  1. I found swedes easy to grow and prefer them to turnips. Swede mash is nice with spud mash.
  2. I don't see the point as its gonna be a hassle to fill them all as 26t gonna be alot of bags? Why not use the 1m3 size bags? Or is idea you have a sack trolly and bring each bag into the house to use ? Also if you pack/stck the barrow bags to hold more logs rather the loose fill will season alot slower- (maybe this is obivous)? As for seasoning the bags up on pallets with space between each would be best to maximize airflow if you can get enough pallets etc and maybe some cover to keep the the rain over the tops Basicaly the ideal is as little water on the logs as possible but the greatest wind and sun exposure. I don't think selling any is worth it unless you have acess to free wood or are doing is on a larger scale with all the equipment.
  3. I think it died Scrape the trunk see if there any green under the bark?
  4. I wouldn't bother as it just seems a place to retain water longer and dirt, making it harder to clean etc.... Also non grooved decks looks alot more classy & expensive & bespoke. Grooving while it might help abit with regards to grip doesn't seem to do that much as they are still like an ice rink if they get green. Local council have miles of B&Q type board walks. They have all have had "sand paper" anti slip treads retro fitted. Some boards have broken in under 5 yrs from new but maybe cedar would last alot longer the cheapo stuff? Personally I don't think decking is that well suited to the UK climate especially the Welsh one, unless you don't mind doing a pressure wash & re- oiling regular. But the climate here means it wants to revert to a "celtic rainforest" everthing goes green very fast. SE UK is abit different. Maybe sho shugi ban is the answer?
  5. Id cut them but not all at once do 1 next winter then wait maybe a few seasons then the other 1. Atm stem doesn't look girdled but as girth increases......yeah probably will be etc....
  6. 40 mins isn't local? I kind of thought under 1hr is "local".
  7. Depends on budget & intended usage.
  8. They will be fine if you do nothing as tops look over all pretty healthy but it might be best to get rid of them & replant with something else, as they will never look pretty. The brown bits will always be brown as thoose conifer species don't sprout from old wood. Other option is maybe plant something else to hide the brown bits & do add a load of organic matter mulch wood chip compost etc if you do decide plant something as dry shade is difficult a enviroment. Ruscus aculeatus maybe as it seem to grown anywhere
  9. Scarify & reseed?
  10. Uni in Lima must have a forestry department? Might have some experts?

  15. No extinction? OK so maybe not total but half by 2100 doesn't sound too good? Holocene extinction - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG In The Future of Life (2002), Edward Osborne Wilson of Harvard calculated that, if the current rate of human disruption of the biosphere continues, one-half of Earth's higher lifeforms will be extinct by 2100. A 1998 poll conducted by the American Museum of Natural History found that 70% of biologists acknowledge an ongoing anthropogenic extinction event. The 2019 Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, published by the United Nations' Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES), posits that out of around eight million species of plants and animals, roughly one million species face extinction within decades as the result of human actions.[39][74][75][76] Organized human existence is jeopardized by increasingly rapid destruction of the systems that support life on Earth, according to the report, the result of one of the most comprehensive studies of the health of the planet ever conducted.[77] Moreover, the 2021 Economics of Biodiversity review, published by the UK government, asserts that "biodiversity is declining faster than at any time in human history."[78][79] According to a 2022 study published in Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, a survey of more than 3,000 experts says that the extent of the mass extinction might be greater than previously thought, and estimates that roughly 30% of species "have been globally threatened or driven extinct since the year 1500."[80][81] In a 2022 report, IPBES listed unsustainable fishing, hunting, and logging as being some of the primary drivers of the global extinction crisis.[82] A 2022 study published in Science Advances suggests that if global warming reaches 2.7 °C (4.9 °F) or 4.4 °C (7.9 °F) by 2100, then 13% and 27% of terrestrial vertebrate species will go extinct by then, largely due to climate change (62%), with anthropogenic land conversion and co-extinctions accounting for the rest.[83][21][84] A 2023 study published in PLOS One shows that around two million species are threatened with extinction, double the estimate put forward in the 2019 IPBES report.[85] According to a 2023 study published in PNAS, at least 73 genera of animals have gone extinct since 1500. If humans had never existed, the study estimates it would have taken 18,000 years for the same genera to have disappeared naturally, leading the authors to conclude that "the current generic extinction rates are 35 times higher than expected background rates prevailing in the last million years under the absence of human impacts" and that human civilization is causing the "rapid mutilation of the tree of life."[
