Look at the dead hedge on this Dep, get out and cut some branches, and make a dead hedge then we can compare dead hedges 

You know?

Is a " Dead Hedge " just lined up, cut shit then? (Want to see My Loppers? I promise I won't tell your mum! )

Actually interesting that you mention it. Because I Sprayed some vegetation a day or two ago. And I'm now dashing out there to peek at the results. Sort of hoping to see a 'Dead Hedge' effect appear.

Caught three robins in the last 24 hours. One was a 3j, interestingly @Mr Wilkes

Couple of dozen Field Maple cuttings, hopefully a few take root to be transplanted later

Scrape the bark off the bottom couple of inches, I've dipped half of these in rooting powder to see if there's any difference 

Put the last lot in plant pots, and most of them rooted

Aye, thought it was a thunderstorm through the night, but it was trees being uprooted and some even broken off halfway up the trunks, looked like the opening scene from The Terminator circa 1984 this morning lol

It's dangerous mate, there must have been about 30 trees either flattened, broken, or leaning ready to fall that I could see this morning, then the road down the bank was in a hell of a state, looked like some serious weight had landed on the static caravans
