The hidden bustling world of hedgerows     (www.bbc.com)

One British ecologist who spent two years monitoring an old, diverse hedgerow near his home counted an astonishing 2,070 species visiting and inhabiting it – mostly insects, but also mammals, lizards, mosses and fungi. Birds and mice used the hedge for shelter and nesting. Spring and summer blossoms attracted moths, flies and beetles, while berries helped nourish birds and small mammals over the autumn and winter.

This photo shows my bowls of veggies, carrots, potatoes, celery, onion. The smaller cups have the salt, pepper, bay leaf, thyme, and garlic.
Next I’ll cut up the tri-tip and load it into the jars, followed by these bowls of goodness. I can only do seven jars at a time. I’m gonna be at it all day.

bros, @Master_Foo cast aspersions on my DIY aborist skills. Tossed and turned all night. So here's some pics of my kit. You might get some hints to improve your ladder safety?     (Homesteading)

You'll kill yourself either by electrocution, or chopping off a hand, or falling and breaking your neck.Use the pole saw. That's the best tool for the job. Or hire an arborist.".

My piece-de-resistance is a harness I fashioned which I attach by carabiners to climbers' rope threaded through the rungs of the ladder. I suspect, though, my greatest tree-climbing asset is my light frame.

**Product Review" - Pocket Chainsaw     (www.surviveoutdoorslonger.com)

Fit for purpose if confined to its purpose i.e. cutting up sticks for camp fires but not suited to pruning trees mainly because the chain can turn itself around to its non-cutting side and the thing can get stuck meaning you somehow need to be able to reach it with a pole. YouTube is full of videos about the perils of using pocket chainsaws to prune tall trees.

No.1 piece of advice if you're thinking of buying one of these for tree-pruning...get the (more expensive) doubled-sided chainsaw.

It seems to cut small diameter wood (10 cms) adequately. Not sure how long the saw would remain sharp.

lawnmower talk with dass (rugged types only need apply)     (i.ibb.co)

Hi @dassar

You were inquiring about my lawnmowers. Dude I have three. A small cord one; a small battery one and a monster battery one (see pic). The mower in the pic is the fearsome Victa 82V. Identical I think to the yank Snapper.

I've had a few dud 2 ah batteries with the Victa but the current battery is a 4 ah and I've had good value with it. But, dass,it would have been a better buy to get the Stihl RMA 510 battery op mower because [to be cont'd][Missus is yakking]

Sorry, dass. When the missus is in full flight she wants my undivided attention.Also since we were last chatting I've driven 4 hours from the Coast to Australia's capital. Anyway...I think the Stihl RMA 510 would have been the better mower to buy because its batteries are probably better. My reason for saying this is the reviews of the Stihl seem pretty good and don't mention battery issues and the two batteries I use in my baby stihl lawnmower (RMA 235) still work fine after a few years. I was going to buy the stihl but at the last moment switched to the Victa. The Victa 82v is now a discontinued line and when my Victa battery dies I'll get the Stihl 510 like I should have.

If you liked that, dass, please click the like button and subscribe to my channel. Thanks.

Paul go clean our your cellar.

As you would know, bro, most of Aus has been hit with a massive rain-bomb. I would have talked more about the consequential flooding but after Hurricane Ian in Florida I feel that in the competitive-suffering stakes...Florida wins hands down.

Anyway...back to me. Yes the cellar has flooded but...but my gravity hose, which was suggested to me by a bro goat, works fabulously well. This means I can let it run overnight without monitoring unlike with the electric pump. So...I turn the electric pump on to get the water flowing. Turn it off. Stick my finger in the hose end to keep the suction and then just stick it in the water and bob's your uncle!

Sleeping in a tent can be one of life's rewarding experiences. Rain pelting down and you're protected by a mm of material. Snug, cosy. Night sounds. Slithers.Frogs.Birds.

except kikes like you would tear it all down and pave over it to put up section 8 housing for more non White niggers and sand niggers, because kikes know they are halfbreeds so they want to make Whites the same as them

it's so fucking pathetic, you kikes deserve death

Never, AP, never. I am an outdoors type. In fact I sleep in a tent in the backyard it's so nice. Done so for 15 years. Neighbours must think I'm whacko.
