  1. Pretty much as stated. Kept aside a decent number of straight ends when I was trimming it out, usually they were at the very top, put a point on the end of them, scraped the bark a bit in the first foot or so, and pushed them in to the ground as far as they'd go. Haven't been back near them since as I've had plenty else on my plate but will probably go down for a look at that particular area in the next week or so and see how they're doing.
  2. I asked something similar a few months ago. Seems they're pretty bullet proof, although I'll know better in a years time when I can see how successful I've been.
  3. The apples being left to rot and feed the ground presumably also increases the productivity of the trees. Usually the balance is the other way!
  4. Is that a euphemism for something perverse?
  5. Jeez man, people pay good money to get a workout like that!
  6. Anything free is always worth the effort!
  7. ..............whilst drunk!
  8. Probably something like plum or cherry. They are related after all.
  9. Me neither actually. Who knows. 🤷‍♂️
  10. Conversely, if you read it on the internet it must be true? There's bullshit everywhere.
  11. For balance. Infosys did not work on emergency alerts system - Full Fact FULLFACT.ORG Claims that Rishi Sunak’s father-in-law’s company got the emergency alerts contract are going viral.
  12. That's an appalling statement. Goats are generally quite intelligent.
  13. When reality is stranger than fiction. Sounds like something from a 70's Woody Allen film.
  14. Proper funny man, plainly very intelligent and sharp as a tack. Barry Humphries: Dame Edna Everage comedian dies at 89 WWW.BBC.CO.UK The Australian was known for comic creations such as Dame Edna, Sir Les Patterson and Sandy Stone.
  15. Yes you should, that's quite a revelation if accurate.
  16. I already have the XGT blower, and very pleased with it, so have batteries available. They label it as 40v max, but it is effectively a 36v system. At present I'm using the 36v (labelled 40v max) 2.5ah battery which is essentially the 18v 5ah battery but wired differently,they were just over £90 each. It's a relatively new system so everything in it has a price premium compared to the long established 18v, but as it gets better established (as it no doubt will) hopefully there may be more deals to be had.
  17. I'd actually be buying on the Makita XGT (36v) system, so it would be a very similar machine just with one battery instead of the two. They actually do a twin 36v battery machine now which has a 2000w motor so double the power, but it's silly money and you'd no doubt still be constrained by work time.
  18. Certainly does, I'd instinctively feel that I'd have greater control and accuracy with the handlebars. So very useful to hear that the opposite is actually the case. Thanks.
  19. I've a 55cc Ryobi, well over 20yr old and still runs like the day it was new, original head, original clutch, only thing is has needed is a new fuel tank as it got knocked over a while ago and split the original one. It has cut a ridiculous amount of stuff over the years and usually runs with about a foot of line on it. But handy it ain't, and I'm thinking of something a bit more convenient for round the fruit trees, fruit bushes, garden edging, etc. Thus considering the loop even though I'd instinctively prefer handlebar. Therefore looking opinions of those with experience of both.
  20. It'd be a battery one which is why I'm considering the loop handle.
  21. For a strimmer/brushcutter obviously. Pros and cons, what is your preference and why?
  22. I dunno about that. Our local Kubota man, who has been selling and maintaining Kubota for 40 odd years, says that the F series mowers (that's the out front ones) are good for 10,000hrs with regular routine maintenance. See no reason why Iseki shouldn't be fit for similar. Take the odd notion for a compact with a loader, but realistically it probably wouldn't be up to most of what I'd be expecting of it. Already have pallet forks, etc, for my 3.5t digger and a 60hp Kubota with loader, so it's not really needed. But, well........................you know!
  23. You wouldn't bet against an outcome along those lines.
  24. Whatever happens, I bet there's some amount of shit flying about behind the scenes!
  25. At the same time, they (Sturgeon, Murrell, and associates), probably have a lot of dirt themselves on a lot of very high ranking people, and will be calling on a lot of help with their predicament "or else". So won't be surprised either if they ultimately dodge the hiding they deserve. Unfortunately!
