  1. Burning/charring could be to prevents rot old traditional method. May have used pine tar also.
  2. Don't piles stick up out above water lvl you think the tops would rot off as any alder outside rots really fast? Maybe if seasoned for yrs inside than put outside its properties change?
  3. But for the price of one retort you could just get say get 5 kilns etc, and heard of retorts that wear out & distort etc after several yrs.... Retort is more efficient % yield and shorter burn time.... But as the main % of the job is the loading unloading and sorting of fines, bagging up, retort desn't help with any of that? So is the price & profit of on the product, worth the extra investment of a retort?
  4. Seem abit of a shame to chip thoose was it oak?
  5. BBC reality prog about winning a house in alaska on telly atm, is pretty terrible TV.... The house looks niced though.
  6. Turn up to prune mrs miggins apple tree with one of theese? ?
  7. Reading up on oak pollard seems stubs and or sap risers are traditional & shreds look like
  8. http://www.ancienttreeforum.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/A-study-of-practical-pollarding-techniques-in-northern.pdf Might be a good idea to create new pollards in woods with loads of deer.....
  9. Sensible would be just plant a smaller one. In a few years in will catch up. But if you have the eqiupment or £ to hire it tree spade etc I suppose why not.....
  10. Corona virus data (I remeber the fizzy pop ) Operations Dashboard for ArcGIS GISANDDATA.MAPS.ARCGIS.COM Graph showing an expontential growth curve?
  11. This guy was abit larger scale: Dumping 'made businessman millions' WWW.BBC.CO.UK A businessman who ran one of the biggest illegal waste dumps ever found in north Wales netted millions of pounds... Im sure similar is still happening all over on many farms but smaller scale
  12. Winching operations in forestry: tree takedown and vehicle debogging - Forest Research WWW.FORESTRESEARCH.GOV.UK Forest Research
  13. Anyone actually using a pulley as force multiplier and if so what pulley? FC booklet says sheave should be minimum X18 diameter size of cable. Most pulleys are alot smaller diameter So for this winch you would need a pulley to be over 200mm size take a 10-12mm rope and rated 3t or above. Does such a pully block exist?
  14. Seems the 460 is the one to go for if money allows. Also vibrations is actually less on the stats....
  15. School playing fields are often covered in rubbish especailly if local newsgent /corner shop nearby bins don't seem to help that much as people to lazy to walk 20m to a bin. Do a litter pick along the road outside the house which is a country lane miles from the nearest fast food place. Get KFC, chip shop stuff, red bull and other energy drinks, plastic wrappers, larger cans, loads of mineral water bottles, childrens pastic toys, black bin bags dumped full of rubbish, and ocassional other random items fly tipped like sofas toasters vaccum cleaners flat pack ikea etc.... Actually mended one of the dyson vaccums that I found hanging up in a tree, along another lane nearby. Even had live chickens fly tipped several times...
  16. Info on the website: So 460 is maybe best as same weight more power, but will probably get though a tank faster. I use a 360 alot and they are ok on bramble and smaller blackthorn and one tank lasts ages... Would be nice to try the 460 though see what the he extra kW does.

  17. Aren't geese traditional? Also thoose special sheeps who don't eat trees compared to other sheep (sounds like a myth?) Sheep in trees – Shropshire Sheep WWW.SHROPSHIRE-SHEEP.CO.UK Goats would wreck trees ?
  18. Chatting to someone said that alot of agri fencing contractors gone to work on it. I though they hadn't decided on how much of it they are actually building of it yet?
  19. Maybe fancy stoves need more maintinace and are more fussy about buring wet wood as it would clog them up.... UK people most burn wet wood and do not want to do any maintenace or learn how to use a fancy stove ? My theory anyway.
