Hi all

Well, as I'm in the business, suppose I'd better answer this one.

>Does anybody know where I can get a wooden swing to hang out of a > tree?

I get asked this question on average, 5 to 10 times a week at work.

Hout-Land is my most standard reply. Hout-Land can supply a variety of

wooden swings. Most are designed to be hung from a frame, but you may be

able to adapt something to work from a tree.

North Park Farm for example, have a selection of the swings available on

their website. A wooden seat would cost around £20.

Hout-Land products are sold by most TP dealers. There are also many dealers

now selling on the web - so use a search engine, such as www.alltheweb.com,

and type in " Hout-Land " as the search phrase.

One thing to consider... wooden swings are far more dangerous than rubber

swings. A wooden swing hitting a child can result in a visit to your nearest

A&E department, a flexible rubber swing will just hurt quite a lot!

Not a wooden one, but TP do a plastic one for their climbing frames

etc that can be used on a tree. Costs about £16 I think.

Sorry, haven't a clue

According to my book 'A Modern Herbal' by Mrs M Grieve -

Kava Kava

Quote:-' " Medicinal Action and Uses " . The effect on the nerve centers is a first

stimulating, then depressing, ending in paralysis of the respiratory centre.

The irritant action and insolubility of the resin has lessened its use as a

local anaesthetic, but for 125 years Kava root has been found to be valuable in

the treatment of gonorrhea both acute and chronic, vaginitis, leucorrhoea,

nocturnal incontinence and other ailments of the genito-urinary tract.' also'

As Kava is a strong diuretic it is useful for gout, rheumatism, bronchial and

other ailments, resulting from heart trouble'

I've looked in my other herbals and can find no other reference to it which

makes me think that it one you should treat with respect - I am not a qualified

herbalist but have always found that if I can't cross reference the herb I tend

to avoid it.

[sue] Or how about something made out of a recycled tyre? Defnitely

not so bad on the head hitting stakes.
