That's a great idea, and I'd like to subscribe to your vlog.

Beautiful garden, very dog-friendly.

Morning all, I don't suppose anyone has any data to hand showing the relative uptake of water in various woodland settings at different times of the year? Obviously it slows right down for broadleaf, but it carries on to an extent with evergreens, conditions dependent... I wonder if there's a handy table anywhere comparing it across seasons and species? Might be a bit too much to ask! I've been asked to plant a garden woodland in boggy ground, just want to discuss the whole range of options with the guy, from digging ponds and drainage to just firing in whips and walking away. Cheers dudes. Edit I've got this pdf from 2005 so far, hoping for something with a bit more meat on the bone though. fcin065.pdf

Maaate, that looks sublime. Ever made your own pasta? Toss that through a pile of rustic orechiette and you've got perfection.

If you are able to take down the trees and hedging safely yourself, you are also well able to throw it into a chipper from your local plant hire place yourself too, and it'll be a lot cheaper. Like others have said, I'd not be biting your hand off to tidy up a pile of shite someone else has made. That said, there are people out there who offer such a service, so you might get the job done just fine.

Ooh, I see it now. Yeah, I completely failed my reading comprehension there, I thought you were just having a dig at the younguns. Sorry chap.

He's a hoot all right!

Was that as a regular snack, or just for the craic, or what? How many at a time, fistfuls? I've just decided I'm going to make a batch of lacto-fermented hot sauce with just yew berries, red chillies, and salt. That should show the character of the fruit quite well. It lends itself to such predictable names as "Are Yew Insane?!" or "Yew'll Regret This!" I'll report back at some point in the future.

Odd thing to shoe horn in there. To the OP, a layer of membrane underneath manky old sheets can solve all sorts of problems... old polytunnel plastic, radon barrier, roof membrane, silage plastic... whatever you can find. Doesn't matter if there's a few holes rusted through the metal if any drips are carried away anyway. Kind of adds to the upcycled aesthetic, too!

Huh. Might give it a miss then. But then I wonder if they'd have any more noticeable qualities when prepared instead of raw, such as in a jam or chutney... either as a supporting player of in the lead role. I was gifted a jar of, oddly enough, giant hogweed chutney once... which is definitely one way of disposing of it I suppose, but against the onion, apple, marrow, and vinegar, it wasn't exactly prominent, and could even have been a lie. Who knows? But we stray further from the topic at hand. Do not feed yew to adults with learning difficulties, even if chutneyed.

Someone else said that a few posts back, very interesting. I wonder if they are actually pleasant, though, and worth the hassle. Might nibble on one the next time I see a yew, and report back. That's a fine looking climbing tree, perfect for youngsters to break their first bone in... or practice the avoidance thereof.

Regarding option 1, it is both berries AND needles that are poisonous. Quote should include the option to remove all needles from the trees too. Regarding point 4... I'd imagine the quantity of ingested laurel needed to get a bad result would in itself be protection enough. How many whole leaves need to be eaten to get the effect?

Yew berries do look delicious all right, it seems kind of unfair that are so perilous. Easily understandable that people with learning difficulties would be particularly at risk.

Good stuff. Any buried treasure?

Jesus man, charge your damn phone, I cannot deal with the stress of that 3%.

I saw it, absolutely mental. Yeah, big seas, I guess. Edit Thinking about it again, that was like Mark Watney in The Martian levels of "yep, you're f*cked." Crazy that they got him back!

Interesting. How quickly could you expect to see a significant response, with surface supplied available? Is that the sort of thing most countries have a few hours sailing away from anywhere on the coast, or is it a one or two capable vessels per country sort of thing? Presumably it's a lot quicker to throw together a scuba team, regardless of how suitable they'd be for a prolonged job? And how big a sea can people reasonably expect to see some kind of response in?

I heard on the radio it holds the record for the tallest aluminium mast? Might mean nothing, you know how facts can get garbled through reporting. And I think 50 meters down, but again, that was from earlier reports that might not mean anything.

Weather conditions maybe? I understand it was pretty stormy, which is what caused the problem in the first place. I've not been following it closely, but it's often the weather that hampers the best intentions of any rescue efforts.

You want to watch out for those Romanian mongrels, Baldric has a hole in the top of his head after being jumped by one. Sneaky buggers.

It does seem the obvious choice, yeah, and he's got a home here for as long as he needs, but I wouldn't want to take him away from the kids if they want to keep him. In the days and weeks immediately following, the dog was shunted around a few different places (including an alpaca farm, I think...?), but they eventually decided they wanted him back home. As for the kids... they are 14, 16, and a 22 year old from a previous marriage, with a 3 year old kid herself, so it isn't a case of them all being dragged off to the orphanage, thankfully. The 22 year old has naturally stepped into the role of matriarch over the last few years while her mother was dying, so she's got a hold on the situation already; and there was a huge display of support from the community with a fundraiser, so the mortgage can be paid for a long time yet at least. The bailiffs won't be kicking them out any time soon. Still... what an absolute c*nt of a situation to be dealing with. Back to dogs! I just tried uploading a minute of Oscar wrecking Loki's head, but the file was too large. But you can get the same visuals if you look at the last picture I posted, shake the screen from side to side a bit, and growl occasionally. Enjoy.

I flipping love pottering. Enjoy. Edit I was brought a jammy croissant, coffee, and orange juice in bed! What a treat. Now, on with the pottering.

Uh oh The wife wants to keep him now... So does the collie, he loves having a younger friend, and doesn't give him a second's peace. The brown fella though, he wants to get rid of both other dogs, both cats, both children, and go back to the good old days when he was our only child.

Seershuh. What are they on over here, honestly?! God didn't invent these letters for fun, they are supposed to mean something you know!
