  1. Supposedly decks are rot resistant which is something that never seems to last that well on many mowers
  2. Shame about mulching the stumps😑
  3. Taliban weapons haul from the US Taliban is feared to have access to 200,000 guns, 22,000 Humvees and more | Daily Mail Online WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK The US has spent $83 billion in training and military aid to the Afghan Army since 2001. Much of that expensive equipment... Taliban disco 🤨
  4. Could also get a silky saw you could do alot in a few hours cutting scrubby overhanging branches & stuff & felling small seeded trees along edges etc. Trouble is where is all all the large volume of trimmed stuff going thought? Over hegde into farmers fields as many bridle ways narrow lack places to dump stuff or will have to drag it a long way... So you really need a chipper and chainsaw if the bridleways ways are anything like as overgrown as the ones ive seen here large blackthorn etc
  5. Interesting wonder when felled did they make sucessfull coppice stools again, as unsure if they regen well from a single stem that size or is there no max age /diameter of stem that will still sprout from reliably?
  6. Reckon you should get a battery multi tool several brands around bit pricey though for the decent ones, cheaper if you already have a the batteries ans charger for other tools.
  7. Just googled as wasn't clear extactly what stored means interesting. I thought singled stems might be be less stable than maidens at the the union where bow out from the orginal stool, like when negelected pollards loose branches...
  8. Horses etc like to eat it... EDIT Google says its poisonous for horses, but as have often seen ponies munching on it thought it was used as a general animal fodder historically... Holly – Returning To An Ancient Tradition On The Farm | Permaculture magazine WWW.PERMACULTURE.CO.UK This week Rebecca and Tim experiment with unusual animal feed for the 'hungry gap'.
  9. In the the latest guy martin prog he tried to set fire to a lithuim battery, the newest generation ones had some inbuilt tech that made them impressively un flamible Guy Martin: The World's Fastest Electric Car? WWW.CHANNEL4.COM Guy explores the world of electric vehicles. Are they the future? Should you buy one? Thinnk hydrogen may be future though as has energy density better than petrol Battery energy density are very poor so for range needs large heavy batteries. Seem crazy imo to carrying around massive batteries for 100 - 200 miles range when most journey are under 5 miles, and not very enviromental... Same for all the ICE SUV,s used around town atm... totally inefficent.
  10. tiaga forest though they do have tigers in it. 🙂

  12. 2trillion dollars spent on the Afghan War by the US, had to look up how many zeros a trn has.... 2,000,000,000,000 i.e. two million million Trillion - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG Likely be a be a genocide of "western collabrators" left behind and the shia minoirty group. Hazaras - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG Now taliban seem the long term future rulers......
  13. Might have more luck being a free mason than a freeman with local goverment Masonic handshake etc
  14. Reckoned the ARS looked good as the japanese companies seem to still make quality tools as both the silkly saws and okasune stuff I have are good. & have heard the ARS secateurs are quality Fiskars new stuff seemed not that durable from the loppers I tried. Have you a jap style tripod ladder they are really good esp one with 3 adjustable legs hedon do a copy of them.

  19. RHS says Wikipeadia says hibernica is But says doesn't climb here also: ( Best info could find on it is here) https://archive.bsbi.org.uk/Wats18p7.pdf Confusing...... EDIT: Seems from that paper the wild hibernica climbs the horticultural nusery version doesn't as much , and im guessing the extra vigour of the irish maybe coz its like a bramley has extra chromosomes - ploidy vigour
  20. One thing you could try or hope for but still a very long shot , is maybe stump will re grow after being coppiced /felled
