    you only tap once a year in the spring and only when the sap is rising you can collect mapel which you all know about the other famous on is birch, which comes from our northern european countries but you can also tap and turn to wines, sycamore, walnut theres a few others but i cant remember them, must have made poor wines other wise they stay in the brain cells, lol i did my birch trees three weeks ago in the last warm spell and it was poor to ok, so you are still in luck waiting for the main flows

    dead simple, its made by the same people that make the creo coat. lol everyone things its two seperate firms its not, they are just outside of liecester and when you go there they sell both sorts, all you have to do is turn up with some form of proof of trade or professional useage.

    your running out of time for the sap collecting, its more the start of march rather than aprill in the midlands the way to do it is to drill the tree in march and watch, when the first tree starts then drill the rest PDQ average is a gallon per tree and then seal the hole. if you boil it down like maple sugar its about 5 litres in and a small bottle out. lol we do wine mainly

    i own a mk6 350 trany lwb high top. i need to buy a spare tyre for it i have all ready 215/75/16R a size of tyre i wish to stay with but looking through fleebay for a complete spare has confused me, tyres are advertised as having rims with 5J AND 5.5J , 6J AND 6.5J so i take it there rim widths and being a wide tyre do i need to also have a 6.5J rim ?? i see wheel sets advertised with 5.5J and still having 215/75/16R tyres as well as 215/75/16R on 6.5J rims which is correct also where do i look on the wheels i have now to find the rim width numbers is it stamped as 6.5J some wher

    totally amazed at the whole set up. the only thing that i was thinking of, was he was the one of a band they were looking out for and managed to nick one rather than the group so went to town on him for it but £2k is massive this is why i dont bother to go hunter real animals as its to much out of my wallet size and risk

    I want to build a real life version on the ammo poster i have in my man cave. on it it has 2G, 4G, 6G and 8gauge hulls on it, i have found a 10Gauge and have millions of 12 gauge shell hulls but does anyone have any of the following sizes to sell me. ideally i am looking at two of each caliber. i am willing to send an SAE and they are not to be live but the empty hulls only i shall refold the crimps but leave them empty on the shelf, so would suit over sized or over shot or split hulls. these are for display purposes only and its irrellivent of what they are just the shape and si

    with bee keeping you can put as much or as little input as you want depends w hat you want out of it. most people do one or two hives and make 10 to 30 jars of honey and think thats ok for the nomimal time they put into it and if thats what you want then fine i run 25 hives -nationals on 12" by 14" with four supers if needed all supers are standard 5" have enough frames and equipemnt to do a lot more, i breed my own queens and harvest all hive products and class honey as a side line crop producing only 25%-35% of the financle harvest from each hive i would expect from each hive t

    I was greatly honorred today when i was with a friend of mine . he is big collector of weapons and we were able to run through his selection of shotguns. so i posted this question in the reloading section as the hulls are not shop brought and i wish to discuss figures of load data as a point of discussion. I had been to the shop to buy shells in most sizes .410, 12g, 16g, 20g, but not the big three he has 10G, 8G and 4G.He himself admits that the 4g and 8g are really just for accademic study rather than practical use but stated that the 10g does still have a place in the hunting w

    basically its just that a shotgun that is recorded as de activaed so off ticket, but the only way i know to blow one up is to double shell load it and squease the trigger. but how does one then legally have the weapon removed from your ticket and classed as buggerd. and is it or will it affect any thing to do with my ticket. i was thinking that this is something that the proof houses were set up for and because of and do for a living and also do the paper work to prove it. so how does one do all of the paper work our selves

    cheers for the tips peeps ok so stand by , this is not a joke this is for real, honest for real i want to give as a present to my friend a shotgun instructor a shotgun with the breech blown out or exploded or some such thing. its so he can use it as a safety message to others. this is what happens when you mix cartridges ext and this goes bang next to your face now getting hold of a cheap shot gun to destroy is easy to do. i know someone with one for sale for £25 for a knackerd SxS this then leaves two options . take it to the quarry load it and hold a blooming
