I started to cut a hawthorn hedge every 3 yrs just to allow more berries for birds, hedge seems to be alot healthier since, and by leaving it wild it shades out the ivy more than when it was cut every year. 3rd year growth gets covered in berries. I think cutting very often may weaken the plants making them less vigorous? Neighbours probably think its being lazy look untidy, & its its also alot more hassle doing it every 3 years than cutting regular as a load of larger arisings to deal with. Beech and elm hedges I cut every year.

They probably had a blade can't remember. Yeah thats was the idea Wildlife trust stuff cut by volunteers supposedly has to be removed from site or burnt on a tin sheet and ash removed. They also put down a plastic board walk don't think thats a good idea.... Screwing cutting it etc all creates alot of plasctic bits NRW projects Natural Resources Wales / Anglesey and Llŷn Fens LIFE Project NATURALRESOURCES.WALES The Anglesey and Llŷn Fens LIFE Project makes it easy to see how natural resources management can be relatively simple...

Seems excessive you were using the proper full synth oil mix? Warranties? Offtopic.... Local Wildlife trust had some contractors spending days strimming reeds on a marsh and raking them up into builders bags with hay rakes. Thought it was abit crazy as looked a large open flat area covering several acres where some bigger machines could of done it all in a few hrs?.... Think strimmers are only really ideal as edging awarkard bits as when used to clear bigger open areas takes ages... NRW has a fleet of specialized kit sitting on different marsh only a few miles away. Softtrak think they were.

I planted somew bluebells in a new woodland they have seeded & spread around fairly quickly. Also some wild garlic which might of being a mistake as wondering if it will out compete the bluebells/everything else eventually? Planted wood anemones also but the roots/corms all got dug up and eaten.

Cutter length as in length of the sharpened area or top flat bit of the cutter? Iv'e never though it that important - the idea thay should all match in size, as chains seems to cut well even with several missing teeth if the rest are sharp

Replacing gorse with something else
Stere replied to spandit's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
Did you plant them trees etc and if so how are they doing now? Actually saw some new gorse planted on purpose on caravan site acess road verge a few yrs back. 3 different gorse species unsure about UK wide geographic distribution of them etc... Maybe one types gone brown for some reason but not the other? Gorse (Ulex sp.) WWW.PLANTLIFE.ORG.UK A spiny evergreen shrubs with yellow flowers. Drought or ground waterlogged? -
Cummings got a brass neck after the Barnard castle debacle what a pillock even if hes right. Some wacky stuff on his blog makes me think like his opinion of himself is way above his real ability Can't stand Gove and don't see Boris going any time soon as he seems very popular atm.

Yeah I though theere would be differrent ones for each chain. Not sure which colour wheel is best either suppose the white ones unless the chain is really knackered as will take less off?
