Buy the bread? You can mek it at home for free!

"Make" would use more energy then buying stale bread.

Just use the bits leftover or the crusts your kids refuse to eat.

The irony is that within a couple of years those chopped branches will grow back thicker and busher than ever!

Sadly not, it's a fir.

But with the side open like that the tweety birds will have a fecking field day.

I'd use trained grey squirrels to take over the nest.

OK plan B - Dig up the tree, and replace it with a row of Leylandii. That'll keep the neighbours busy in a couple of years!

Edit: I think it's perfectly legal to let Leylandii grow to roof-top height

What an evil idea.

The problem with leylandii is stopping the feckers when they get to roof height.

I well remember next door's "miniature pines" which were 40 feet tall in 3 years.


There's another further up the road that's easily 45 to 50 feet, and must be about 10 to 15 feet across at the base.

The jackdaws & crows love it.

Only cut it in half? The ancient art of "topiary" allows for a much broader range of shapes and outlines..

True. Hacked back my hedge years ago and they all died. I still feel guilty.
