  5. How long do the batteries run for ? & Perfect for zoological gardens! 😀
  6. Balsam is very easy to remove and bonus is the viable seedbank doesn't last very long Only problem is not good is its seeding from next door etc
  7. Why not just cut down then mow over it as part of the lawn with no digging spraying if its in the middle of a lawn? Or does that not work on bamboo? My thinking it would eventually die after a few yrs etc but ive never tried it. As bamboo is a grass maybe mowing is not effective as all grass species have basal growth from Intercalary Meristem? From my experience of mowing a nettles patch repeatedly it does kill them 100% with no hassle all - thought the dormant seedbank may last in soil for a few yrs...longer.
  8. Oval is stronger maybe Like airplane windows and port holes The jap axes are never wedged inline with blade orientation as it can break the weak point in the eye See the adze pic as well wedges are same way
  9. Ive made a few rustic shave horses same basic design as in this pic.. Didn't have any plans I just copied from seeing others and from pictures. The seat in this deign needs to be chunky - enough to take the middle wooden spindle (i used hazel rods for all dowls ans the legs ) - and make sure back legs splay out enough for stability. Other measurements I sized to suit me such as the legs height from the ground and seat total length.
  10. The japanese have an odd way of wedging there axes im not sure whatt the thinking is maybe having the wedge left sticking out means you can wack it in more if it comes loose??

But if going down the HS path dont chainsaws also need chain breaks? I can see why they added a guard as that top hand rest is exposed close to the chain, but its no good if you cant do undercuts... Take care if one handing etc. .
  13. Maybe it needs a pollination group partner as why no apples yet?
  14. I thought juglone only affected certain plants like tomatoes..... Looking at wikipedia the info seems abit unclear on how much it does effect various plants.... Of the walnuts at a properties ive done work at with many different plants species underneath one was in a large flower border for example and ive not seen any noticable ill effects.
