Yeah I grease mine just the same as i would a petrol one.

Wool is high in nutrients The use of wool in compost and other alternative applications BUSINESSWALES.GOV.WALES 23 July 2020 Expensive "wool compost" high price its being flogged for: Dalefoot Wool Compost For Potting 30L MARSHALLSGARDEN.COM A wonderful 100% peat free potting compost, made from renewable resources the perfect growing aid for containers...

Weed supression more important than any temporary N robbing imo. so id say fresh and if possible use layers of cardboard under also. From my experience even if you use tonnes of fresh woodchip it disapears really fast. Ideal would be using something that lasts a few yrs more but is still biodegradable like felted wool or hemp sack cloth but thoose cost more.

A Larger box would favour the rounds taking less space as less large edge gaps

Chainsaw chaps are terrible ungainly clumsy things to wear imo. Trousers are far superior and less faff.

They would be better off in ireland its wealthier than the UK now.

Shame you don't live near the guy in the Help in return for firewood. thread asking to do jobs like this "free" in exchange for some % of the logs.

Blades can't be recycled apparently due to the composite material they all go to landfill.

Saw some looked about 5ft for £50 each at a garden centre.

Get Daily Mails & telegraph papers from neigbours. The Telegraph paper seem to catch better than daily mail must be of a higher quality?

Magnolia? Bit of wild guess as hard to see detail in photo

Longer is better as takes less longer strokes & effort to cut the branch but it might not fit in the pocket as easy is the only downside. Breaking/ bending blades i reckon is only an issue if user is cack handed & tries to cut larger diameter stuff its not suited to tackling and gets the blade jammed etc

Max branch dia is listed as 23.5mm on that 40v makita i think Anyway the 18v does yr old blackthorn & pyracantha (dense woods) no problems which is enough for me Makita - Product Details - DUH602 18V LXT Brushless 600mm Hedge Trimmer WWW.MAKITA.CO.NZ Makita Power Tools. The preferred brand of power tool to the trade Two year growth plus blackthorns etc needs loppers/chainsaw etc

Not used thoose two models but since switching to 100% battery now for hegde cutting much prefer them. I think if investing in new tools for hedge cutting that battery is as good as the best petrol now? This is latest makita 40v battery tool looks like the eqivalent to the stihl petrol would be nice to here any reviews of it comparing them .....head to head? Much more impressed by my battery trimmer than the battery chainsaws with regards to being light and the battery run times being alot longer than the chainsaws and not seemly being underpowered with regards to power to weight ratios. Think hegde trimmers inherently suit batteries. I also have a makita battery strimmer rated 1kw but 2x18v 5ah batteries only lasts 15mins One 18v 5ah battery will last near 1 hour cutting hedges on the makita trimmer must be a fairly low KW motor but doesn't feel underpowered

Other options for 40cc are the very expensive new echo 4301 or the cheaper makita ea4300 Both are near the same as ms241 in power.

Anyone use this stuff - Optima Racing Two Stroke? EXOL HIGHEST QUALITY JASO FD FULLY SYNTHETIC PERFORMANCE TWO 2 STROKE OIL 5 LT WWW.EBAY.CO.UK Mobile Description Summary. £26 quid per 5 litres seems very cheap for a fully synth?

Think this is the traditional method without a propane torch:

Yakisugi (焼杉) is a traditional Japanese method of wood preservation. Yaki means to heat with fire, and sugi is cypress.[1][2] It is referred to in the West as burnt timber cladding and also known as shou sugi ban (焼杉板) which uses the same kanji characters but an incorrect pronunciation. The ban character means "plank". By slightly charring the surface of the wood without combusting the whole piece, the wood becomes water-proof through the carbonisation and is thus more durable.[3][4] It also protects against insects, as well as making the wood fire retardant.[5]

Im pretty careful theese days not to too often jump straight into blackthorn or brambles that destroy clothing tend to use a brushcutter to gain acess first maybe thats why this pair have survived well.

Beaver extreme ones Lasting me ages atm DYNAMIC trousers - With Design A / Class 1 protection and imrpoved sizing WWW.STIHL.CO.UK Work trousers with certified cut resistance to BS EN 381-5, Design A. Preformed, double reinforced knee areas. Trouser...

Think that may be something. All chains have considerable side to side lean action/chatter even new & esp as bars wear narrower drive links may keep em on the straight and narrow better?

Drive links would be very loose in the bar groove probably fly off the bar or something....?

No a very small "smallholder" atm no animals apart from some chickens used to have a few sheep goats etc. Can't see the land tax idea ever happening way to radical.

I agree but If there no SFP then it may not be worth farming most of "marginal land" Wales of Scotland anymore or would the market self correct and drive up food prices? Then George moiboit can rewild then lot ? Remember UK argri is competing against subsidized global imports. Just had George eustice come out and admit the aussie deal he did was shite for the UK. Not sure what the answer is.

So (NK .325 .050 v "regular" .325 .063) no difference in teeth width? but oregon says... Must mean v the 3/8 abit misleading
