Spotted a story in Land Rover owner or such a few years ago lwb land rover knitted out as mobile log splitter. Looked good shall try and track story down www.logrover.co.uk

In the past I was a pony boy using pony to carry stags back to the road on deer stalking estates we could get almost anywhere EXCEPT peat avoid at all costs

Hi i have just pruned some neglected blackcurrants in the past they must have been well weed killed as not much weeds just a few nettles really and a little grass Could i mulch them with fresh cow manure ? give them a little boosts and suppress weeds thanks

should i pile up stuff to awkward to split or getting rotten in one big pile or have a few small piles favouring one big one now ??

Hi i have two woodpiles one is oak to be split then seasoned for as long as possible the other is everything else and burnt after one summer which pile should the cherry go in ? thanks

LINHOPE SPOUT ?

I trim all mine except ash which is less twiggy sounds like a good plan with the paper bags branch / mini logs. The way forward if we could work out best way to do it not sure about drying out the branches i find the fresher the wood the neater the cut dry stuff tends to shatter ??

Hi mr billhoook when you say you log them into a bulk container could you elaborate ? What's the container how do the mini logs dry how do you get them back out into the scuttle i have a small logger from welmac and find the net bags less than ideal tried logging some into ventilated barrow bags but found them difficult to empty and the mini logs went a bit mouldy most of mine go in the gasifying boiler and for starting /cheering up the stove Thank anyone else have any tips ?

hi have made a bench with a plywood top its inside an open shed so will get a little rain or snow blowing in also condensation drips from melting ice would thompson waterseal do the job or do i have to go whole hog varnish / epoxy coating ? thanks for any tips david

Mini dogs enjoy minilogsmini logs also bucket loading system

I tried an old coke hod as well as buckets not a success for me as hod tapered towards the top so mini logs unwilling to come out

i decant my branch logs into buckets and tip/ throw them 1/2 a bucket at a time into the stove bit of a technique required but works ok 100 % agree that top loading would be too dusty /smoky esp in a cafe

Hi i have a pair of husqvarna branded radio earmuffs they are great for mowing in the summer and log splitting in winter gone dead now thou gave battery's terminals a little clean and new batteries but no luck any ideas thanks david

hi i have some oak cut into rings/ logs from limbs knocked off by september winds i want to burn them next year after only one summer how small would you split them to achieve this ? they are approx 18 inches long perhaps split them then cut in half lenght ways thanks

Living willow revetment ? only needs trimmed back once a year cheap easy and no heavy machinery required thus saving the ground could be an option
