Thanks for the mention, always great to meet like minded people. The flail is great, I’ll be giving it a real go on Monday alongside the zanon. Sorry to hear about the frustration with mental health care and crisis teams. I’ve been there, you end up organising it yourself which is exhausting. As you say they promise the world but in reality their hands are tied. My wife’s medication has just become unavailable, the pharmacy have said try something to else but the whole point was it was one of the few that worked for her with the least side effects.
Glad to hear the flail is good. The last few days here have been crazy, with no let up. I hope you get the meds sorted, it’s absolutely exhausting to keep chasing something that’s impossible to catch.
@@AbellToJust watched the rest. I hope Karen is on the up. The field out the back of yours. Is it your field? Could it be used for grazing? Favour Or do you get paid to cut it? Being nosy sorry.
@@twcmaker thanks mate, Karen is in hospital now, and the field is a paid job, I’d love to own the field and have animals on it and more trees of course
Friend, you're not alone with all the healthcare BS. I was just thinking of your lovely wife and yourself. Try to get your lovely wife to create something she can give to a random passerby, like her awesome wood burning. Art heals and keeps the hands busy. But my uninformed suggestions are worth about as much as you paid for them! LOL, Zippo! Hey you mentioned something here about Frost or wet effect on hazel! You have me optimistic that this could be what I was dealing with. I keep watering and it keeps dying! We don't have well-draining soil; more clay than anything. So, if I did a bowl hole to plant a tree, it fills with water and kills the roots. I usually dig a bowl then drain ditches so the water can move out from under the roots. But, I did not know there was a frost/freeze blight for hazel. Tell me more when you get time. I will do a video on my dying tree here.
I’ve tried to reply to your video. Must admit it’s difficult to diagnose but yours looks very sick. In clay I dig a box shaped hole and loosen the soil in the bottom of the hole and spike it too with a fork to try to encourage better drainage. Hazel is normally very resilient. The site I mentioned was unbelievably wet all winter and currently has standing water even in June.
@@AbellTo Thanks! It was wet so I am hoping it will improve now. I will coppice it this Winter and hopefully it will come back healthy...or just cack. lol

Thank you Colin
