You should let them grow to about a foot taller than the final height you want then cut them to the height you want. If you cut back the main stem too soon you will have more bush than height.

Thanks for the info - it would be one of those which is similar to a pair of bicycle handlebars with an engine strapped underneath.

I have been erecting a panel fence over the last few months alongside an established Leylandii hedge (doing a couple of panels a month to spread the cost). I have been using metposts to take the 3"x3" posts but now I am getting to the older trees and the roots are preventing the metposts from...

Hop over here and don't drop the salad! I love black pudding but it's getting harder to find it, also like haggis. Had a plate of lambs hearts a couple of days ago - lovely!

Can only think of Kilmarnok!

I saw a TV programme a few years ago where Hugh Fearnley-Wittingstall made various dishes from a placenta. The woman who had given birth invited her friends to partake of the food and they also planted a tree to celebrate the birth of the child. They even managed to get a vegetarian to eat some...

I agree with AdamW's point that smoking is not pleasurable - I am amazed as to why people do it. I tried it many years ago and once was enough to put me off.

Are you saying these don't exist!?

Refurbishment going on where I am working and stuff being thrown into the skip. I now have some (quite expensive) overhead storage lockers and a new workbench for my garage - gratis!

Seems a fair question to ask and a good point made that there would be objectors to a BNP march. I remember a National Front march in Oxford years ago, a load of locals (white, black, brown) turned up to kick the cr*p out of the NF lot.

Priceless! I am crying with laughter - "he didn't look that odd!"

Fighting never really ended. After claiming the English throne, William I still fought to maintain his territories in Normandy & France and that was continued throughout the centuries by his successors.

If you are thinking of the Hundred Years war that was 14th & 15th centuries.

That might be so but written word was in Latin for many centuries after tha time, English as written word had yet to develop.

I'm pretty sure that this is how the words were also spelled in GB at that time. The 'u' came about later through influences from French language, so the US way of spelling is closer to the original than the current 'English' spellings.
