  4. Bark looks like a hawthorn leaves look abit odd but i defo reckon its a hawthorn Maybe its the Midland Hawthorn Crataegus laevigata? Not the common one Crataegus monogyna Crataegus WWW-SAPS.PLANTSCI.CAM.AC.UK https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/1365-2745.13541
  5. Kind of guessed that that but solar thermal tubes still alot more efficent near 70% . & PV makes near zero financial savings or very small benefit after 20yrs on the payback calcs since FIT cuts? Suppose it depends on future lecky prices

  10. About 18p now One downiside with batteries is how you can't measure there degrading with each charge cycle so when to replace? Just seen makita do a gizmo for it would be handy for dealers to have if batteries are the future.

  13. Never thought mine was as loud as a lawnmower and people use that on a Sunday...
  14. Yeah true. Tried to propagate wild bullace from stones but mice got them Assume they could be propagated as easy as blackthorn whips by a nusery but they sell for £25 each
  15. Seems like a good idea doesn't seem other companies do them couldn't find any on google apart from a 5 oven thornhill one.
