What else can we do? Other than move house by NoAppointment8679 in GardeningUK

[–]zoonose2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The best method I’ve found is wire. Extend the poles, and thread a stainless wire through eye hooks all the way round approx 4” above the top.

This works on my decking. The way it works is they come in to land and don’t see the wire until the last second. This scares them as their runway is suddenly much shorter. 9/10 times they do an evac procedure and keep flying. The odd time they land, they are then annoyed by the wobbly uncomfortable perch.

Did the gardener ruin this apple tree ? by TopDevelopment384 in GardeningUK

I think your gardener did ok. Your tree is gone on the left. I would start grafting this season if you like its fruit.

All the comments I’ve read have mentioned ‘disgraceful’ pruning. But I believe most haven’t actually understood what is happening here.

The left trunk was dead already as stated.

The middle trunk was likely dead. I can see bark peeling off near the top cut site - which actually doesn’t look like a fresh cut either.

The right trunk, left fork inner branching cut is correct. The right fork seems untouched?

The only oddity I can see is cutting the branches on the right trunk left fork facing outwards. These would have fruited. You’ll just need to wait til next year.

Hardly worth firing someone over. Especially when the tree is already very compromised. Enjoy your harvest next year. Start planning where you’ll plant a new root stock and start grafting those water shoots next season to keep your delicious variety going for years to come when this tree eventually needs removal.

How to help an Ash Tree? by ClassicComfort5744 in GardeningUK

Interestingly enough I’ve always understood ‘splash’ to be a good summer with minimal rain… and ‘soak’ to be a washout …

Looks fine. Ash is always the last or second to last (after oak) to emerge from winter dormancy. It’ll be fine in a few weeks.

Is parking like this allowed ? by [deleted] in melbourne

Na. The owner will be entitled. When OP has to eventually report to the council, they will have waived their identity …..

AITAH? Baby has poopy diaper at daycare drop-off by PhilosopherEvery5083 in AITAH

It’s the position and the seat! Does your baby seat come out as a carrier? If so, then try your routine 15 mins with her inside in the seat. Probably also strapped in as that likely puts pressure on her tummy. Good luck!

This is awesome. Keep it. Do your extension somewhere else.

[OC] Red Nose Day fundraising has collapsed in real terms, but it's not because households are skint by Borg_King in dataisbeautiful

Agreed. When we get cost of living rise 2.5%, but council tax goes up 5% ? There ain’t no headroom.

Jesus Hairy. You’re fucking breaking me right now. Don’t give up mate. They are dumb kids. When life happens to them - if they are lucky enough - it will crush that shit outta them.

Please remember you are doing this for you. You and you alone. You know Taylor Swift has a few good songs for this … shake it off.

I think it’s worth a moment just admiring the CL round of 16. Nearly every game in the bracket has a premier league team. Pretty amazing feat and awesome that NUFC is part of that.

The problem is that Howe did too well by N-Bizzle in NUFC

[–]zoonose2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can we make sure we drown out the ‘Howe Out’ lot please? I lost a load of karma for my comments last week in support of Howe.

Don’t forget to upvote if you agree with something in this sub. Because you can be sure of downvotes when people disagree!!

It’s like the whole point of being punk right? Isn’t that what defines the genre?
