Looks like two different trees between first & second picture? Not a sucker from rootstock is it?

Hmm sounds like sensible chap? ?

Maybe on the verge of reaching alot of potential limits to pop growth: Climate change Fossil fuel depletion Fosil water aquifer depletion Soil loss Eco system collapse - mass species extinction Also: Phosphate fertiliser 'crisis' threatens world food supply | Environment | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Use of essential rock phosphate has soared, but scientists fear it could run out within a few decades Hard to predict to timescales though.... U.N predictions for pop growth. Projections of population growth - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG Interesting that the mercator map projection shrinks africa were most of this growth will be so people don't realize how big its land area is.

Always wondered why I see so many apple trees looking similar to that in gardens. Often in gardens done by "grounds maintenance comapny" Done a few prunning jobs on apple trees and often told by the customer iv'e not done it right as it doesn't look more like the tree on watchdog as they now think thats how a tree shoud look. Some would prefer if you just did massacre the tree like that to "make it look tidy" Kind of put be off doing apple trees as customers often then says "but you haven't taken enought off". Try and explain about over prunning and water shoots & 1/3 rule etc and the eyes glaze over as there not interested. Also im no obviuosly not charging enough as done a whole orchards of dozens of trees in a day for less than half £300 If charged £300 a tree would be £3600 plus job.... Or even i'd try and charged 10% of that rate customer would never pay me £360 for prunning apples trees for a day.

How about jump cuts? Jump cuts | The BuzzBoard WWW.TREEBUZZ.COM What is the best way to get the cut end of a tree to, as it lays flat, "jump forward off the stump with the most distance"...

The second I think They do a backpack also ? https://cpc.farnell.com/makita/bl36120a/36v-battery-back-pack-built-in/dp/TL19594?mckv=sMsrSed6C_dc|pcrid|224680288544|kword||match||plid||slid||product|TL19594|pgrid|48556615353|ptaid|pla-371191364796|&CMP=KNC-GUK-CPC-SHOPPING&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI-4zk5tXO5AIVgrTtCh0gvAuVEAYYASABEgK81vD_BwE Seems abit pointless lugging a 6kg backpack around when swapping batterries over only takes a few seconds unles you want to look like a ghostbuster ?

Do watchdog they get all the cash handed over back off them somehow at the end? I only saw the start of program & not really watched watchdog before.

Electric motors offer better torque i think than similar sized petrol eqivalent Makita do 6ah battery so could have 12ah total but the 5ah ones arer alot cheaper than the 6ah. Im guessing from a try using a sthil battey trimmer: HLA85 (unsure of size of motor in this as not in spec?) the makita cordless version may be about as powerful as a 900w KM94 but not as powerful as the more powerful combi stihls engines in range. I have the short reach duh601z trimmer and its very good. Don't know about long term durability yet though compared to petrol.

I reckon leave it just do a better job next time You will appreciate why its best to do all the sides as much as possible (without cutting into bare wood) when you come across a previously topped a 5m wide hedge with a hollow bit in middle of dead sticks where it hasn't regrown Thats how they seem often too end up ? By cutting alot of the top but not sides this is kind of what you may have created. In an ideal world leylandi woulds be trimmed regular or not at all or not planted in first place as other hegding can grown from dead wood

Good choice on the 4300 I paid more for mine as price used to be higher. Theres being a thread about the same saw (dolmar version) before: I got it witth a tin box

Why not tidy up the sides abit? Don't think any self respecting Mrs miggins would be happy witht the current shape....

All the larch trees in the Gwydir forest now have it. What do you reckon will they be replanting with as they must be a huge area being felled though the larch were mostly intermixed with other conifers I think.....

Have used a hla85 & they are good but don't think it would like thicker diameter branches that some more heavy duty petrol ones manage. Suppose ideally need two trimmers a battery one for majority of stuff then a petrol one for more overgrown hegdes blackthorn hawrthorn etc that haven't being cut for a few yrs.Then you don't knacker the battery one trying to cut oversized stuff etc. Same as chainsaws different ones best for different jobs.. They should state max tooth gap or branch cutting diameter, some do & it varies quite alot....

Flock or plastic?

Biomass willow is a different sub species that basket willows may not be the ideal stuff for weaving withies if that what you mean by furniture? Willow cultivation - Wikpol.net WWW.WIKPOL.NET all about willow cultivation in Poland Think most volume of willow furniture & baskets etc comes from Poland nowadays apart from small scale & Somerset lvls. The industry declined drastically since advent of plastics,,,,, Maybe in for a revival though since plastic getting a bad name recently?

Makita EN4950H: Vibration: Right Handle (Rear grip) 8.9 m/sec² Vibration: Left Handle (Front grip) 6.3 m/sec² Isn't that high for a new machine compared to the others? Wonder if the extra cost of the husky or others etc is partly due paying for better anti vibration? Husqvarna 325HE4 Equivalent vibration level (ahv, eq) front / rear handle 5.4/2.4 m/s² Always thought the italian active stuff looks well made & they also make the most powerful strimmer in production and made in italy not China. Home | Active s.r.l. WWW.ACTIVE-SRL.COM Never seen any being used though... 8 different combi engines sizes ranging up to 3.0kw So you could have a beast of a hedge trimmer...

Old inner tubes?

Dunni all thoose sheets etc might be pointless for a fungal pathogens that has tiny airborne spores? & spraying fungicide on verge? What is it are thay trying to stop the spread of anyway?

Was out in the woods yesterday, lost my makita chainsaw after I put it down for awhile as colour doesn't jump out at you like orange from a distance especially in dense shade. ?
