hicksy2<p>Yesterday I received excellent service and courteous, professional replies to e-mail from a city council where I did not expect this. And dreadful customer service from a large retailer where this should have been baked in. And Google photos reminded me I cut a tree down four years ago. It has all recovered nicely now. I should have gone to the plot and built some supports for a vine rather than trying to buy anything. <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/sheffield" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sheffield</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/pollarding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pollarding</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/allotment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>allotment</span></a></p>
Malte RodI love coppicing and other kinds of resprout agriculture. I'm on my second cycle of a willow and alder copse l. Someone said you could count a person's age in how many cycles they've gone through.

Anne Stobart<p>Two-year-old sprouting willow stems on a pollarded willow, planted as an ornamental, so maybe violet willow (Salix daphnoides) or purple willow (Salix purpurea). This darker-coloured bark will be rich in salicin, giving us anti-inflammatory salicylic acid when ingested. But incredibly bitter tasting!
