Hello Gareth,
Hope you have some measures inplace to deal with the exposure once the
trees are established, poor little bees don't like is so breezy
As for the steaks, the current thinking for trees to stabilise is for
the steak to go into the ground at an angle of 45°, low down - around
12in off the ground, as opposed to the old vertical steaks.


I'm having visions of someone with a tenderiser whacking in a couple of
sirloins ...


sorry. Being facetious.
