Very nice. What's the wildlife activity like with your new pond?

I have a husqvarna battery strimmer. However last year we bought the new Ego powerhead strimmer. Its extremely light but perfect for lawn edging. All of the power is down at the head rather than up at the battery end and just for extra fun it also coils up your strimmer cord with the push of a button. Its also not that pricey. Husqvarna battery stuff is pretty pricey. Have you used any Ego stuff? I have a bunch of their stuff and am quite surprised at how well it works and price is pretty good too. Try this link here. I was pretty impressed at how well it was balanced and also how quiet, easy to control when doing edges and pretty powerful for a battery strimmer.

Pleasantly sunny day here, though the ground is still way to soft to tow out my wood chipper from the Orchard. Might wait till May or June for that.

what sort of price do they go for?

BTW - is that Magnolia grandiflora behind the tree near the building. If so does it flower?

You could help the tree by removing the grass around the root area out to the drip line and putting down a layer of mulch and feeding the tree with something like biochar with worm casts and other nutrient potentials for the tree. In its current location and the compaction of root area, along with the grass on top of the root zone taking up nutrients, the tree is not being given much to go on. You might want to look up mulch circles online and see what Tony Kirkham says about it. It would obviously change the view of the lawn outside having a neat mulch circle out to the drip line of the canopy.

that must cost a few bob.

Very nice. What you going to do with it?

Thanks. Good to know.

Crikey! LOL!

what sprocket does it use?

Excuse me all over the place. LOL!

Are you sure its not some sort of woolly aphid

That's some fancy stuff!

Sorry I am in Sussex and have some big lumps of a fairly big beech that came down in the recent storms. A 14 tonne digger had trouble pulling it out onto flat ground so we had to cut the cord into 3 pieces, but its a pretty good size beech. That's all I have. But probably be quite good for milling I would have thought. If I had a mill I might have done it myself and used the planks. Hope you find something.

looks a little wet.

Tidy!

LOL!, Lucky for me I don't work in Crowborough, however saying that it is generally pretty foggy and coming through Ashdown Forest every day can always get a little foggy. Nice village Rotherfield, great little cafe's there these days.

Not much to be done in this weather, got the rain proofs on but for some reason can’t get too excited at working in Heavy rain for the 6th month in a row.

Back to grey and heavy rain all day.

Talking of MFs, I am slowly refurbing (with the help of a friend that knows what he’s doing) our MF 135, think it’s a late 60’s model brought back over from Italy about 15 year’s ago. Battery is fine on it though luckily

Yes if there had been an explosion on the Hindenburg, then I doubt there would have been any survivors.

what bar did you get in the end. I am currently looking at upgrading my 20" bar that I have on the 572xp. got a 24" and 28" for the saw but want a better 20" for smaller cuts.

Crikey!. Well good luck on getting a new battery and hope that doesn't happen again. Probably there is some H&S regulation on touching a battery and what sort of protective gear one should be wearing while dealing with them. Maybe someone will invent a course on care of machine and car batteries some time.

ouch...
