  1. Do you have a list of what useful species of trees they don't like to eat?
  2. We had a whole long avenue of dead elms kept my dad busy for yrs with his 08s.
  3. Muntjac & roe browsing are not very good if you want the trees to regenerate well.... Maybe it was an old coppice with with some standards from the one picture?
  4. Im pretty sure his MAGA lot with see it as a Trump win in the short term anyway...
  5. Tarrifs dropped for now anyway since both Mexico & Canada seem to have bent over for Trump & given in to his demands...a win for Trump? https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/02/03/mexico-tariff-retaliation-trump/ Im not sure that it will be very effective in stopping fentanyl, probably just be a waste of money.... Next, will China will back down in a similar fashion? I doubt it....
  6. On the subjest of taxes/VAT and tariffs how about the new UK free ports eco zones im wondering will they actually come to much? I don't think Holyhead Island for example is gonna transform into HongKong....but the hope seems to be they will attract some investments& jobs......
  7. Id cover the top as minimum if it was mine esp the popular which isn't very duarable but your location might be a factor to consider. Leylandi larch pine etc can last well outside, while other conifers esp spruce degrades alot faster 3000mm rain versus 600mm for example.....
  8. Umarell - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG Umarell (Italian spelling of the Bolognese Emilian word umarèl, Emilian pronunciation: [umaˈrɛːl]; plural umarî) are men of retirement age who spend their time watching construction sites, especially roadworks – stereotypically with hands clasped behind their back and offering unwanted advice to the workers.
  9. I have had a hendon 3 leg adjust one for a few yrs its being fine so far, im not sure what the difference compared to the henchman pro quality wise is. .... & yes 90% of the time there seems to be a slope.
  10. Yes that normally works well. I had a job i had awhile back where the 15ft walled garden had over a foot of soil formed on its top with the addition of a row of cotonaster growing there with the ivy in the loose rumble masonary infill. It was acting like a massive 100ft long raised planter..... So Ivy was growing down from the top plus up from the base of the wall
  11. Yes the dust is the worst part, esp if it hasn't rained for ages, should wear a mask really.... Anyone got recommendations for what type mask etc? A "Big mutt" can be useful. Roughneck Big Mutt | Toolstation WWW.TOOLSTATION.COM Ideal for heavy duty applications such as floor tile removal. 1370mm hardwood handle. 177mm blade width.
  12. Johhson was going on about lezzers before saying he doesn't like ladyboys or some such but the far right is tolerant of lesbians. Was an answer to that.... *Oh it was you but you post the same type of stuff....
  13. Trump suggests 'dwarves, amputees and epileptics' are 'DEI hires' and not qualified for Air Traffic Control positions - Irish Star WWW.IRISHSTAR.COM Donald Trump listed a number of physical and mental disabilities that supposedly made candidate unsuitable to...
  14. I was wondering about exactly the same thing ?! 🙂
  15. Im the same about the secateurs puts me off getting them Id be relaxed using them if on the end of a pole though as then its safely away from fingers
  16. Hard to offer much advice thats useful without pictures really I thought it might be mildew from the desrciption but its a guess Apple Powdery Mildew (Podosphaera leucotricha) | NIAB WWW.NIAB.COM Iv'e never noticed much serious problems with either aphids or mildew on apple trees didn't realize its such an issue....... Plenty of canker about for many yrs and the last few yrs have also noticed blossom wilt.... I agree not worth spraying
  17. They missed a few There was 100's of Hamas fighters in crisp looking ninja outfits at the hostage handovers. Not sure the peace will last long, as lot of the current goverment, where against it & no plans for whats next....
  18. I thought there was a bungalow.... *May of being many yrs back
  19. MAGA caps may as well have skulls on them The rightwing are obessed with ladyboys etc...... I think its a topic with 100's of others of more importance, though I can see it might be impotant if you are LGBT etc & as now they are gonna be very likely, increasingly persecuted. & then whos next..... First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me
  20. Woodlots seems to have gone defunct not many recent listings.
  21. Cabbage palm fronds Annoying tough stuff..
  22. Will be inteteresting how the DEI stuff goes ahead some some coporates might want the best cadidates who make them the most money not a white male bias. Google Search WWW.GOOGLE.COM Scrapping DEI will harm there profits. But also they might not want to annoy Trump...see how many have done a complete 360 on there views on him.
  23. Have a look here at what the 3 series huskies are selling for: Chainsaws – Logs and Saws LOGSANDSAWS.CO.UK So it might not be not a bad idea...
  24. This ones good on similar note - perfect sound track also
