Title: Hello
Post by: Old tree man on February 24, 2014, 06:42:06 pm

Just to say hello
I am a retired forester with 40yrs of trees behind me, I have grown vegetables all my life but still find I learn something new every day, I have kept chickens in the past but I have none at the moment and sorely miss my fresh eggs, I have tried to be fairly self sufficient as I tend to make most of what I need, at the moment I am building a summer house out of recycled timber so my disabled wife can join me in the veg patch and we can watch the sun go down over the north York moors, I will try to keep up with this techno stuff but I am really a Luddite at heart  :) so bear with me, I hope to learn new skills and share my knowledge with you also regards to you all  :tree:

Hello from the south of Scotland  :wave:

I'm looking forward to learning from you about trees.  Did you do any coppicing during your career?  I currently have a thread going on here about coppicing and would value your opinion.

That's the first link I've tried to do on here so I hope it works ok
