    Looks good but shouldn't outdoor deck boards have gaps to drain water just as it might then dry and last longer? Suppose might not looks as nice with gaps....

    Fancy a try of this new rotary engine machine....^ Im not convinced sharpening mower blades is that critical as didn't notice a new blade making a huge difference to the cut. Must get round to doing the strimmer ones. Have the smaller ( in thickness and sized) 2 tooth oregon mulch blade. The bigger ones are alot heavier. Maybe the 3 tooth ones are kinder to the machines than 2 tooth? How do you balance blades when sharpening any fancy jig etc? Seen some expensive looking wall mounted thing for it....

    So a similar scheme until 1960's seem to have increased houses being built. But this time round they are saying a new version would reduce the new houses built.

    Some of that wood looks abit rotten i reckon esp this one: It would be annoying to be paying for half rotten logs as they have lost some of the firewoods calorific value. Wouldn't worry about what beetle lives in them as it won't harm live trees.

    Ladys smock / cuckoo flower seems a fairly common flower in pastures. See alot of if about My mini "meadow" or wilderness that has zero proper meadow managament (as not being cut for yrs) is mostly meadow sweet common knapweed oxeye daisy & Wild Angelica and now the odd self seeding oak saplings. Used to be used for sheep and hay. Think its hard to turn improved grassland back in to meadow fast as takes a few yrs to lower fertility etc. Saw/read about someone going to the hassle of stripping turfs to make a meadow and thus removing top soil to reduce fertility. Where i have not mowed in the garden lawn as there was daffs growing is all full of red campion & cow parsley atm. The wild look its on trend at chelsea flower show 😏

    Neigbour has being mulch mowing 5 acres of paddocks (least twice a week at this time of yr) for decades with a tractor - its like a golf course green. Hes decided to let the next door farmer use it for hay this year. Think some people must enjoy mowing alot.

    Just had a swarm of honey bees airbourne in the garden. Pretty impressive sight never seen anything like it before Seemed about a 30m2 area of dense flying very noisy bees didn't fancy walking right into the middle denser parts of it. Now they all have buzzed off somewhere

    Whitebeam

    Yeah that can happen theres knack to it not happening - using the dawgs and blipping the throttle in a certain way etc. Ive found it only normally sometimes an issue with smaller diameter logs under 4inch. A narrow kerf chain and rakers not to agressive makes a less grabby chain & makes a big difference. Or just stick a bigger log on top of all the smaller ones.
  19. Stere
    Don't think you'll get much for that .

    White flys exoskeletons i reckon

    That Timbercroc looks cool but I find the traditional type better to use as chucking a single or normally multiple logs on top is for me alot faster than being limited to clamping each log one at a time. Or if lots of wood and it doesn't need to be mobile just stick two rows of posts in the ground or make some frame like this: Oregon do a smaller mobile version of this design that looks ok ....though not keen on it being metal

    Bit far north for chesnut coppice poles unless you can go pick some up or find someone local that stocks it. Could try theese guys looks like the have chesnut poles?

    I dont like the above design at all having tried one. I made a simple folding wooden one from USA type pallets: Which is loads better, its a bit like this one below Ditch the thing in pic would be my advice and get or make a decent one instead. AI bot?

    Mog the thick persons idea of a clever person, the torys attempt at gerrymandering seems like it backfired which he admits in this article: 🙂 Local elections 2023: Voter ID backfired on Tories, says Rees-Mogg WWW.BBC.CO.UK The ex-minister suggests his party brought in the controversial measure to boost their election chances.
