Harwoods logs only no chip or softwood what a fussy bugger You'll be asking for the Moon on Stick next Try being less fussy & maybe even offer some money you might get more luck.

No liquid feed but slate & plastic under trees is a bad idea imo & best removed and replaced with soil/bark. I dislike the trend for gravel with plastic membranes in gardens at all, as they are high maintenance & generally look rubbish imo. Maybe its ubiquitousness is something related to thoose garden transformation telly programs? Gardens are much better in most cases either with pavers or soil than plastic membranes scattered with gravel or esp slate all over the place. Not must better than astro turf.

I think leylandi is better.

I don't think honbeam is any slower...

Id say choose hornbeam instead & your plan may create a sump for water, & make a berm to plant into How to Plant based on Soil Drainage | Sierra Azul SIERRAAZUL.COM Looks like a new build might be turf layed over subsoil & topsoil missing or some other messed up things.

So does being an SSSI mean you may have to do stuff thats enforced? Say they tell you or recommend you to do something impratical and expense and you don't do anything what happens then? Looking here all the enforcment actions are from doing something wrong none cover not doing something recommended apart from the controling injurious weeds ones? https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/63ef6fdee90e077bb3d7af0d/annual-enforcement-report-2018-to-2022.pdf Makes sense a stressed plant form either drought ot water logging is weaker. Waterlogging also makes apple canker worse etc. I had the idea any extremes nationally or regionally in climate either drought/or very wet winters would probably acelerate ADB.

They look perfectly normal to me not esp spindly. Hormbeam are fairly slow growing, I think nothing needs doing. Branches will thicken up with time, its not something you can acelerate much. Watering in summer and a mulch/feed may help abit to increase growth rate.

What does PHC mean & irrigation is this in the USA? Iv'e not much idea about solutions to the question, but how about just checking a % of jobs at rdm of each work crew not all jobs? If anyjob done has the potential to be checked it would motivate quality?

Ash will mostly die brambless and pioneer trees like birch or blackthorn scrub with take over dependent on local seed sources soil type etc them will return to another dominant tree species mix eventually Wasteslands are seldom barren for nature & 20 slope doesn't mean you could'n do some planting or felling if you wanted.

https://www.fs.usda.gov/t-d/pubs/pdfpubs/pdf18232812P/Part05_Types.pdf Axmen will probably always debate the proper sharp- ening techniques for a double-bit ax. The Forest Service’s preferred method is to leave one edge thin- ner and sharper and the other edge thicker so that it doesn’t have as sharp a cutting angle. Ax nomencla- ture refers to the thinner, sharper edge as the “keen” edge and the thicker edge as the “stunt” edge. The difference in cutting edges allows axmen to use the proper edge for the type of wood they cut. The keen edge sinks deeper into wood that is free of knots and allows the axman to remove bigger chips. The stunt edge is better in harder, dense wood, such as tree limbs or knots, and allows the axman to work without bending, chipping, or otherwise damaging the cutting edge of the ax. The visual differences between the keen and stunt edges can be subtle. Many experienced axmen rely on other visual indicators to identify the cutting edge they wish to use. These visual indicators could corre- spond with the side of the ax that has the manufac- turer’s mark or may be a mark the axmen place on the side of the ax or ax handle (figure 5–7). Personal- izing the ax handle is a good way to identify which is the stunt edge and which is the keen edge.

New fancy one TASK AR2.0

Are they all bare root that 100cm size? 100 sounds about right to do in a day with bigger bare root trees and fiddling with fitting guards over branchy tops etc. Id guess maybe 150-200 max going flat using all the sunrise to sunset daylight hrs this time of year, & about 100 taking it easy. Using this type of spade with cell grown trees are alot faster than bare root.

Shame Spear & jackson or any other UK company doesn't make useful quality hand agri or forestry tools anymore. Where as Sneeboer Dutch and SHW & baack from Germany Falci Italy still do etc. I was looking for a new fork handle for a monster of an old fork and couldn't find anywhere in UK selling the appropiate ash style D handle, the original had one like the pic below: Unlike pic the metal strapping went all the way up to the top handle so was flat nor curved right at the top where it was riveted onto the bottom of the D handle.

A broadly agree but I think its still an issue esp with an urban pop density if too many stoves are running even the new eco ones. In cities with mains gas and where stoves are often a new trendy lifestyle choice of the wealthy, more than an economical pratical one, maybe they should be discouraged even if all are eco stoves? A co2 footprint between imported kiln dired wood from lithuania V some arb waste from 1 miles away wood be interesting? Obiviously the most eco log would be from a coppiced wood close to the property, harvested & by an axe and horse logging or another very low co2 way but that is taking it to extremes. Its viable imo that ideally each village or farm could have a managed woodlot located close by, producing enough to supply its needs but this doesn't scale up so well to towns & cities logistically or pollution impact wise. Woodlots are a concept often promoted in third world places to relieve fuel poverty. On the other hand I think shipping & harvesting in bulk may be less carbon intesive than many think? Might give some effiency bonus with a large volume of product versus the fossil fuels burnt by harvest machinary & transport per log etc but im just guessing.....
