    Interesting thanks Surely both theese top predators lived for 100,000's of yrs though along side each other in the past even if they were killing each other sometimes, so I don't reckon they will harm golden eagle numbers compared to other man made factors? Maybe I'm wrong though as less wild habitat around now so both competing over less resources? Suppose numbers were kept low by humans killing them for yrs prior before there final extinction limiting predation on domestic animals..

    Garlic likes a light free draining soil whats the soil like there? Gardening on a heavy clay V loam etc is completely different proposition just in effort required to get a nice tilth for cultivation

    Dunno about any livestock profitbility on 4 acres. Would have to be to something niche like bee hives or free range chickens, or growing stuff but thats not allowed... Allowed to sub let as a pony paddock etc?

    One on ebay looks nice wonder if you can still get decent blades though? Haven't seen blades like this are bacho modern ones still the best quality etc sandvik? Only ever used bowsaws as a volunteer and found them awful as blades twisting etc probably never had a one properly set up blade etc. Shorter ones may be better than 30" less twisting?

    Nice job. Im abit obessed with wild bullaces. Think they taste better in jams than many plums and damsons. Abit like the difference between a rasberry and a tayberry jam. Green gages are really nice but never had a decent crop of them, compared to abudant bullaces.

    Always thought that a scheme for random fruit tree varities, apples, pears quince, plums, damsons, bullace, crab apple culitivars would be great trees in hedges. Some new hedge mixes are very limited.

    Would be nice to have some more diversity but thoose species don't occur here and would need to be planted into gaps in the existing hedgerows or into the mix in new ones, but sycamore is already there in many of the flailed hedges, being the only large tree species left thats common after the loss of ash and elm. Never thought of alder as a hedge tree. One farm here had planted several 100's as new hedges and let them all grow up as trees them the whole lot died a few yrs ago probably only 20yrs old, maybe due to drought. https://devonhedges.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/12_Management-4-Hedgerow-trees.pdf

    H10 Tall or overgrown – line of trees Hedgerow has developed into a line of trees Very little, if any, woody undergrowth Locally the "wild" blackthorn hedges seem to have a decent mix of trees & species. Bullace is very common, also some ash sycamore, elder, hazel, honeysuckle rose etc. Beech oak & holly rare. The hawthorn hedges are often 100% hawthorn for long lengths so few bigger trees species around to seed into in thoose neglected hedges Ash the remaining predominant hedge tree are now all being felled - with ADB, and next to nothing has being allowed to grow up & replace any of them. Would be nice to select a few sycamore to let some grow up as that is the only large tree species left thats common here.

    Its the Uk climate to warm to grow quality softwood as its wood has a non ring porous structure, where as UK is good for ring porous hardwoods eg ash as fast grown is better for thoose species.
