Tell you what... strong stuff, this. Goldenroot, Rhodiola rosea, well worth a go. Big improvement on the auld sertraline. Try and get some for the garden if you can, but it is also available at your local Holland and Barret. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodiola_rosea

Phwoar, that's a nice vessel.

Jesus Christ!! Scary stuff. I'm not saying that the helmet isn't at fault here, obviously it's a key player... but the blame for that situation lies squarely with the instructor. There should have been a tagline attached to the back of the harness or a continuation of the tie-in rope from the front attachment point to assist in pulling the child down. With regards to lids on kids at climbing walls, though... not necessary, in my humble opinion. It's a question of environment, I lid my kids when there's risk of rockfall from above, or other parties throwing stuff down on you. -
Which emits more carbon dioxide: volcanoes or human activities? | NOAA Climate.gov WWW.CLIMATE.GOV Human activities emit 60 or more times the amount of carbon dioxide released by volcanoes each year. The above link even has a few easy-to-understand diagrams for anyone who benefits from a more visual approach to learning 👍

Anyone with limited space, a modest budget to spend, and a few spare children to occasionally operate the device, should consider building or buying a compost tumbler. Follow the recipe and you get usable product in 6 weeks or so with minimal effort, and the removal of any pests associated with the practice, be they real or imaginary.

I know the kind of buckle of which you speak, often on the chest strap of hiking or mountaineering rucksacks. I've never seen one on a helmet though, that's an interesting idea, as a last resort method for attracting attention to yourself.

Well there are those freeze distillation beers that are brewed to a normal strength and then partially frozen, and the ice crystals skimmed out... leaving all the alcohol and all the flavour, until it is unpleasantly treacly and bitter... but I think straight fermentation tops out at about 20% these days, and only when using a very powerful and boring yeast that can only digest pure white sugars, not the complex blend of starches and sugars in various malts, which you can only get to 14, 15, 16%, the strongest of the unnecessarily strong Belgian-style beers. There might have been exciting developments on that front in recent years, I know there's always competition between a few of the superstar breweries in that game to brew the strongest-possible pure beer without freeze distillation. But not my bag really. As you say, arbitrary, and you've really got to be in a very specific mood for anything stronger than about 7% in a beer, in my opinion.

Where do we draw the line between beer and wine, when we've stepped away from grain and grape? Simple percentage, with a cutoff of, say, 10.5%? Fizzyness? Intended quantity of drinking in a single sitting? Some particular idiosyncrasy to the creation process? Is a flat, 12% cider actually an apple wine, or is it still cider? Is a sparkling 9% ginger drink a strong ginger beer or a light ginger champagne?

The last few posts are a real breath of fresh air. Thanks chaps.

Being from a rock climbing background before getting into arb, I see chinstraps as essential due to the possibility of doing anything inverted (great fun, looks cool, why wouldn't you), I think anyone who finds them uncomfortable and faffy to be a big bag of whinges.

Ahh. Sorry.

Swap that you're and your around and you've nearly got a decent grasp of the language, old chum 👍

This is definitely a word you don't understand.

It still perplexes me how any of you reprobates can hold any of Trump's attributes to be in any way positive. There really is no nice way to put it. I definitely don't agree with the auld Hillary Rodham Clinton on many things, but she was bang on with her assessment of you gutter-dwelling pustules... you are nothing but a basket of deplorables. A honeybee among wasps... that’s just pure poetry 😆 Edit Sorry, no, I understand completely why you all love him: because he gives you permission to say out loud all of the shitty things that you've got floating around inside your head that in civilised society you would rightfully be scorned for. He's a green light for you to behave like animals, psychopaths, bullies, thugs.

Care to pick up on any specifics?

You are right actually, they are about due for a Native American president. If you can't trace your lineage back at least a thousand years you shouldn't get a look in.

The reason for Trump's late appearance at this train wreck has been revealed. He threw his toys out of the pram and refused to go onstage when he was told there would be live fact checking, and that he would be called up on any lies. Now We Know Why That Disastrous Trump Event Started So Late NEWREPUBLIC.COM Donald Trump’s interview with the National Association of Black Journalists started more than an... "The NABJ had arranged for Trump’s interview to be simultaneously fact-checked online in collaboration with Politifact. At one point, Trump’s team requested that the NABJ not post fact-checking to its social media accounts, or allow the moderator to discuss the fact-checking on stage, according to Lemon."

That's the kind of problem-solving attitude this project needs. Have a promotion. You are now the Grand Wizard of The Moonbeam Energy Plantfood Collective.

Ahh, shite. I hadn't considered that.

Yeah, but how about this... we fill an IBC with plain old water - ideally from a spring or mountain stream, but really, anything will do - and leave it outside for one full lunar cycle... wax and wane, full and new... letting it absorb the power of the moonlight... Then, we take that 1000 litres of moon water, and split it into a thousand other IBCs... then top it up with 999 litres of plain water and shake it about a bit, giving us ONE MILLION LITRES of 1k strength homoeopathic moon water. Then... ...get this... ...we do it again! Giving us ONE BILLION LITRES of ONE MILLION STRENGTH homoeopathic moon water to sell to the smelly hippies, harnessing the incredible power of the lunar cycle to let your plants grow stronger even at nighttime!! We'll make a fortune!

Control of rhododendron in woodland
peds replied to peds's topic in Forestry and Woodland management
That looks like a great tool, definitely on the shopping list. £330 for the 8.4kg actually seems very reasonable to me. There's definitely space for an item like that in my van. Thanks for sharing that. -
Well that's exactly it... obviously the big thing here is being roasted in a polytunnel... how many days difference drying time, between zero and more than zero, does knocking them over under a full moon (or whatever), actually make, how would you measure it? Maybe 4 piles: moon chopped in a tunnel, moon chopped outside, not moon chopped in a tunnel, not moon chopped outside; measure and record moisture content of all 4 piles... But then... why would you? Maybe you could sell it for a few more quid to the right kind of customer...
