  1. Looks good though & very tidy even if its not that flat. I suppose a flater angled stems is better for encouraging a dense sprouty bottom....?
  2. I Had the same fungi on my "wild" bullace tree before it eventually died after about 10yrs Bullaces are fairly common in North Wales in old gardens. People call the damsons often... Have many suckers from it left about as they popped up all over like blackthorn does.... Suckers from a planted damson cultivar are no good as it will be on a grafted root stock, but if its actually bullace could be the best option...to let some appear and grow up.... If its a damson rather than bullace id suggest plant a new tree now as a replacement and try somwwhere with decent drainage & if possible away from the existing one.

  7. Reminds me of the day of the triffids plotline. Annually the whole community walked the whole Isle of wight refuge to tackle any seedlings blown in. I read in the FC info that suposedly its seedbank only lasts less than 1 yrs sounds like thats not always right then....? https://cdn.forestresearch.gov.uk/1987/03/fcbu073.pdf
  8. Yes might get a better job candidate if advert said upfront what the job was? Rhoddy bashers wanted etc? I think its well worth doing but its a job that has to be 100% done or its a big waste of money. Rhoddy will be back if not 100%... So the devils in the details its a long term project and grant money often runs out after a few yrs, then in 50yrs -100yrs or whatever( nature operates on longer timescales ) unless a hillside is 100% clear your back to square one...

    Stihl MS 251

    1 stud seems something re- designed more shit on purpose to make then less good that the 2 stud norm- more likely to break..?
  10. What does the actual job involve anyway, is it just clearing the woodlands of invasives and non natives?? Hard to decipher the all the waffle....

One shortcoming of any discussion of strength by... Good explaination...
  12. Petzl vertex vent is a decent less pricey lid for climbing Not sure about the HSE regs with regards to visors or mesh dont think theres anything specific.... Get the chipper spec muffs Jonsered is a husky brand so its probably just a rebranded husky balance lid so same parts.....? Husqvarna UltraVision visor | Husqvarna UK WWW.HUSQVARNA.COM The light reduction of the visor is only 20% over the whole mesh area compared to the standard visor were the light reduction...
  13. Looks like they needed alot more goats The goats fighting fires in Los Angeles WWW.BBC.COM Grazing goats are becoming a common sight in Los Angeles – can they really prevent ever bigger, fiercer wildfires? Used to keep goats & they will strip everything completely bare up to a browse line which is about 7ft.
  14. I like an xmas pud or cake but prefer them without the brandy. Like one with royal icing.
  15. Its fun when/if the roots pop back upright into the hole.
  16. Yeah I thought its sounded like BS but as its on the official website, so thats probably where the idea started from? Would a mains corded saw be any difference to battery i don't think so?
  17. I heard someone say or read this before maybe is an urban myth? Here found some reference: Just a moment... WWW.STIHLUSA.COM

  22. Milwaukee cut cookies faster than the 40v makita..... Safety guards look abit annoying...but can see why they put ones on them given the one handing dangers
  23. Just cough up and get a 550xp . A new ms251 is hardly any cheaper than the 550xp MK2 so whats the point of anyone buying them just makes no sense to me at all? Battery saws are nice to have but the decent ones plus a few batteries are more expensive than a good 50cc saw and less useful allrounders. If you have the cash get the battery saw once to have the 50cc petrol as an additional second saw...
  24. Whats the wives orchard buisness gonna be sounds interesting....?
