Interesting link will check the references  thanks.

Winter washes  not heard that for a few yrs  is it still a thing in France?

See its still a thing/ product anyway didn't realize

Always thought it was  outdated like painting over wounds with tar ?

How about painting trunks of trees white?

Ideal would be concrete side panels on a pad with  say 6 bays and turn with  a front loader i suppose.

Atm mine are brick like this and use pitchfork & everything goes in but could be abit bigger & more bays and turning manually is a pita.

Bay size 6ft cube smaller ones don't work as well as normally corners seem to be last to compost also can't swing a pitchfork as well etc...

Small ones 2ft

Husky need to make a new 40cc one.

The old/new updated italian active  maruyama 60cc saws look interesting too antivibe is low and power to weight good on the mcv6200

Berries can be eaten the  turks like em.

Would side dicharge be ok and how often  do thet say  its needs cutting might affect how well mulching works.

Last yr grass never stopped growing nearly all yr round as never had any dry summer & mild spring & autum.

Local church is is all wild garlic & they  do ocassionally nuke it with some  weedkiller so it looks terrible but it just comes back.

Graves so tight no chance any mower would fit between the majority of them.

Most of the  general public & many conservation orgs seem to have a rabid irrational hate of sycamores yet theres mass hysteria over   sycamore gap.
