    Put a picture up, it’s easier to help so you will get better and more responses. For a start I would remove the dead, depending on the height of the hedge you should fill some of the gaps by laying it. If you lay it in a low style like Dorset you can plash down some hazel so it takes root in the gaps as well. (This can be done with higher styles but the stem layed flat to take root may look a little odd.) where abouts are you in the country? There are some of on here that lay or look up on here: NHLS WWW.HEDGELAYING.ORG.UK

    Eventually the trunk splits. They dont seem to snap the handle off so yes prob fairly strong

    Mine have always been one piece of holly or oak. Hold the limb and use the trunk section as the mallet. But as often as not the axe works just as well. Find a upward swept limb, it will help you get more height/better angle to hammer with.

    Fix your air line while your in the workshop 🙈 a quick blow off would save a world of pain when you get crap in the pot and score the bore 🤐

    Do the euro fitting attachments fit straight onto a multi one?

    It’s a new one on me as well. I’m also liking the rope brush in the vice, looks much easier than using it in your hand 👍

    Ask them if they haggle on the price in the supermarket? As to matching other people’s quotes, that’s a mugs game and what ends up being a race to the bottom.

    Uke in the wet is like trying to climb a sheet of glass covered in snot! There’s not many I won’t go at in any weather but uke is just crap. However the longer in the tooth I get the less I like working in the rain, especially if it’s coming sideways

    I met Henry on my LOLER course, you couldn’t ask to meet a nicer guy. Whoever goes for this could do far worse for themselves. 👍

    Does this come in metal or plastic drums? We are thinking of switching over. I hadn’t realised Stihl did bigger than 5l until a few days ago.

    Remove the infeed hopper, you can get in through there no bother. Order a load of spare bolts, there is always a few that don’t come undone and round the heads. In that case I’ve welded a 17mm nut to the bolt by welding through the centre of the nut until it’s filled the nut, the heat also loosens the stud. Remember to check the anvil clearance after changing the blades. also remove the battery before welding next to it they can go bang! ive only had to remove the cassette after a dumpy bag went through 🤦‍♂️

    @Rhyanna96 have you seen this? Seem to remember that you are in the smoke.

    You just end up with plastic pollution at the end, but if it's your own garden the pull them out after a few years when the stumps have started to rot. That is a problem, is it worse than chemical pollution from spraying herbicide on a fresh cut stump? It’s a difficult one to answer.

    Yes poisoning the stumps will be cheaper than grinding them out buy a long way. There are a few options on the market, we use eco plugs due to the low contamination risk to people, pets and wildlife. Your contractor will advise you of their there preferred option and the cost implications of each.

    Does any one know if this came to anything? @Justme guessing you have been watching it closely?

    Good luck with the next chapter @Rough Hewn. It’s hard selling up to restart, just remember as one door closes another one opens.

    I was driving a tractor and potato harvester around Elvedon in Suffolk. I listened to it on the radio thinking it was Chris Moyles having a wind up to start with. A couple of weeks later I clipped the fence at Lakenheath air base with the harvester and put a hole in it. You have never seen so many humvee and squadies armed to the hilt! It turns out they were on high alert and thought we were going to blow the place up 😂

    Fell fell the pops they will get much bigger (read more expensive) to do so later. Eco plug to kill or grind out the stumps depending on budget and future plans. If you want to keep them small it will be a ongoing cost. The cherry is a cracker, if it’s not killed any animals yet your fairly safe. If you must prune it do so in summer after it has flowered (look up silver leaf in cherry trees).

    Minimum of 50m in good going if you use cell grown plants and a planter equally ive been down to 10m/day in chalk/flint with2 inch of top soil digging planting holes with a bar and heeling in with a sledge hammer 😏 (always take a spade to quote) but the hedge still survives 10 years on!

    Follow Marks advice, if not you will wreck you elbows and shoulders longer term. Your climbing with a horse n cart get with the times and help your self. as to the ascender I reckon you get more rope wear from the bark than you will from an ascender

    That must make the tree he best part of 18ft wide! I’ve seen a picture of it before but never registered it’s magnitude. It’s bloody huge!

    I can’t comment on the smart winch but the grcs has allowed us to do jobs we could only of dreamed of with out hiring a crane before having it, it’s a real game changer.
