  1. @nepia Iv'e seem the same leave/tree in a garden somewhere im sure
  2. How many trees are growing in UK atm approx?
  3. Actually a piece of journalism in the daily mail that is not terribly written. Likely will end up as greenwash though as the goverment aren't big on enviroment. What would 3 billion trees be as an % increase in current numbers of UK trees?
  4. Facts: never let then get in the way of having crazy opinions on things ?
  5. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shungite Google results: It is also sold as a " crystal healing" stone: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&ei=GaDnXKq8BOCH1fAPhfidqAs&q=shungite+crystals&oq=shungite+crystals&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0i7i30j0l2j0i7i30l3j0l4.3564.3564..3725...0.0..0.78.78.1......0....1..gws-wiz.......0i71.IHxB-sUIXPs Hippys ?
  6. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-48377927 Some acient woodcraft skills.
  7. One of theese oak species: https://www.thoughtco.com/common-oaks-north-america-4174951
  8. Leaves wrong shape for elm maybe a maple or oak?
  9. Leave & bark doesn't look like ash, also its the USA.....
  10. Seen a hornbeam hedge new leaves were all shredded up after storm Hannah then later turned brown.
  11. Sugi nose sprocket only lasted 2 weeks? ?
  12. A decent picture of a leaf/branch would help with id trees, they do look half dead.
  13. Which ever one has the part you want in stock & is cheap. But check the shop doesn't have terrible feeback reviews first.
  14. 120 euro Bit steep for a pair or work kecks... I use the £10 aldi ones they are abit heavywieght material in warm weather though.
  15. This? https://www.gardenmachinerydirect.co.uk/accessories-attachments/stihl-tillers-kw-mm-sweeper.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI5q29k_On4gIVYbHtCh0hsADLEAQYASABEgLZAfD_BwE
  16. Alot of the roadside trees iv'e noticed are definetely 100% dead not just late as all of the smaller branches & twigs have fallen off. ?
  17. BTCV handbook for dry stone walling has pics of either gap in wall wooden rails or adapt wall round tree as tree grows. Like the archway idea.
  18. How about that ariens razor? I have a cheapish mountfield with a honda 160c engine doesn't like wet or very thick grass though, but very fuel efficient compared to the older mowers, also self drive is very weak & it blocks easily.

    Plently of black birds around seems less swallows though. Also I think just less birds around generally. Alot of once "common" birds have being decreasing for yrs.

    SLUGS

    25C won't stop them polytunnel gets to 40C still has slugs in it Go down at night and kill them.
  21. Cyanide Didn't get much regrowth from hand clearing, when I volunteered doing it, probaly less than 5% of area total. There seemed to be 2 distinct growth habits: the low 2-4ft stuff that formed dense "mats", then the large bushes/small tree stuff some was well over 20ft ,which was alot easier to get rid of than the mats as fewer large, spaced out stumps to uproot, instead of loads of smaller dense ones. Using a mattocks and a silky saws/bowsaws, job would of being alot faster and easier with mini digger and chainsaws.
  22. Why can't the spoil go back in the holes they dug it out of instead of behind dams? Probably it will cost alot more but surely a better system is possible if the regulations were in place?
  23. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robinia_pseudoacacia https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/42928754.pdf Sounds like a good wood to grow, classed as invasive so must grow well ? https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=2ahUKEwiWhrPo7f7hAhWwSBUIHdtHDy0QFjAAegQIAhAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nonnativespecies.org%2FdownloadDocument.cfm%3Fid%3D1385&usg=AOvVaw3zov97iFbMZINsZjD685DU Probably have to wait till next year for bare root.... https://www.hedging.co.uk/acatalog/product_10284.html
  24. White mulberry
  25. For firewood I uses a makita lecky corded saw, a cable is a slight hassle but no fumes saves petrol, build quality is good its lasted yrs. Its cuts loads faster than say a MS181 as 2kW but obviously no where near a 550xp
