John in Scotland

I have a horizontal handy logsplitter. have split about 10 cube so far and only one log not able to split so I cut it with the saw. Why spend hundreds more when a quick chainsaw cut sorts the problem. Mine has a stand and definately worth the 250 I paid for it.

Not exactly industrial scale growing. Good luck to them. Not pushers but a couple of hippy types going gorilla

How much wood are you needing? do you have the space for all that? how much do you burn a year? and where abouts are you?

I'm English(with some distant scots ancestors). I've lived in Scotland for over 15 years after moving from kent. The difference that I see is this Scottish are generally socialist. South of England are tories North of england become more socialist the present system in the uk balancies itself over time swinginging from labour to tory Labour spend it on social policies tories cut the social spending and restore the financial system..rich become richer and poor get stuffed. anyway it kinda works....unless your poor. If scotland becomes independent then we are all stuffed in both countries. Scotland will spend too much England will be run by fat cats and the poor will be stuffed for ever. Scotland will need to swing further to the right and england will need to learn to look after those in need and hold back the tories more. Enough ranting. still undecided as I get a vote head says no heart says yes John

waxy fruit juice cartons work once started.

glad to know as thats what I'm collecting at the mo

burnt loads 5 years ago after splitting it. can be a little twisted, burns great.

I have fond memories of pruning a pear orchard in kent 20 years ago...enjoy. too far for me.

Just seen the pic. I treat it the same as nuisance phone calls. Just turn off and wouldn't buy it. same goes for pay day loans and casino ads and bingo ads etc etc etc. government should stop it and we would all be happier. well quite a few of us.

Oh and I suspect the op was looking for reactions and perhps was ready to explain why he said what he did. anyway..how many split logs in a cube?

lots of logs going in the background..he could do with waving his finger like a chainsaw.

think I read that saw chippings should go through compost heap first as it robs nitrogen.

I keep adding my garden compost and some wood ash each year. We also use comfy tea(homegrown) during the year. and we don't grow the same crop in the same place 2 years running(except rhubarb and any other perennial crops(strawberries/blackberries)

sleety snow, not laying, mostly sideways as quite a breeze
