Makes sense, thank you very much.

Yeah it was pretty obvious if you don't use Damus though 😂

Yeah that occured to me too so she has been prewarned. Should taste far better anyway with all the soil ammends that have gone in these last few years.

Beautiful 😍

Thank you I will look out for that definitely get a lot of cool summers in England!

This is an heirloom popping #corn called 'Strawberry' anyone grown it or something similar?

I never have much luck with growing corn but the child is demanding fancy popcorn!

Easily the best punk band of the last decade or so, can't get that guitar out of my head 🙉

Yeah was a bit of stretch they just moved around like them and were red. They are the most dangerous thing we have Hobbiton apart from the psycho pheasant that I had to cosh with a bucket of biochar a few weeks back. 😆

Could it be these guys? Considering you live it doesn't seem poisonous or venomous enough 😆

Certainly didn't help especially with the damage done by tractor flail cutters Vs traditional hedge laying. Along with all the modern farming practices that have degraded the soil.

Oh yeah. They like to clamp your car nowadays if you haven't paid and they find it on the street. Happened to quite a few people round here after the lockdowns and people stopped paying because they weren't making any money.

Bit different from the 80's when my friend used to tell me he would drive round rural Scotland without a license, road tax and insurance driving past police cars with some chickens flying around in the vehicle 😆

Do you think this will work? 🤣

Garlic works on all vampires including the state? That's good to know 😁. I better plant some near the front door too just to be certain!

Good idea I do need to make some willow rooting compound. I put the cutting near a willow so hopefully they are getting exudates from it.

Apparently these Elms root easily and part of the reason the 'Dutch elm disease' is meant to have hit them so hard is they rarely grew from seed so were meant to have been genetically very similar propogating from suckers etc.

Unfortunately most were dead by the time I was born so I am mostly just going by what people say.

These two trees are some of the only surviving English Elms (Ulmus minor 'Atinia') surviving outside of East Sussex. Why?... No one knows I reckon it could be to do with the nearby stream and spring providing something to them which they didn't have elsewhere in the country though it could also be some kind of genetic resistance.

Either way I have taken some cutting to try to propogate them. Unfortunately someone has lifted the crown of the tree recently so I had to get some off the ground but hopefully they will take with some of the #bokashi and #amf #fungiI have been making.

Either way it would be nice to have these trees back all over the country and the wood has beautiful grain pattern for furniture and is resistant to water so it was used to use it for waterpipes!

This tree is sick, it's an Ash tree (Fraxinus Excelsior ) according the tree surgeons that pollarded it, it's got Ash dieback. They just wanted to coppice it and probably stump grind it too.

Can't let the Yggdrisil the world tree die can we? If Odin can't hang himself in the tree he's probably just going to end up getting pissed at Wetherspoons with a kebab on the way home, instead of driving round his fancy Morgan sport car.

So we are not going to give them another job until it needs pollarding again because of the overhead cables. So it's getting 10L of bokashi with Amf watered in. If that doesn't work perhaps I will have to build something to blast the amf down there!

Lets all hope Yggdrisil gets better 😁🤞

If there is food for them and it's moist they will live there. They even appear in gutters if people don't clean them out regularly.

Yeah but it's because the bureaucracy really don't like "development' or 'dwellings' on woodland. Probably helps set a precident or something so if I remember they had to write a load of code for him e.g I dont he can sell it to anyone and if he moves he has to demolish it. Something like that.

It's not super easy but not as bad as you think it is. If you get away with it for long enough without complaint you can do it in the U.K. I think it just needs to be there for 7 years or so. It's easier in Wales too if it's a low impact house and you are earning a living from the land. In England too Ben Law did it in his woodland. Maximus Ironthumper on YouTube have done it too. He has a good video on how to do it.
