  1. No fencing panel that can be removed access from neigbouring garden etc?
  2. I use a brushcutter with a mulch blade then hedging shears closer in to the tree Also mark tree locations with bamboo canes etc.
  3. Looks like its function is that of bar studs and the saw comes with holes rather than studs for that thing to fit ? So if you loose or break the it you are buggered .unless you can source another one?
  4. Mulberry? Tree looks older than the houses?
  5. I thought it was "the law" & was just that the older ones had not being replaced yet, & any new ones had to be welsh on top? The Welsh Language Standards (No. 5) Regulations 2016 WWW.LEGISLATION.GOV.UK The Welsh Language (Wales) Measure 2011 (nawm 1) (“the 2011 Measure”) makes provision for the specification of...

    Strikes

    Maybe the others cant afford to loose a days pay & strike or aren't in a union. Anyway googles says teachers assitants are striking... Inflation is 11% & wages have being near stagnant for decades why should they accept a paycut?
  8. Chlorocardium rodiei - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG Don't think scotland has the right climate?
  9. Shortage of UK foresters prompts government to offer free courses | Trees and forests | The Guardian WWW.THEGUARDIAN.COM Ministers hope training in range of forestry skills will help to meet tree-planting and other climate goals
  10. Is says free UK shipping but yeah brexit is a pita
  11. Why use sand are popular fussy about drainage? I don't think they are?
  12. Chainsaw Makita EA3600F40B 35,2 cm³ EMMETISTORE.COM Chainsaw Makita EA3600F40B 35,2 cm³ It has an easy and fast start with the Easy Start. Chain brake for an instant chain... The ea3600 model has less vibes less weight than the ea3500 & is not that to much more pricey. Im kind of tempted to get one while there still available.... Not sure all the build differences with regards to quality between the ea3500 ans ea600 but you can compare the spec on the makita USA site GAS CHAIN SAWS | MAKITA WWW.MAKITATOOLS.COM Makita USA: The Leader In Cordless with 18V LXT Lithium-Ion. The best in class for cordless power tool technology. A leader... Reading the yank forums ea3600 seems well regarded.... I got a mak ea4300 from germany as was cheaper a few yrs back so ordering from italy should be ok?
  13. Being uncomfortable may increase the chance of accidents happening
  14. Cadaver dogs can be trained to find bodies underwater.
  15. Could do with some thorn protection over sleeves knackered my jacket sleeves up on brambles.
  16. E85 from bioethanol and not taxed https://fr-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/E85_(carburant)?_x_tr_sl=fr&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc
  17. Sounds impossible think its just a popular hybrid thats seems aimed at biomass and agroforestry not anything to do with willow? Populus × interamericana https://nl-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Zwarte_balsemhybride?_x_tr_sl=nl&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc EDIT see page 29 for some info on Beaupre there are also some pictures https://cdn.forestresearch.gov.uk/1990/03/fcbu092.pdf
  18. Maybe they don't like italians
  19. Not much movement on the front lines recently supposedly gonna be a new russian offensives planned to mark the the 1yr since the start.
  20. msa300 is abit of a novelty i reckon Alot heavier than the ms261 and you will get through batteries fast if you cut much of the bigger stuff that the saw is designed for so you will need a few. So a big investment for something that in many ways in less all round useful than the ms261. I'd say better getting the ms261 & if you want a stihl battery one get the msa220 in addition .
  21. If you don't already have some decent suitable tools and do decide to keep them pruned yourself , I recommend you consider getting some decent quality secateurs a pruning saw and some bypass loppers then you will have all the tools you need to maintain them. Theese are good quality brands Okatsune secateurs silky or samurai saws bacho loppers Trees look low enough now that no ladders needed..
  22. Processing timber as in repeated crosscutting decent diameter logs etc is probably what battery saws are least suited for.
  23. Ms241 550xp CS-4310SX There are smaller pro saws from echo and stihl (like the the toppers but with rear handles) but id say not suited to firewood imo unless its alot of small diameter coppice. EDIT forgot about the husky 545 but seems abit pointless imo as same price virtually as a 550xp
  24. I found one on ebay as I fancied one a while back. I never bought it in the end as spray paint does the same job...... Its not stihl but looks near the same....
