Thanks for the video, i have 18 acres of wild Rhodie to cut and clear.. I can not burn as the leaves and wood are toxic and can cause lung issues.. do you get any irritation when you burn it?
NOT illegal to plant in your garden get your facts right. I grow it and so do my neighbours. You have balsam bashing parties we have balsam popping parties. Himalayan balsam is listed on Schedule 9 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act in England and Wales. It's therefore an offence to plant or otherwise cause it to grow in the wild. It's not an offence to grow Himalayan balsam in gardens but you must not let it escape into the wild.
Hi Gerald. I watch your video each and every year before heading to fish the Autumn spates on my local river. The simple and relaxed way you teach these casts is absolutely brilliant and after watching loads of other casting videos which seem to overcomplicate things I always come back to yours. I am forever grateful to you. Take care. Dave 😊👌
Hi John -The primary aim of the Devon & Cornwall Soils Alliance is to build capacity and capability in soils advice across Devon and Cornwall. Raising the quality and ensuring alignment of soils advice to Land Managers is important to improve overall soil management. This mini conference looks back over the work done by the project. It looks at the two focused delivery areas on the Allen and Corry Brook; starting at 1h:34m, you will find the section that covers more direct assessment and delivery with Land Managers. Findings from these areas are also being used to design future projects. I hope that this helps.
Hi - The weevils only eat Water Fern/Azolla, so once they have exhausted their food supply from an area such as Budshead Pond they will either fly off to find the next patch of Water Fern to feed on, some will naturally die off at the end of their lives. Some may overwinter in the pond, ready to either feed on any Water Fern should it come back in the Spring, or again fly off to the next patch that they find. Because they feel solely on Water Fern they will not have any negative impact on any other species.
Fantastic instructive video on what can be a tricky and dangerous pursuit if you are not prepared as he correctly pointed out.I loved the simplicity and the mild mannered way in which this priceless information was conveyed.I would love to fish the Torridge again but it's quite a distance from my home in Scotland!!Great video well done.
