  1. They can also make good Fruit cages if you like berries
  2. I like the idea of this mini one thats truck mounted 🙂 https://video.aliexpress-media.com/play/u/ae_sg_item/4207224700/p/1/e/6/t/10301/5000134296633.mp4?from=firefox Having a herd goats/sheep about to recycle the suitable species of clippings also that would be the extra eco icing on the cake. Kommune should specify only plant goat friendly species!
  3. A suppose being 4 stoke a genny is less polluting than a 2 stroke and it might it also burn less fuel overall to do the same job...? TP have made a electric chipper says its can run 5hrs looks very slow though
  4. 60mm - is there a zero missing?
  5. EDIT oh its Fake news reality has got so mad now reality is stranger than fiction etc
  6. Spear & Jackson Ltd. : Catalogue of Saws and Tools : No. T3 : Spear & Jackson Ltd. : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive ARCHIVE.ORG 110 p., illus., 22.4 cm, trade catalog Here?
  7. Just 2 different variations - both called pollarding? Might it not still have a decent chance of growing back but it was probably lapsed for too long...? To attempt to get it such a lapsed pollard back into a pollard cycle im think its best done as a staged reduction until you get some new epicormic growth.
  8. Must be a very wide load looks a good space First tree on the left/wind turbine side has already being pruned back before in the past and could be again to the same points without issues reckon.
  9. I have 3 of theese as water butts they were going cheap many yrs ago at £50 each! https://shop.smithsofthedean.co.uk/recycled-1520-litre--330-gallon-water-tank-751-p.asp
  10. Yeah even all the cheapo brands of of the corded chainsaws are say a 2000w 240v motor. So most cordless saws won't cut anywhere near the same speed & not a chance with the budget ones...unless its on very small diameter stuff im guessing. The top of the range cordless stihl MSA300 is 2500w & 36v for comparison. So which one would win at a race cutting cookies im unsure.....?.
  11. Cordless will be a big downgrade from corded in cutting performance.
  12. Not wisteria could well be lilac. Mums know best!
  13. Ive got a handy hollow tree i chuck any dead chickens into.Saves digging a hole or whatever.
  14. Id just trim the tips & any crossing branches now at the height that suits you (Depends on how tall your ladder is for harvesting?) the remaining tree structure will thicken up after a few yrs. Propping up branches with "hazel cloth line props" etc is what I do or you could also consider thinning out the fruit.
  15. Loads of plantations about with the stuff it likes im wondering how realistic it is the above recommendations being enforced and effectively used across the whole area to control it. Could end up like in Germany/europe for the UK....fairly fast it seems? The climate /droughts etc seem critical Fighting a losing battle WWW.FORESTRYJOURNAL.CO.UK The European spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus) has had a devastating impact on the forests of Germany. Rising...
  16. Insider trading ? reuters.com WWW.REUTERS.COM The art of the deal!
  17. Theres some hippy shit going spare in barrels 🙂 Couple who ran Swedish eco-resort say 158 barrels of human waste left behind was ‘very normal’ | Sweden | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Flemming Hansen and Mette Helbæk reject criticism of how they abandoned resort and fled to Guatemala
  18. A digger with cone/screw spitter would mash it up into bits.... Easier plus cheaper just to bury it though.
  19. The Broligarchy are also down , only Buffet saw it coming Bloomberg - Are you a robot? WWW.BLOOMBERG.COM
  20. The gov info mentions stacked wood piles Eight-toothed spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus) - GOV.UK WWW.GOV.UK Information about the eight-toothed spruce bark beetle, including how to report sightings. and that wood under 8cm diameter isnt a problem is mentioned here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/63e3b965d3bf7f17300052c0/Ips_typographus_infographic_FINAL.pdf
  21. Bid odd to plant trees that can potentially grow over 100ft that close to a house anyway.....? The Foilage is s likely become ugly & bare on the house side due to no light from that side & look at how the two better ones have started too lean out away from the wall for the light already....will cause issues in future... Id suggest get rid of the brown one and also consider planting something else more sensible, shrubs ot climbers up the wall perhaps... When one particular species dies in a location its often wise not to replant the same again as its likely the site did not suit the plant.
  22. How about a Muck truck? Whats gonna be planted?
  23. Good vid kind of reassuring, I suppose im abit paranoid. Another issue is I found modern treated wood seems less durable versus untreated larch or oak etc in the ground. New treated fence posts can last less than 5yrs....
  24. I bought this but never have got round to used it yet just used a file free hand Veritas Jointer & Edger | Axminster Tools WWW.AXMINSTERTOOLS.COM Serving the dual purposes of topping off the teeth of a hand saw prior to re-sharpening, and providing an accurate guide... Ive done this several times seems to work ok.
