    There are so many didfferent styles of blade cutters with different shapes out there seems hard to decide what is best design? https://www.oregonproducts.eu/site/6_flipbooks/2017/EN_EUR/GARDEN_2017_EN_EUR.pdf Has a bit of infos on page 29 of catalogue what oregon recommends for cutting different types of vegetation etc. Anyone tried theese different types? Thinking of trying the 8 tooth one as they recommend for coarse grass & I want to reduce plastic trimmer line use, though looks like it would be slow & less effective compared to the 3 tooth as less length of cutting blade?

    Stere replied to djbobbins's topic in The Lounge

    Digging up 10ys old oaks doesn't sound the best way to get new trees established as may damage roots and oaks are sensitive to tranplanting ? Are you using 2 spiral guards above one another? Any pictures?

    Elder has a very distinct smell some reckon bit like cats piss also wood is hollow with pith inside. Anyway look like it needs lopping but your suppose to ask the Elder Mother first: ? Elder Mother - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG Various farmers have told me over the yrs that they hate them growing in there hegdes as there basically seen as "evil" etc didn't really understand why as no explanation was given,. maybe its some vague folklore memory past down.... Thought it was pretty odd... One guy went round his land round chopping them all down... ?
  15. Stere
    Looks abit like a elder to me but surely thats too obvious & it would have berries? Leaves look slighty different than an elder maybe but the dead bit of wood @ rear & growth habit overall looks very elder-ish

    I have the same mountfield mower its lasting really well , THe hegde trimmer I got is one: (Price has gone up £30 since I got it?) got the the 60cm they do a 50cm & 70cm also DUH601Z - 18V Hedge Trimmer 60cm BL LXT WWW.MAKITAUK.COM Product Think its a newer improved model compared to the 36v double battery one and the cheaper 18v one.

    Thats pretty mild syptoms compared with alot of trees in North Wales, seem your are a year behind in the progression of it compared to here.

    So maybe they should of repointed the slipway slab joints with some Non-shrink cementitious grout for underwater installation conforming to the requirements of BS EN 1504-3 Class R4? https://www.arconsupplies.co.uk/uploads/pdfs/conbextra_uw_tds.pdf Instead of having trees sprouting between slabs... Also why does the slipway get narrower instead of wider or straight down on the side it failed? Shouldn't it be the other way round?
  20. Stere

    Gap in the market?

    Stere replied to Big J's topic in Arb-Trucks

    Even the mini is fat nowadays Isn't cars getting wide all to do with encap ratings and side impact airbags etc? Also they have to fit fat people which is the majority now... Also think abit about fashion also.

    Why planting alot of trees large enough to need stakes? I reckon smaller trees establish better and after a few yrs will catch up you could you then use bamboo... Durablity depends on if stakes are hardwood or softwood I suppose, some are robina that is suppose to last well...
  24. Stere
    What inceased maintenace could have prevented the slipway failure?
