry on the farm where you grew up, taken to an abattoir, not to bad so far as you don’t know what is is going on, even though you are stressed and worried, herded of the lorry into a factory. Would you then like to be put straight out with a bullet to the brain or have your throat cut. There is no need for this. It’s just fucking cruel. I have no problem farming and killing animals for food but do it in the quickest way possible for fucks sake
  16. Mum and dad put in a wood pellet boiler 3 years ago. I think he has 3 or 4 years left of subsidies left but then is thinking of putting in a oil tank as pellets have increased in price so much.
  17. As eggs said get some drain rods in there and get it moving. Buy, borrow or steal some in the morning get out there and just go for it! That should clear it! Have a long hot shower and try to enjoy you Christmas dinner ?
  18. Happy Xmas to all xxx
  19. Be interesting to see how long this chestnut stays standing with 3 different fungi on it! chondrostereum, oysters and velvet shank?
  20. Advertise what?
  21. I lost a tank of diesel few years ago in one of these, I lost a months worth of pay rise to pay for the tank, looks like it wasn’t really my fault!
  22. Great thread Mick, best laugh I’ve had in a week! At the end of the day if you don’t hammer a real nice ancient tree then they all grow back or can be replanted [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106]
  23. Sharpen mine with a grinding disc on an angle grinder blades left on much quicker, maybe not quite as good but hey ho
