    They're not allowed any ammunition though.

    Well he was a brave man anyway.

    Terrible story Rich. What was your uncle's name?
  4. Mick Dempsey
    Thanks, figured it was a "well we're here now so,,,," sort of thing.

    Why Not Fight Islamic State? | Tim Marshall - The What and The Why I try and stay out of these debates, but Tim Marshall who knows his onions has written a good article. Well worth a read (Not too long)

    I've seen similar stuff to this in Normandy driving up to the ferry.

    Ahhhh, makes sense.

    What's the radius/diameter reference about?
  12. Mick Dempsey
    Not entirely relevant but... A few years back I was working o a willow and felled a large limb into a field full of cows. Within minutes they were on it munching away.

    I reckon there are hedgehogs who have a greater sense of adventure.

    Stop thinking like small potatoes.

    Depends on your interpretation of lapsed, 1/5/10/20 years? I've done all ages, they have all come back a treat.(talking of limes) Tbh I don't see why this bs3998 should be revered as gospel.

    More! Strange story about this tree, my mum bought some twisted willow "sticks" to use for flower arranging. Once put in a vase with water and flowers some of it started to produce leaf, so she put it in the ground and grew a tree. This is a cutting from that, first planted 8 years ago.

    It can also mean training the shape, according to wiki. Here's a twisted willow outside my workshop I do every year, given its location it's inconceivable to do anything but pollard it. I do it in the spring rather than the usual autumn trim 'cos the regrowth looks nice all winter.

    Very nice, I would say that's "pleaching" Not really sure of the difference. Anyone?......
  22. Mick Dempsey
    Not really, but don't want to get bogged down in this.
  23. Mick Dempsey
    Surely that's reducing. Or has the terminology changed? Thinning is removal of inner growth to increase light penetration and reduce sail effect.
  24. Mick Dempsey
    I'd be interested to know the answer to that question as well, I suspect yes.
  25. Mick Dempsey
    How is thinning a tree containing it?
