My post was nothing to do with immigration / population expansion etc etc ,,,,,but what public perception is of how much land in the UK is built on and it greatly surprises virtually everybody how little it is !! google it or look on google earth , it is a very green and pleasant land we live in . there is a lot of development going on near me ( newton abbot in Devon ) and although it does not please me to see it I am aware of just how much land is just grass !!

The great myth of urban Britain WWW.BBC.CO.UK What proportion of Britain do you reckon is built on? By that I mean covered by buildings, roads, car parks, railways, paths...

farmers are also concerned that if they recruit a UK workforce and the season starts , then furlough ends , they will all go back to previous jobs leaving farms with no workers !!!!
-
if you stack them only 1 pallet deep against the sides ( both sides ) then perhaps 2-3 high then I am sure it will be fine ...esp if doors can be left open as much as possible .......I have shed envy !!

put it on pallets , also have pallets on edge every so often creating vents , so to speak , also another layer of pallets every metre in height to minimise the bulk of the pile , also leave doors and windows open as much / often as possible

Started temp job to make ends meet for a while?
devon TWiG replied to Squaredy's topic in General chat
I will most probably be doing some work on a few farms locally , not really for the money just to ease the boredom !! There is not the amount of driving work that some seem to think there is , I have an HGV license and work part time doing pallet deliveries but this has all but come to a halt now .........I am also a woodturner and make things that sell in local galleries and craft / art shows but all trading has ceased and am not sure what demand there may be for such items once restrictions are lifted , so lack motivation to make stock at the moment . -
it is a cultural / tradition thing I guess and suspect electricity is a recent thing .

one of the main reasons that live meat markets exist is due to lack of refrigeration to keep meat healthy .......we do the same here with crab and lobster !!

Got about a dozen fair size Douglas fir windblow and some are smashed and others have to be cut for safe removal but there is quite a lot of wood ( too much for firewood ) and was wondering what lengths they would best to be cut to and rough value , can make a 20 ton load

Check out this lady .......... Prints — Sarah Woolfenden WWW.SARAHWOOLFENDEN.CO.UK What is a giclee print? The word giclee ("g-clay"), is derived from the French verb gicler meaning "to squirt or spray"...

clean air here then !!

I always have my own supply of wood cut and split ( fairly small ) by Easter and stacked on pallets with tin sheets on top , fairly good airflow ( not too broad a stack ) and when it comes to burning ( Autumn ) I have a days supply in house near woodburner which dries further still , never measure moisture , it just feels right and burns well ...any wood that is , oak does best is split smaller as it does not like to lose its moisture ..
-
There is some very nice wood in that log , the burring although not major will add considerable figuring to the wood esp waney edge boards , there appears to be brown / tiger oak looking at the top end of the log and there is plenty of good wood around the decay area ,,,if you have plans for your own use and are willing to pay for milling then I think it would be worth it , if however you are speculating on selling wood after paying for milling to make a profit then it is a chance you will have to take ...it always is though !!!

Best fence posts for deer fencing
devon TWiG replied to Steve Bullman's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
If it is to protect a new planting site , it will only need protecting from browsing/ fraying for approx 10 years so is there any real need for it to last a very long time ? This will of course depend on species and site !! Also deer stalking will obviously help and allowing brambles to grow instead of constantly cutting back once trees have established for a few years .
