    Make a shed from wood in woodland or buy cheap wooden one?

    You would be able to dig the postcrete out later but I get your point. I think you potentially need to be a bit realistic on what's achievable though. Felling your trees to build to then have to replant seems a bit odd to me.

    Oh yeah, go bigger! You want somewhere that get's enough deliveries on pallets that they just get in the way.

    Make a shed from wood in woodland or buy cheap wooden one?

    Postcrete is not a super permanent thing. I can't comment on the longer term impact of introducing it to woodland if abandoned later but I wouldn't be worried about not being able to remove a structure with it later. It's a simple concrete - pour water in hole, tip in postcrete, wait a few...

    Find an industrial type park near you - there's one by me that have a sign out that you can take them for free. Facebook marketplace often has them free, as does freecycle. I get more than I can use through work ( a school). I've taken to chopping them up and burning them as it's easier for me...

    Make a shed from wood in woodland or buy cheap wooden one?

    Build one out of reclaimed materials, not your trees. Look up pallet sheds. You can do a really good job for little cost. You can get good timber left over from building jobs too. For my shed, the only thing I bought was cladding on two sides for aesthetics plus screws and strap hinges...

    New frying pan

    On the subject of cast iron, a while back I bought some Cousances casserole dishes second hand for a bargain price. The lady told me that Cousances are as good as Le Creuset but less well known and I believe her! A quick search of ebay flags this set which is ending soon...

    and one more - just opened up on my PC and the tab icon (favicon?) is a settings picture not the BCUK symbol as before. Just in case you hadn't noticed / hadn't changed it on purpose.

    I thought it might be my device so sort of glad it’s not! I can live with it but it is a glitch!

    Another odd one for your list @Lithril ! I’m getting stuttering on pages here when scrolling on my phone. It’s not happening on other sites and it’s since the update. Have fun and sorry!!

    So who grows things?

    It might be worth you looking at no dig and giving that a try. Potentially less demanding on the body.

    So who grows things?

    If you like squash, have a look at real seeds. They’ve got some trial seeds in now for some smaller squash plants that they think will work well for smaller spaces.

    A bit of Whittling

    I thought they must have been light woods to start with as they’re more common. The darkening has gone well and it highlights the detail well. Staining is probably more effective than starting with a dark wood.

    A bit of Whittling

    Yeah, I can see why you have doubts about being able to carve! :biggrin: They look fab. What wood have you used / what aging process have you gone through? The new match the old pretty well.

    The name / avatar top right isn’t there as standard for me on my phone. I only have lightning bolt, burger dots and magnifier. If I flip my phone to landscape the rest pops up so it’ll be something to do with available screen res.
