    Jokes???

    Not sure it’s at home in the joke thread but a very well written piece 👍
  2. About half way between the two of us then 👍
  3. Is that not the point to stop the weeds? It puts it all the nitrogen back and more in a couple of months time. I would of thought at a year old you will be almost spreading compost and encouraging the weeds 🤔 conifer chip is fairly acidic and can help adjust the soil ph in that direction so a customer tells me, never tested the results so I can’t confirm this.
  4. Don’t sell your self short. There is to many in this industry that get into the race to the bottom mindset. You want to work to earn not work to ruin yourself! A trial day is one thing but don’t let people take the piss out of you. Good luck.
  5. Local Authority Treescapes Fund - GOV.UK WWW.GOV.UK Find out about the Local Authority Treescapes Fund and how to apply for funding to increase tree planting and natural regeneration in local communities in England. Could be something interesting, but I wouldn’t mind betting that by the time the funds filter down it will almost all be spend on admin
  6. We’re they the ones with a extra spike that extended when you stamped on them?
  7. I concede, I was going to reply but finding a wity come back has failed me 🤔 That has got to be best retort I’ve seen for some time 👍 🤣
  8. That harness makes me think your into bdsm
  9. The number refers to weight iirc. they run fine on this 👍 Hydraulic Oil 46 25 Litre - £48.00 Delivered WWW.RYEOIL.CO.UK Hydraulic Oil 46 made from highly refined base stocks which have good resistance lowering the possibility of gums which would stop working parts.
  10. Thought these were interesting, not often you get to see the root structure we came across them while wondering along a beach, come over with a cliff fall at some point.
  11. It’s about time bees are protected seeing as they are endangered and with out pollinators our out look is bleak. Fair play for asking to get it right
  12. I tend to leave the top in, but like most things in this game the plan constantly changes once you in the tree.
  13. You are right paddy but I think you missed the point/difference between cash in hand and “a cash buyer” - having the cleared funds ready to purchase the item in question
  14. I know the question wasn’t directed at me but we run similar terms. My answer would be: Only customers that would of been a pain in the arse and I don’t want them any way so it’s win win 👍
  15. Have a look at the Predetor chainsaw grinders. I’ve had a couple of 2 ft plus stumps out with a 661 based one. I reckon they are just as quick as a little bouncy grinder and far more portable
  16. Alder is said to be good for charcoal and gun powder
  17. You will also need to get a waste carriers licence. A lower tier should be ok, but check first as everyone’s set up is different. They used to be free for lower tier and just a paper work exercise but I’m not sure if that still the case. our local landfill also runs a composting set up, £x per ton over the weigh bridge most areas have something similar
  18. Cheviot trees in Scotland deliver nation wide. There cell grown stuff is very good, a little more expensive than bare root but with the tube planter it’s bloody quick to plant hedges compared to bare root so you gain more on labour cost than you spend on plants.
  19. Sorry someone had to do it

    Old Axe

    I’ve done some in the past with starter cord, kite string or paracord whipping, quite simple to do. I’ve not red the full site but the pics will show you how How To Wrap A Tomahawk Or Axe Handle With Paracord - BushEcho WWW.BUSHECHO.COM How To Wrap A Tomahawk Or Axe Handle With Paracord. - While there are plenty of other ways to wrap the handle, this way is simple and doesn’t take much time.
  21. I must say I’ve noticed it get progressively worse over the last few weeks. Equally we have noticed customers and society in general going the same way. The current situation seems to have given many folk a green light to forget common decency 🤯😢 I had hoped that during these strange and challenging times that folk would have pulled together and been a little more excepting of different views and ways but it seems to have done the opposite.
  22. A bolt may help if you can’t find a pin.
  23. I’m lost for words on this. To have a fall/tree collapse is a risk most of us except as a possibility one day. To have the barstard drown you as well is not in the job description 😢 Our thoughts are with the family. RIP.
  24. Your not selling it 🤣
  25. It makes good fire wood but looks quite plain as a split log, I would be interested to see what it comes out like 👍
