What plum tree has purple leaves? ?
-
Good point about gas being unsustainable but wood is also if you think of the fossil fuels used in harvesting transport etc, & the lack of tree planting in UK & large biomass demand means there is going to be wood shortages. Agree with point 2 & 3 also. Its a hard thing to regulate right but some kind of regulation is comming to try & improve air quality. I suppose the real sensible regulation would be a massive national project & subsidies to retrofit buildings with insulation (preferable eco & recycleable insulation) , & make all new buildings above passive house standard.

Reason: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/feb/01/pollutionwatch-wood-burning-worsening-uk-air-quality If on mains gas for the majority of people why do you need to burn wood apart from the stove look pretty or be trendy. Peoples health shouldn't be damages so someone can have a fire as a fashion Lifestyle Accessory

Have your seen theese: wood stove catalytic converter http://www.woodstovecombustors.com/How_They_Work.html Seem to be a thing in the USA but not UK
-
I think they should be banned/restricted in cities if the house is on a mains gas supply.

Maybe same for UK next?

Worst thing iv'e used for vibes is karcher pressure washers. That Kawasaki Petrol looks good 2.0kw @ 6kg http://store.cobragarden.co.uk/brushcutters/cobra-bc530k-petrol-powered-53cc-bike-handle-brushcutter.html alot ligther than stihl of same power? 6kg seems really light I dontt like the FS 460 much as so heavy to use doinh a full day strimming

See leylandi like the everywhere seems standard practice to hack em back like that.

Anyone tried the new MM4 makitas? 4 strokes seem heavier for less power.... I have a old 2 stroke makita rbc3101 & its the best strimmer iv'e used prefer it compared to similar sized hondas & stihl iv'e also used. Will go though smaller diameter brambles with the bump head line but not old growth or blackthorn or gorse.

I hate thoose franchise companies that do this they charge the homeownwe £50 a month etc for less than 10 minutes work spraying the lawn. I like moss & daisys in lawns rather than monoculture unnatural looking grass.

Sounds wrong to prune so severe twice, Over prunning equals mass of water shoots very common

I did that for the first months after the course as its what they taught to pass the assessment. They would probably class it as a bad habit not doing that anymore?
