Bit paranoid about the idea of wearing cloths impregnated with insecticides. Suppose a dose of chemicals that kill ticks is less bad than getting lymes disease though Weirdly it kills/f88ks up cats ..... https://www.google.co.uk/search?ei=aSyGXP-IIIKX1fAP3JKJoAg&q=permethrin+cats&oq=permethrin+cats&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0l2j0i22i30l8.30018.31118..31461...0.0..0.68.238.4......0....1..gws-wiz.......0i71j0i67.zrlBhF5cwIQ

This seems a bargin atm, alot or saw for the price if you want to cut though logs fast https://www.radmoretucker.co.uk/shop/garden-machinery/chainsaws-tree-care/petrol-chainsaws/makita-ea7900p45e-petrol-chainsaw-18/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI4cPQ-pX24AIVb7HtCh3urQN6EAQYASABEgI1U_D_BwE Not tried one but there s being several threads on them:

You could try: http://www.dolmarpowerproducts.com/productcatalog/chain_saws_gasoline/ps-421/index.html Dolmar 421 same class as the 241 (40cc) Comes as the Makita ea4300 in the UK Compared to a 181 flies through wood. Won't be as fast as 550xp or 261 though especially on larger diamter stuff. For firewood crosscutting I use an electric corded makita 2kw on most stuff apart the large diameter hardwood Makita electric corded cuts alot faster than a 181 Also pine is fine in stove as long as seasoned

Getting ready for ash die back.
Stere replied to andy cobb's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Will you fell a load of them before wood becomes worthless or leave as standing deadwood etc? Any restrictions of removing timber from site? (Would seen pointless as its already spread everywhere) -

In the news again: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-47483197 Wonder what the experts will decide? -
Not read it but this book supposedly lays out what the future will be like due to climate change: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2019/feb/27/the-uninhabitable-earth-review-david-wallace-wells Of course the flat earthers will say its all bunkum

Well I passed. Little saw did ok apart from one 3ft diamter beech tree where it was taking ages to trim butresses (against the grain) so used instructors 362 saw... Windblown next hopefully. Any books worth getting for abit extra infos about felling etc to expand on the LANTRA course book?

How old/young does the tree ideally need to be if I want to make a new pollard? If tree is two old won't lopping larger branches off it create rot, suppose its species dependent also. Iv'e seen acient unmanaged pollards (though rare locally) in countryside & street tree pollards, but zero younger ones so was thinking of trying to create a few new ones along a field boundary as supposedly they increase the lifespan of trees & I think it would be interesting etc. Just being reading Roger Deakin Wildwood had abit about pollarding used to be a common method for firewood & animal forage. Rember seeing telly program about the tradition in it in spain they were still climibinng up & using axes for pollarding...

Purchasing 25 acre oak stand in France
Stere replied to JonnoR's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Any pictures or infos of oak stools regrowth? Iv'e read that they can be coppiced but never seen any done, or any oak coppice stools, although the acient oaks all are supposedely pollarded/or coppiced trees which allows them too reach an older age than a un-pollarded tree. -
Makitas are decent saws.

Purchasing 25 acre oak stand in France
Stere replied to JonnoR's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Oak is often pollarded I think not sure about coppicing oak. Anyway the deer would eat the regrowth. Terraces suggest area most likely being a chesnut orchard historically. https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=SB3zQAK_GGIC&pg=PA215&lpg=PA215&dq=chestnut+orchard+terraCES+FRANCE&source=bl&ots=0jLx76OK7T&sig=ACfU3U3BVpPjbFs_5koMiyf_buSDpTCNIA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiH542k67_gAhWwURUIHSnhCYgQ6AEwDXoECAgQAQ#v=onepage&q=chestnut orchard terraCES FRANCE&f=false -
Bamboo can be either a clumping type no that invasive, or higly invasive type that sends sucker out several metres depending on variety. Why not holy, yew, beech or hormbeam native & all year round screens?

Looks really professional What tools did you use for the larger pleacher cuts, chainsaw axe or billhook etc? Iv'e done a LANTRA course but hedge we did never looked as good as any pics on here. We never trimmed the hedge a tidy shape along the top & sides after laying it. Do you use a petrol hedge trimmer?
