Once the trees get big like that if its densely forested you really don't have to trim under them. Mine are getting to the point that the branches near the ground just touch on trees 9 feet apart. Eventually some of them will be trimmed up to 18', once the touching branches get above 6 feet I

I know the german oaks are managed on a 400 year crop cycle.   I would not be surprised it the timber floors are kept clean.   My grandfather did.   I used controlled burning to clear the junk.   Oaks thrive on fire.  The state forester told me so.   From what I observed, I believe he was

Maybe one needs to do like the F250 diesel repairs for blown head gaskets.  Swap the bolts for head studs. For whatever reason, they hold better. Maybe better quality steel so they don't stretch as readily. RB On 15/01/2019 10:41 AM, Mitch Haley via Mercedes wrote: Here a guy says the head

Here a guy says the head gaskets leak after the dealer fixes them, so it's up to the driver to tear it apart, have the heads resurfaced, and put it back together right. The problem seems to be that four bolts aren't enough to secure a head on a 2L turbo diesel cylinder, at least not one that

Is it just me, or are German forests kept /in ordnung/ just like everything else?  Do they have forest clean-up crews come in to groom them every few weeks?  Mow and trim, spread some new mulch around?  I guess it is good for fire suppression. You will need a yellow vest to go with the blue
