    Yes it was a mixed larch (sphn) and oak fell. Also sweet chestnut, birch etc. It was all old oak coppice and not been managed for a century. Frankly the oak was fkd; half at least of it was dead.

    Hi. Picture if you will a 15 acre woodland on a mild slope. Recently clearfelled. We've now got over 200 absolutely massive oak stumps. The smallest is 4 foot diameter and the largest easily over 10ft diameter. They are also quite high as there was no chainsaw big enough to get to the bottom of the stump if you get me. Some are nearly 6ft high. Currently a bit vexxed about what to do with them. We don't want them there for replanting. Thinking either dig out and bury or mulch but don't think there's a mulcher big enough! Either way it's a big old undertaking and we want a blank canvas. Appreciate your thoughts.

    We had 1000 tonnes of oak felled last year. In Gloucestershire. Haven't been paid for it yet. So there are certain contractors / agents to avoid. Won't name publicly but do private message me if you want to be forewarned.

    Can't get my head round anyone having the time to make and execute all that. Can't really see the point of it either. Boys with toys. Better than drugs I suppose. But still can't believe anyone has the time and / or inclination. Certainly not a luxury I'll ever have. If I had trillions I'd still have to work in the real world.

    Did the customer specify a tower block development in the wood? Bad practice like that! What's the world coming to?!

    Best we've found. And boy do we get some sludge. It's nothing to do with Sulphur, but biodiesel content

    Thanks. Thought as much. Saves extracting it I suppose! Rake and burn or mulch it is then.

    Hello. Does anyone know current prices paid for biomass e.g. brash / tops / low grade timber from a clearance site? Probably iro 300-400 tonnes of material for chipping. Location Somerset. I've not approached the usual suspects as I would prefer to deal with smaller concerns if I can, not Jenkinson et al. Thanks.
