Weed membrane could fit the bill Did it work?
-
I've got an electric ride in car you can have to modify or use for parts - the steering might come in useful
-
I'd be worried about rot but could give it a go
-
I was hoping this was going to be a way to stop my willow sprouting from the trunk when I'm trying to lift the crown/pollard

No, I meant something like this: [ame=http://www.amazon.co.uk/Stainless-Steel-Whistling-Tea-113518/dp/B000YHUQCG]Stainless Steel Whistling Tea Pot, #113518: Amazon.co.uk: Kitchen & Home@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51Vhqhm-f3L.@@AMEPARAM@@51Vhqhm-f3L[/ame]

Just be a little careful when handling them. Mould spores can be carcinogenic but I would have thought burning them would destroy them adequately

Zebra kettles from Thailand are excellent but not easy to get hold of in the UK

There is privet around and I know it likes poor soil. I'll compare it with a known trees, thanks. If it does turn out to be privet, should I just leave it or cut it down? I don't want to lose the conifers as they're hiding a barn
-
Most things won't grow underneath a conifer, it seems, but this is doing OK - any idea what it is?
-
Bamboo?

Not a sausage. Only the photos of a very handsome chap walking away having just turned the camera on... I've moved it now, closer to where the damage was, so will see what happens
-
Mine is a complete pain in the 'arris. So much that after about half an hour of it starting and then dieing immediately, it was put down with a little more force than was strictly necessary. As a result, I have to replace some throttle parts as didn't find them all...
-
That's what high seats are for! Although there is provision for shotgun use in the deer act, it would leave someone potentially open to prosecution if they can't conclusively prove that the deer were causing damage. Personally, I think rifles are more humane and there are many who agree with me. Going to check the camera shortly to see if it's spotted anything...
-
I'm hoping to find out soon but haven't got it back yet
-
It's not something I'd like to condone and the BDS, for example, is against the practice. Plenty of rifle shooters around that can do the job, humanely, for free
-
It did with the last one
-
I'd rather shoot them with my .223
-
Wish I were closer! Put a post on Woodalert (Facebook)
-
Hope it is muntjac... haven't had a chance to check the camera yet...
-
Interesting. Anything I can look for to definitively prove the culprit? I have seen a roe deer in that area so definitely a suspect...
-
They're tiny little trees, less than 1cm diameter, wouldn't the roe choose one of the bigger ones nearby? I'm thinking it might be rabbits now but I have a trailcam set up to hopefully catch one in the act
-
A little birch and a willow had been stripped of bark up to about a foot from the ground, causing them to die. Is this likely to be rabbits or deer?
-
My alder, planted last year, are mostly doing pretty well but as a result, they have large crowns, big leaves on quite small stems. One of them had been blown by the wind so much that the tube had kinked: I had to take the tube off but the stem was so bendy the tree couldn't support itself. I've staked it up the best I can but shouldn't it be strong enough to support it's own weight by now?

Overgrown coppice. What to do?
spandit replied to Sharpy92's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Don't spray chemicals, please... The weeds will die down in the winter and if the coppice is well established I'd have thought they won't be too bothered by the competition. -
I'd hazard a guess at a camellia of some sort. Member of the tea family
