  4. I though alder was suppose re-coppiced well.? The NT mange a small alder coppice and make some charcoal near Aber Falls. I have some alder thinking of coppicing to prolong there lifespan/ & for firewood but might be got too mature to coppice sucessfully as over 20yrs old.? Also read thats alder not shade tolerant and its in a mixed of mostly ash woodland, thats getting ADB. Might just try one see it it re-sprouts. Robinia suppose to ideal for stakes and more eco but prob expensive & seem hard to find.... Made some tree stakes out of larch that last well but shame you can't buy them made out of decent durable hardwoods

  15. Big euc forest in portugal one downside is they really burn well in forest fires.
  16. I seen some managment with broadleaf some kind contionous cover selective fell scheme where many tubed replanted trees in clearings mostly died as too shaded (planted species lacked enough shade tolerance) and the self seeders did better than tubed trees, also the planted trees had too compete with the felled sycamore that coppiced think its hard to get right? Also the oaks get mildew now.... Maybe thet had the right idea back in medieval times for broadleaf when they just coppiced the lot in coupes but left few standard trees instead of selective fell for mixed broadleaf woodland...
  17. Suppose they will have a JASO FE next? Also how about saws with cats on and if how often should replace if you want there benefit? See the data a 2 stroke cat engine with reg fuel and oil below is similar to the aspen/alkalyte emissions wise? https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/027868290910224
  18. I just got some cheapo scooter synthetic 2 stroke stuff had the best ratings.....not that i fully understand there importance, apart from they relate to being clean burning so lower emissions, and less carbon deposits. API TC+ JASO FD ISO L-EGD How much % harmful emisions from a 2 stroke is the petrol part and how much is the 2 stroke oil as 4 stroke are alot healthier? E.g from makita: So reckon just using full synth oil probably = alot healthier as thats the majority of emissions..... Then you get thoose 2 stroke brands in US they say can be used at 100:1 ratio...
