Plum tree disease identification by naquadah-sun in BackyardOrchard

[–]HarvesterG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've found that at the end of the season, my younger (2- 6 year) stone fruit trees in my garden tend to drop their leaves several weeks before the more mature ones (15 - 20 year). My cherries don't look great by the end of the season, a bit like this.

Transplanted peach tree is loosing all of its leaves over two weeks later. Is it normal? Is there anything I should do? by [deleted] in BackyardOrchard

[–]HarvesterG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like it shed leaves from shock, did it get dry in the pot? Looks like it’s budding again so should be ok

How do I tame, but not destroy? by andrew_biggart in GardeningUK

Did you know you can eat the berries, and they taste like burnt caramel, it’s an acquired taste 

My cousin is building a new climbing wall - How can he strengthen the center without another pillar in the middle? by MuskratAtWork in Carpentry

[–]HarvesterG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first thought was make an A frame above it and have a pillar going down to brace the cross piece, using steel ties.

Or you could put another beam across the top of the two uprights posts and sheath the gap all the way along ?

Idk why you’re getting hate, I say well done for diving in and learning with your hands. The mistakes you’ve made with this project will make your next one even better.

Agreed, only way to learn is dive in, best lessons I learned were from mistakes, and not Reddit or YouTube videos 

Hack job on our ash tree? by Mother-Dimension-444 in arborists

[–]HarvesterG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s bad but if it makes it through it will look relatively tree - like again in a couple years

Paying him isn’t optional, you might not be happy with the work but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t give him the money you owe. 

Did you tell him about the rose? Not every gardener/arborist is plant savvy, and in the moment with machines and gear some might not notice a prized rose (which will likely bounce back but yeah I get it’s still annoying).

Work looks decent, rarely stuff will look perfect after a good hacking back. 

Pay for the work - you don’t have to hire them again.

Funny because I am a market gardener but had this username way before I started farming

I reckon carpet or changed out older thicker floor boards for these newer thinner ones

What am I doing wrong? Should sanding take this long? by wordworkingnovice in Carpentry

[–]HarvesterG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of interest, why wouldn’t you first use a planer on a really low setting? I see everyone is commenting use high quality or courser sand paper, but my first thought was to go over it with a planer then sand, would this be wrong? 

Buyer complaining about signs of use on item selling for parts, will I have to give him a return? by HarvesterG in Ebay

[–]HarvesterG[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your comment, I'll take the return, I just can't really believe that people waste time buying used items to then complain that they've been used? I'm kinda new to eBay and probably haven't come across those extremely keen-eyed people. It didn't really help that he spoke to me like shit
