Maybe ideal would be a camper /van sleep in tha back take your own provisions park on site, as mentioned 1 hrs travel from digs. Would be quite nice in the summer if you had a nice setup maybe less so in winter with less daylight

When were they planted? Stakes and the look of the trees suggest they were planted more recently rather than being there a few yrs growing? Looks like a wind swept site can see a "fell" top in background? Being windy maybe the lime is suffering from of the increase in transpiration rate from the wind esp as the roots may not have established yet versus the large top growth Better establisment to be had with smaller 1yrs old trees and consider planting a wind break of willow whips etc..... Hard to say if a drought though may also be a factor Normally if a drought grass wouldn't look so lush, but such upland places sometimes have a moss carpet than retains moisture...

Best place to buy whips, guards and stakes?
Stere commented on Woodlandsmassive's blog entry in Member Blogs
Cheviot trees are good ( cell grown I think are better than bare root cost isn't much more.... ) Main thing that seems important in establishment from what ive seen is the first summers weather and early vegetation/grass control/mulching etc as less competition over the first few yrs Im not sure how much bare root whips vary in quality from one another from different suppliers.... -
Does it have to be a stihl though im not sure which or if others are any better.......? Suppose it depends if you want to invest in that battery platform Husky or makita ones etc..... Seems husky have got some new models out recently but seem not any info about online reviewing them if they are any better than older ones etc...? 525iHE4

It will be fine no need to worry. -
Hi, I'm no gardener but I bought this pear tree last year, I was hoping this year we may get some fruit from it. The leaves are not looking too good and it has not flowered for any fruit. Can anyone help, tell me if or what I am doing wrong. Many thanks
Stere replied to Mojo220167's topic in Picture Forum
IS IT A SELF FERTILE PEAR TREE ? Im no pomologist but for the best crop you might need another in same pollination group.... For reference: https://www.rhs.org.uk/fruit/pears/choosing-cultivars As for yellow leaves maybe chuck some some compost /mulch /manure etc round the base (but dont volcano mulch) -
Same could be apply to anyones opinion? Yet they don't seem that humble on the UKIPer side for want of a better term.....more in my rabid opinion maybe..... (im my humble opinion) Like a Daily mail headline.....simplistic populism etc

Forestry employment issues
Stere replied to Acerforestry's topic in Forestry and Woodland management

I had a go with a customers the HLA86 one, I thought it was abit rubbish for a supposedly "pro" machine versus my makita cordless short reach. Lots slower and weaker didn't cut the chunky-ish diameter hornbeam well. (1yrs growth) Id avoid it but I only used it for less than 10mins then went back to using the makita from a ladder. maybe is ok for hedges cut more often not just once a year.... Maybe the HLA135 is better as looks like the top "pro" one? Not sure how they differ apart from bigger the number = better but whats are the actually build differences ?

Russian trenches are being made a way behind the current frontline so they must think they could get that far? https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GU6Kow7WwAAXacO?format=jpg&name=4096x4096

Big saws for big butts?

Its an older saw series quality is fine but with AV rubber not springs i think. The lastest echos are 40cc and the 70cc ones.
-
No one bothered or even mentioned about stickers when I did it, I used a makita ea4300, & carried a spare chain & bar also just in case I rocked it or got it pinched. Many were using/faffing about with the various assessors unreliable old junky ms181's or lf lucky maybe a ms211 etc with blunt chains, but not much fun with such crappy saws causing issues & stress, & distracting from the learning...

Id chop this bit off and leave the rest, also some mulch is always good

Just get a 550xp as best vfm I know they are slighlty over the £500 budget but best not quibble over a £100 quid and just get a decent one straight away imo. Husqvarna 550 XP Mark II Petrol Chainsaw (50.1cc) - Radmore & Tucker WWW.RADMORETUCKER.CO.UK Introducing the Husqvarna 550 XP Mark II Chainsaw: Unleash the Power of Precision When it comes to professional-grade... Not any other good choices really as to other brands anymore apart from husky or stihl 550xp are cheaper/better vfm new than stihl & and which is the best brand saw in the 50cc catergory is debatable.... For cs31 15" is ideal

The inherent colour of fuel is dependent upon the refining processes used to produce the blendstocks that go into making a petrol grade. The colour of the blendstocks can vary from Colourless to Yellow depending upon the refinery, the crude and the processes used to create each petrol blendstock.

I buried the sides, It gets 45c in there on a sunny day very rapidly with both door ends open so not always ideal considering say tomatoes optimum temp is 21-27°C. Think it depends on the size how hot it gets mines about 50ft long i think.. Also you need an irrigation system as high temps means - alot of water is needed

Cyslists are like trannys and shave there legs so must all be woke homos or beardy weirdy touring types with carradice bags and sandals. *Actually most modern cyclists are retired dentists or middle managers on £3000 pound bikes who are right wing politcally, which is odd as the rightwing lot hates cyclists. The working class "socialist" ones doing there local 10 miler TT and the old lefty touring ones don't exist much any more.
