Willow does seem to be prone to snapping as you've shown. I was trying to convert some untidy shrubs into higher pollards by promoting a single stem but they all fell down and have returned to being untidy shrubs.

Scouts are non-stick...

Last Winter I had a willow felled, ended up with a main trunk about 8' high which I'm intending to keep as a pollard: Despite daring to think that the drastic pruning had actually killed it (a willow, can you imagine?), eventually some tiny shoots started appearing. Seemingly overnight, because I hadn't notice it before, it's suddenly turned into Cousin It: A few minutes with a hedge trimmer gave me the rough shape that I'm after but I fear I might be fighting a losing battle...

Heathfield 1st Scouts are after some large trunks for seating. Scots pine would be ideal as it doesn't seem to have much use for anything else but anything welcome. Good access but funds are limited so free would be very much appreciated!

I think you misunderstand my point. The OP is claiming that because Charles was born before Princess Elizabeth became Queen, her 3rd son, Edward, is the 2nd son born to Queen Elizabeth II. This is correct but also nonsensical. Anyway, I'm bored with this thread.

The statement is subject to semantic evaluation. It's like saying Sir Roger Moore didn't have any children because he was knighted after they were born. Anyway, 6 pages of replies for a really unimportant argument! That's value for money

I ******* love the Internet. Somebody ranting against ignorance who doesn't even know the facts. Priceless!

Plug size would be best - easy to sell and potentially post. Nice little gift for someone

I reckon they'd make more money selling seedlings. Would make nice little Christmas trees!

Someone was bound to say hornbeam eventually anyway... just thought this was a nice example of two trees living in very close proximity to each other. A mixed tree marriage if you like...

Think father in law has a decent strimmer which I can borrow if needs be (they live with us!) I might try 2.4mm line but if not I'll get rid
-
Yes. Definitely Oregon but a cheaper model
-
No, just snaps together. Yours must be a less domestic product.

You haven't met my missus:D

Glad to help you vent! .Found out the head does come apart just by pulling and inside is just 2 fencing Gripples (branded as such). Resorted to using my Stihl brush slasher hand tool thing to clear some brambles for my hammock where I'll be sleeping tonight

Don't think there are any screws!

I did leave a tail - that sheared off too! Nothing left to grab it with...

It was labelled as for a bent shaft strimmer: [ame=https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00GGFA8SM/ref=pe_385721_37986871_TE_item]Oregon Jet-Fit 552697 30 CC Universal Easy-Load Trimmer Head for Bent Shaft with Red Round Line: Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools[/ame] but I will have a look and see which way it rotates. Is it worth shelling out for expensive trimmer line or is there a cheaper alternative?

I have a Mountfield flexible shaft strimmer and unlike sandspider, it starts and runs fine. I got really frustrated with the crappy bump head so on recommendation here, I bought an Oregon Jet-Fit. The problem I now have is that the line snaps after about 20 seconds of use - I'm trying to trim a mixture of brambles, rushes and grass. The line I'm using is 2mm nylon (the packet says "Quality Professional" so it must be good stuff ). It's also snapped flush with the head and I can't extract it to fit any more. Any clues here? Is 2mm line not up to the job? The head says it will take up to 2.4mm so would that be worth a try or should I be investing in something that can take a blade?

Footwear for extremely steep banks? Tree for forewood

Can you not winch the tree down the slope before cutting it? -
Frankly it's more useful than my chainsaw at the moment

Can offer you Cross In Hand, TN21

That should rival a Land Rover in terms of reliability and build quality

I didn't think this was that kind of forum, lucky fellow

George Rose have lost a few of their workshop staff and can't find replacements so unable to service the hire equipment now. They'll be keeping the shop and expanding welding supplies as well as their gas business
