Yo, what size of Eder will pull what size of rhodie stump?
-
If I was local to it, and not as tied down as I am now, I'd be interested. As I say, massively important job that no-one seems to be doing. We need more of it.
-
You get a say, of course you do. You can protest, riot, vote, assassinate, sabotage... petition... If you don't want some fella to get a few quid to help tackle a genuine ecological problem, start a petition.

On the bright side, more replies keeps the thread at the top of the pile, and healthy debate is always a good thing 👍 Anyway, I think more tax monies should be spent on the eradication of invasive species. There's f*ckloads of nonsense that can be trimmed from a budget before this pittance.

This is tptally, absolutely, 100%, simply not true. That's not what money is for mate, you know that. Money is for hookers and blow, not for saving endangered mosses, unless someone forces that cash into the moss fund.

Here's a pamphlet someone just handed me: https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/media/4792/state-of-scotlands-rainforest.pdf

Does chewing rhododendron fall under the job description of your local gamekeeper then? If anyone has the number for mine, I'd love to chat with him. I think he's been slacking off on the rhodie bashing. It's everywhere!
-
I think it sounds lovely, and exactly the sort of thing that we need more of. Don't mind Alex there, he's mourning a lynx.
-
Jesus Christ, what a f*cking barrel of laughs you are.
-
I'm not oppressing you, Stan. You haven't got a state! Where's the populace going to populate?! You going to keep it in a box?!
-
I suppose so, it's definitely swapped hands a few times, but I think it can safely be said to have been founded by the people of David (or is it Judah? Which of the sons was supposed to have been the head honcho of all the tribes? Or am I misremembering the whole show?). I wonder what the Jews or the Arabs or anyone else down there does with their artichokes... they'd probably puree well with garlic, lemon, and tahini, obviously...
-
Funfact: the Jerusalem refers not to the Jewish city or indeed its people, but a butterflisation of "girasole" or "turn to the sun", given their little sunflower-like blooms. Sunflower artichokes. Sunchokes.
-
What is the most fashionable super vegetable at the moment? How long until the wheel is back on Jerusalem artichokes?
-
Just FYI, microgreens and sprouted grains are incredibly nutrient-dense. They do offer more, gram-for-gram, than the equivalent weight or volume of their grown-up counterparts.
-
Oh, bigly foxed. Tremendously foxy. Yuge foxillisation.
-
I'd find one useful for the first 5 or 6 metres of the trees here in Ireland, less useful for the final 2 or 3.
-
Ahhh shite, I've just got them hanging and draining, and I get a mountain rescue callout. I'll not be able to skin and clean them until god knows when this evening. Meat will still be okay, hopefully... not like rabbits, where you have to gut them ASAP?
-
Oh, is there footage of that? I'll have a look, I haven't seen it.
-
It's so nice to see someone who understands the meaning of "brown the meat".

Morning. Some dozy twat forgot to close the little door on the chicken shed last night, now I have little piles of feathers all over the garden. Fluffy, Popcorn, Ginger, Rebecca. Two of the three Bresse girls, four of the five guineas. Some others. Not a good start to the day. To top it all, the few girls I have left are not enough to share between the three Bresse roosters, so the twins are getting the chop today. At least Anton will have fewer problems to deal with now. Have a good day everyone!
-
Hell yeah, great idea. Pack straw around them, couple of old bedsheets over the top, bricks or logs to hold it all down.
-
Leeks are pretty hardy, have you a few sheets of horticultural fleece, polythene, or any other suitable sheet material to drape over them? White bin bag split open... a few sheets of newspaper... old bedsheets... anything to take the edge off. Shame to waste a leek, they aren't exactly labour intensive but they take long enough to come to fruition.
-
Fair play to you, good stuff. Yeah, blanching (the technical term for wot I dun described) seems like a bit of a faff, but it can be a hugely important step for a lot of things. Roughly 10% of people have the coriander-soap-taste gene, and to be honest, you are all a real hassle at dinner parties. Sure, I'll leave the coriander out of the guacamole. How about I chop off my toes for you as well?

I was working for a guy just before Christmas, we pulled a big leaning sycamore over with a digger... six 4m slings all shackled together... definitely not the most elegant or aesthetic of solutions, but by golly, you can't argue with the physics of them. Nothing escaping from that.
