The conifer hedge is now removed. [img] The last stumps were taken out today. All bar one came out easily, there is always one is there not? It...
Generally speaking Conifers have fibrous roots rather than a long tap root. All I have done so far is to dig round the tree base, expose the...
Made a start on removing the conifer hedge. The stumps are much easier to move if I leave a good section of the trunk in place to use as a lever....
She will have to store the conifer wood for a couple of years before using it. The resin it releases can block the chimney. I think the amount of...
Even better is that she wants all the logs from the next stretch of conifer as well. I may have to cut that up for her myself though.
The neighbours who want the wood from the hedges came this afternoon and spent hours chain sawing the trunks into fire size lengths. Saved me a...
If we ever manage it, there is also a Leylandii hedge at the top of the garden which we would prefer to take out. Now that would be fun, it is...
Spent the day taking the conifer bits to the re-cycling place. Too much to shred and nowhere left to store them in any case. Worse thing is that...

Taken out another tree, Cupressus sempervirens. Do not understand why anyone would plant such a tree so near to the roadside.
Woodman came this morning and removed the dead tree from the roadside. £185 which is about half of what we had expected to pay. Took him about 1...
From this last March to [img] [img] [img] Last week. [img] [img] This today. [img] [img] Neighbour came and with a professional chain saw cut...
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Daft as it seems we actually moved here because there was supposed to be less work to do. Ah well, got to have somewhere to play.
Alongside the back of the Bungalow was a line of very over grown Heathers. [img] At one end was a very overgrown and weed infested Hydrangea....
