No worries mate

Anyone had any experience with Esse burners. Their 301 and 350 models apparently fit straight into a standard fire opening and need very little fitting. https://esse.com/multifuel-stoves/esse-350-mf/ https://esse.com/multifuel-stoves/esse-301-mf/

Hi looking for some advice on smaller stoves. My current fire place opening is W 430mm D 350mm H 560mm, hearth depth from fire opening 430mm. Are their any 4kw + multi fuel stoves which would fit in this space, still give good heat output without having to increase the fire opening or increase the hearth depth as I believe the hearth has to extend 300mm beyond the stove??

Any one recommend a supplier of 5' hornbeam, cheaper the better. Need about 35 of them

How about BEECH, GREEN (Fagus sylvatica). Hedging Plants, Trees, Shrubs and Conifers. Can buy at 4-5ft
-
Need a decent hedge which has all year round foliage and quick growing (not leylandii) to get to 6ft

What's the weight of the nets? soft/hardwood??

Hi all Its looking likely I'm going to be made redundant in the next 2-3 months. Im a keen Gardner worked in the forestry some years ago as a gopher then cutter then choker man, regularly cut/strim a few gardens for 4 elderly couples as well as some basic landscape stuff (laying paths, fencing etc), still take down the odd tree but very occasionally. I'm looking to see if I can expand on this and turn it in to a small business. Looking at pricing ideas, what could I charge etc. I'm in Ayrshire I'm looking at taking up some further tree felling/maintenance courses to get me up to standard. Also idea where I can get info on council grass cutting/maintenance contracts????? Any info would be greatly appreciated Rob

Thanks Pete message sent. How long do you leave the sticks to dry When would you sand the stubs left from the branches Would you clean off with wire wool when still green

Amazing walking sticks

Hi all I've got some poles of Birch and Hazel which would make perfect walking staffs. (currently drying naturally) Anyone have any idea on the idea thickness? I'm wanting to keep the bark on so whats the best way of cleaning them? May take some bark off a couple of them so whats the best way to do this? Whats the best coating for the finished product, Danish oil? Linseed oil? Varnish? Best prep prior to coating? Any other advice on making walking sticks??

Its not my crop :-( and its south of the border, was just visiting. I've about a dozen tree's in my garden. Was buying a property with 6 acres of wood but this fell through 48hrs before we were moving in.

Hi all just wondering if the willow species Goat willow is a good wood for coppicing and fuel burn. Visited a friends site today and is full with Goat willow,around 8 acres of the wood most trees have around 6-8 limbs averaging 6" diameter. Not sure how this species will regrow but should be quick.

I think your spot on their, never used a stove before so its a learning curve. Thinking a 4-5kw stove, living room is 3.5m x 5.9m x 2.7 high with the second room very similar size. Bedrooms 3.5m x 4.5m

Probably partial heating. The cottage were buying has electric heating (has 2 rooms downstairs 2 upstairs. small extension with bathroom kitchen in it). Going for Oil for primary heat/hot water but putting multi fuel burner in, in the hope we can ease off the oil and heat the cottage via the stove. leave a door open so it permeates through the house and up through the floor boards (wishful thinking)

Free delivery all way down to Girvan (well near Girvan)
