Oakley asked can you cut a hazel stick same as a willow, sick it in the ground, wil it grow. I still say no. Jok.
-
Taking it a step further then. I, for years and years, have used willow for both runner bean and pea sticks in my garden. Each year they bud and leaf even forming roots. I then take them out after harvest, bundle them up and put them away for next year. Last year I was gifted 2 bundles of ash and hazel. They dried out within 4/5 weeks . No chance whatsoever of regrowth. Now maybe young shoots, given a growth hormone might propagate but adult branches, in my opinion. Will not. Jok.

I think we all know that the RSPCA are complete knobs so no surprise there. Jok.

Troyboy. There's your answer. TBH I've mainly used a yacht varnish and have no problem with either gloss or Matt. I also use a polish which is nice when finishing on the lathe, but that is because it's spinning at speed and you can get the heat up. Adam. Stockpot is sending me some roe antler with which I' m going to another thumbstick (hopefully). The crown looks a bit thicker than the last one so might be able to put it on a heavier stick. PM Me if you wish. Jok.

No mate. You can't. Willow and some poplar varieties will certainly take root over time. Hazel certainly will not. Jok.

Well f**k me sideways. I honestly thought that a seed potatoe was a seed potatoe. I'll now change everything my great grandfather, my grandfather, my father and all the fellows I've ever met down the allotment and elsewhere have. Taught me. I'm now hoping for a super crop. Thanks for the heads up. Lol. Jok -
Fran. What would buy them pal? Jok. (PM me if you want).

No.

You learn something every day you are breathing. I read today in a gardening magazine that you should leave all the chits on early potatoes but restrict main crop to 3 chits which gives a higher yield of tubers. Now, clearly I'm thick. The farmers round me employ loads of European labour but to date, I've never heard of any of them cleaning seed potatoes prior to setting. All the crop goes to a certain frozen food company so Inwould imagine tuber size is uber important. Any thoughts gents? Jok. -
Northernlite. PM me pal. I hate having things wrong. I usually do my dambest to get things right. Jok.
-
PM On it's way. Jok.
-
Northernlite. Sorry to hear that pal. Normally I grind the points off. Must have missed that one. Not sure what I can do now. Jok.
-
Sorry should have said. That's just the kind I'd like to work with. Anyone on here help out? Jok.

FCKG ace pal. Jok.

I keep checking all the roadkill for collars. Lol. No luck yet. Jok.

At the risk of being boring Matt, you need to catch the humble Zander. You said you coulbn't fail lol. Why Florida and elsewhere if you can't do it in your own backyard?? My family are starving mate. Jok.

Got exactly that ready Griff. If you remember I was using a nice piece of leather for the shoulder straps on the boxes. Absolutely spot on. No chance of bruising. I'll ask if the fly press is surplus and if so it's yours. No silly promises here though. If you would like to see some of my friends work, go to Tony Glover Cues ltd. he has the most amazing workshop. Jok.

Well guys. Very happy days. My daughter just came indoors with my birthday present. A current team Scotland shirt to be signed, courtesy of my brother and a few non mentionable name drops. . So come on you guys and I'll meet you under the stand at the Greenyards in Melrose, pen in hand. I'd possibly buy them all a drink. Jok.
-
Griff. Got a real serious problem.lol. My wellies are Aigle and I can't work out which bit to cut. Haha. Jok.
-
Spot on Griff, good man. Good job as I've sourced some coins locally. Found something else as well. A fly press. Apparently does the same job. Jok.
-
Wow. What a bonus. Don't they look majestic. Jok.

WK here we go again. Lol. Jok.

Who the hell lets these nuts on here? Ian. Surely this must be discouraged. They are flipping barmy. Jok.

Good old Bill. Stalwart. Best of the second rows ever. Bit of an ugly bugger. Apart from Jim, ( oh gosh, name drop), who is arguably uglier, or should I say battle scarred, shame that he's had to stoop so low. And in Wales to boot. Haha. Jok.
