It does work here in the UK, it is very rare for it to spore we don't really get the conditions for that to happen, it takes commitment and hard work but the constant damaging reduces the strength and growth , where there are tracks that are constantly walked on it stops growing , so all I am doing is replicating that affect

@@TheDevonblacksmith With respect I'm sure it does spore, otherwise how do you think it spreads?..

​@jameswilkinson150 it spreads by the roots that is why it doent just pop up everywhere it only creaps from existing plants , thank you for the comments , in very dry hot climates it does but not generally in the UK

@@TheDevonblacksmith check out the RHS data on this, they say bracken spreads via spores.

Yes it can also , but in the UK it is mostly by underground creeping of the roots and that's the way it has alway done it here , I am not saying it can't just that it hasent here in the last 20 years

It says so on the packet, I don't smoke but I do grow and make tobacco

I just use a half bow knot so I cab pull the one loose end to open them up

@@TheDevonblacksmith thanks.

Hello, thank you for your comment I don't know what an Irish caravan might be this is an English style used in most of UK and Ireland, perhaps In your country it is called an Irish caravan, or perhaps the translation is a bit off ,good luck with your build hope it turns out well

Glad it was helpful, I hope your chickens enjoy the hay

It dies off in the winter so you would have no lawn

It's amazing how food can be grown from old waste, nature is wonderful isn't it

@@TheDevonblacksmith Yeah. God made it so.

Thank you for your comments , that is good news, being able to provide all your own feed needs , a big step forwards to self sufficient living , I had rabbits for a while of and on over the years , I found the droppings very good for the vegetables, unfortunately the UK has a nasty rabbit disease at the moment and the cost of protecting them with vaccinations became expensive , so at the moment I don't have any , hope to have more soon

Thank you for the nice comments, I am glad you like the use of the potato water , good luck with your experiment please lit everyone know how you get on many thanks

Thank you , yes I expect I probably do look like such , but I am very English , my family having been in the county for a very long time family records go back to the 1500s on both sides of my family tree, although one side came on a ship from Spain in the 1580s where captured and held as prisoners of war for several years but settled and integrated , the ship was a hospital ship that ran aground on the coast 60 miles from here a place called hope cove, the ship was a part of the Spanish amarda, and thank you for your support and kind comments, i would love to spread the word of how I approach the management of my land to any that are intrested

Yes if you boil the potatoes whole the water will contain the same nutrition, and will work to feed plants for free, thank you for the question and for watching my videos, hope enjoy some of my others as well

You are welcome glad it was useful

No creosote is made from the tars, not from the soot

Jk

I don't have such technical skills , nothing is hidden from view in this video

I haven't trident them myself but would think that it would work well , as long as the nuts have an oily consistency then it should do the same job , if you try it please let us know how you get on as adding more methods is useful to those that have difernt things available

Yes the more you can stress the plants the sooner they give up , are you pulling the plants out ?

Thank you , I wish you luck in your endeavours the great material brakes down and can also be harvested to make compost

Yes I can imagine that working well @@TheDevonblacksmith - thanks for the video.

Thank you! You too!

Hi yes if I could get a roller on my field I would use that for crushing the stems, but unfortunately my land is to steep ,if you can get one on your land I believe it would work well to controll the bracken ,it does take time you have to repeat the process of braking but not cutting the stems of the bracken

obrigado

Yes I agree brambles particularly don't like constant cutting and once the grass gets light it recovers well , the bracken needs a faily intensive campaign to weekend it over time , good luck sounds like you are winning

I had them for 20 years not knowing what they where , this is a good thing about the Internet and youtube it gives us a fun and interesting way to learn about things I had no idea if anyone would know but our shared knowledge and informative guesses have given us the answer of clay tyle cutters , I am glad you are enjoying this series of videos

Thank you for your question I have never tried coconut oil but I would think it very similar I would recomend only Trying a small area first to see how it goes if the stove darkens when used and it dosent smoke to much then you might have found a good solution, please let me and others know if it works as a stove blacking

I am glad you found me I am not very well promoted as I an not yet mainstream but if things keep heading in the current direction I am sure many could be looking for alternative solutions I use as my normal , thank you for your kind words and I hope you enjoy the videos as I post them up

Two answers the same, both saying 'peening anvil', and you say you have and use one ... I have no idea whatsoever what a peening anvil is, though I know scythe's need frequent sharpening to do a day's work, so I suspect it helps with getting the edge just right. I shall have to look it up now to see how it is used! (Yeah, I'm a bit dumb; I just can't see how it is used )🤷

It got camera shy I think and ran away to hide , nice information about the pot hook thank you or should I say back hook yes I guess they would be updated to newer styles and methods as things changed

I was thinking the two tools sitting on the anvil in the beginning were shears for shearing pieces of metal. Seeing as how it came from a forge, possibly for sheet metal work.

@@tiresomekarma4054 the two Jaws don't line up or have an edge that could shear metal they are both the same one side is offset and they don't pass each other

Normally about an hour to make a pair of socks, stockings a little longer to make the mor needles the finer the stocking that can be made

You are welcome the stocking makers have a wonderful.hostory enough to make a full documentary about them

The fishtail scrolls are nice.

Even if you didn't get to leave the answer well done on the knitting machine these sock makers are wonderfully built things

@@benjaminzedrine the forge work is very well executed on this example I would think a Smith that had a lot of experience making such things made this one

​@@TheDevonblacksmithThe thing with those fishtails is you only get one shot at them. Any other type of classical scroll end can afford to be fiddled with to some degree if it ain't quite straight or right. Pliers to nip it in a bit if you missed it, bit of a tap left or right to straighten up. But you can't do either of those things to a fishtail. You miss it, there ain't no fixing it.

@@benjaminzedrine yes with a fishtail scroll the thin material is almost impossible to upset back once drawn out hammer angle and power is critical , I guess that's why we don't see many of them in much new work along with halfpenny and bevel edge scrolls even blowover leaf scrolls are rarely included now, I have been a restoration Smith for most of the 30 years I have been in the trade and have witnessed some very crude and rustic work along with examples of extremly fine work all of them having to be matched ,in some of the large works I have restored I can see definite differences between some parts and others showing the skills leval of difernt smiths within the same piece ,

This one is definitely hand forged and nicely done so probably by someone used making these items
