  1. Totally bonkers and surreal. https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2022-mbs-neom-saudi-arabia/?utm_source=pocket-newtab-global-en-GB
  2. Why Are Toads Climbing Trees in the UK? - EcoWatch WWW.ECOWATCH.COM Citizen scientists in the UK went looking in trees for bats and dormice and found toads hanging out as high as 10 feet up.
  3. Are batteries really that dangerous to fiddle with? Short circuit could happen somehow if internal parts come loose damaged / bridged by something conductive? Also suppose water isn't any good for battery fires as lithuim burns in water.
  4. What type of wood is that greenhouse frame raised beds etc all locally milled stuff etc or stuff from builders merchant? Saw a really nice similar one that was made from larch and vistalux sheets .
  5. Think that lean must be due to the prevailing wind or shaded on that side?
  6. 2 girls one cup style cup 🤨
  7. Its all over UK in wild bird pops atm 1000's dying etc in larger numbers than in recent yrs. Im not sure what will happen in future with commercial and domestic with regards to regs & free range birds. Kept my domestic hens inside for months when advised to but no one else local seemed to bother. Think what you said is sensible.
  8. 200 quid for new motor if thats whats knackered but it may well be something else.... cheaper too replace? Husqvarna Motor Assy 540ixp - 5984025-01 WWW.DIYSPAREPARTS.COM
  9. Battery is the way forward for hedge trimmers Never using petrol again for hedges as battery is just better in all respects also for the dinky topper 18v mak chainsaw

    How come your selling all that cordless gear?
  11. Sometimes handy to stop small logs spinning on saw horse
  12. Some big large gnarly seasoned hardwood rounds with knots in is best. Had a few dozen big elm rounds left over from dutch elm disease dead felled trees was using for yrs made wonderful chopping blocks. Also have a few tonnes of hardcore and some drainage pipe under the ground below the "lawn" area i split so doesn't get muddy etc Don't bother with using grenades hammers wedges etc, if the maul won't spilt it just put in to one side then "noodle" it with chainsaw its alot quicker & less hassle imo. For kindling I made on of theese:
  13. Looks like this type. Not better than a regular fork tbh This design seems more sensible
  14. Have a antique "potato fork" with wider tines still stab them though
  15. Anyone seen any trees recover someone said some trees can/may still recover but iv'e not noticed any trees do that? Seems to be the ones with it only getting worse so far?
  16. Always grow charlotte ones
  17. Looks like fancy a himalayan one? Pricey specimen tree newly planted?

  19. Just got some new chipper spec ear muffs should of got them yrs ago even though I rarely use a chipper as the extra noise blocking is nice for any machine.
  20. I have a mountfield with the honda engine its ok SP53H bought new had for about 5yrs. They still sell the model Mountfield SP53H 51cm Self Propelled Petrol Lawnmower | Charlies WWW.CHARLIES.CO.UK Deck is starting to rust and various plastic bits have fallen off now but all spares are availabl (but as is 350 new spending to much on spares doesn't make sense e.g 110 quid on a new deck bettter just get another mower etc). I prefer honda V briggs enginers as they seem to keep running better and use less fuel.... Before this I had an husky with a brigs and before that an izy that lasted decades (alu deck outlast the steel ones) Second hand looking from on ebay etc 90% seem over priced and also abit of a gamble as any replacement parts if sill available are so expensive V costs new? Ideal for you might be a rough cut with side disharge but they are more expensive.... Scag side discharge mower 48 inch cut 15hp Kawasaki tidy good tyres WWW.EBAY.CO.UK First used it is believed 2017 It has a 15hp Kawasaki recoil start 2 cylinder petrol engine hydrostatic dual drive, Sold as... Modern honda izy it appears they have downgraded both the quality and engine size but not the prices?
  21. Dunno i couldn't see it only the audio. Might need to use a different web browser.
  22. Think i metioned this before on another thread. I saw some garden design prog on the telly for a large posh garden. They bought in some big tree stumps on a flat bed lorry to make a stumpery. Think they paid over 100 quid for each large stump and had near a dozen or so stumps... Might be an idea to use up all the stumps.....if you did get them dug up, make to your own stumpery somewhere......
  23. Is ground going to used for something else that means all stumps have to be got rid?
  24. I grew them one yr in a polytunnel there was 100's on each plant they grow like crazy. This is talking over atm, it self seeds all over, its alot easier to grow than normal spinach as doesn't bolt. Tetragonia tetragonioides - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG
