    Thanks

    Snap! Maybe a bit lower than my line, then cut it as a hedge.

    Why not just cut the scraggly bit off? Otherwise, I'd not recommend planting fast growing conifers. The story starts with "we'll definitely keep on top of them" and ends with the neighbours hating you because you've swamped their house and taken all the light and water from their garden.

    Do you have any more details? Sounds like it might be interesting
  5. Dan Maynard
    Agree, even got the weird red string looped in the back the same. Customisable if you order 100 at a time.

    I don't know what changed in that version but pretty sure calendar quarters did not, I've always believed that to be quarters based on calendar year. It's the same definition of calendar quarters for accountants.

    This is the key, you claim back what is shown as vat on the invoices. You add 20% to your invoices, and what you hand over is one minus the other like you said. VAT can be complicated, not everything is 20% rate eg firewood at 5% or some foods are 0% - but thats not your problem as it will say the amount of vat on your invoice. All you need to do is collect a vat invoice (or receipt) for everything you spend and add up the figures given to get your claim.

    Mine are a bit longer but gradually working down in length as I nick or spike them.... Definitely see the advantages of a shorter line for moving around, if I'm anchoring srt I generally pull spare up around and through a ring then lock off with alpine, so the tail is only what I need.

    Its 3 month blocks Jan-Mar etc. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/64b54e2d0ea2cb000d15e3e5/FC_Tree_Felling_4_July_23_WEB.pdf

    Hmm . Did buy a tipper trailer 3 years ago though, that would count.

    That'll be SAGA , they'll be coming for you too eventually....

    Seems like I'd be able to reclaim all the VAT I've spent on Landrover repairs over the last 4 years - definitely tempting to register.

    Got a drop of exhaust paste in my eye once, turns out it's quite like bleach so really really hurts and you have to sit in A&E for ages with one eye shut.

    Likely to sprout from the tops where you've cut, I would coppice them back to stumps and infill with some native hedging mix as long as you can stand it being open for a while.

    I thought about this, harness prices have gone ballistic over the last 5-10 years if you compare to what you used to pay for a Butterfly, I seem to remember about 180 when a saw was 500. Then again if you haven't got a comfortable harness nothing else matters so you pay it. Think the marketers have cottoned on to this.

    The tree doesn't mind at all whether you cut the dead part off or not, it's stopped interacting with it. I'd probably cut it off so you can see new growth more easily.
  17. Dan Maynard
    I wonder if you could coppice it, effectively plant the root and have it sprout? Trouble is that's probably not the bit you want to sprout if it's grafted.

    Seems like they still make them https://rothenbuhlereng.com/industries/forestry/

    I've got the book but can't remember this bit, have to go and read it again.

    If you go commercial then check the speed limits as the grenadier is over 2040kg so not a dual purpose vehicle. Think you'll be at 60 on dual carriageway.

    I've seen that black smouldery burn when using it on scout campfires. On our burner at home I've always burned it mixed and never had a problem.
  22. Dan Maynard
    Cheap as chips too - really tempting. The 540 is as much money as a 50cc saw.
  23. Dan Maynard
    Disappointed because it failed, or disappointed with how it worked? Just curious, most people seem to rave about them but I've not used one. Maybe you need a 462? Or if you're going Husqvarna instead get a 592 or maybe 585, quite a bit cheaper.
  24. Dan Maynard
    Do you leave that where it is and hook it up to an ascender then?

    ... or just use the back end of your climbing rope, that's been LOLER'd! To be fair I don't do a lot of natural crotch as it's so hard on my nice ropes, I carry a spider sling in my climbing bag so I do like the advantages of friction up high and not needing to set up a bollard for a few small pieces.
