    tree trunk regrowth?

    I want bushes with berries for my garden, it is a private space. I want the presence of birds and berries will attract them in winter when there's snow on the ground. And isn't it a good thing that berries come out the other end of a bird? Surely this is how more bushes are made?

    Cereal - a bushcrafters staple?

    I like these words: 'real nature' ! No, I agree with you there Janne. If I were in real nature, I would prob have venison for breakfast.

    tree trunk regrowth?

    That sounds nice. I'm planting everything for benefit of wildlife, so I am sure I can find an alternative, as I don't think Photinia has berries on it in the winter for birds ?

    Cereal - a bushcrafters staple?

    I like to make this brekkie because it is such a PAIN to clean pot after making porridge and quite frankly cereal is just not going to cut it when out in the woods: one egg mixed with grated pumpkin/carrot/sweet potato in any combination and couple of tbsp of peanut butter (with the crunch) then...

    What did you buy today?

    I just bought a trail cam AT LAST. Plumped for the Apeman 16MP after spending far too long doing research. Just a cheap(ish) version to start with, may upgrade if I find I am capturing a lot of action. When I put food out in my garden it has always disappeared by morning, I have seen a fox come...

    tree trunk regrowth?

    I would like a couple of silver birches for my garden eventually. I need them to be part of a screen (with hedging underneath) so I will prob buy some larger trees from a nursery and cheat to get instant height.

    Hares

    I saw my first hare close up the other day at dusk. I managed get to within about 15 yards of it and at one point I didn't think it was real as it had not moved one whisker. Then it ran away. Saw it later up on the hill just sitting watching me again. I always loved this little ditty and I...

    tree trunk regrowth?

    Thanks for all your replies, so it seems that my trunks are giving out one last effort to come into leaf using the stored energy inside them. I've propped it up against my wire fence in the garden and it looks very nice. Plan to turn it into some kind of bird station eventually maybe even try to...

    The cost.

    I love to go with natural fibres @MrEd ! @treadlightly did an experiment a few years ago where he was only wearing natural fibres wool, cotton, silk, leather etc. outdoors. I'm not sure how he got on with it but he was very committed at the time, I remember. I am all in favour of paying more for...

    tree trunk regrowth?

    We salvaged a mature silver birch trunk from a garden last year when it was chopped down. It is in two pieces, both of them are about 5 foot high and about 2 handspans in circumference with clean cuts at both ends. I leant both of them up against the house, sheltered from the rain and they have...
