  1. Past hour
  2. But probably still less than the original tree if it was mature with 1m diameter trunk, and at that point if it's really causing a problem it would be back to the insurance company to sort. I'm always sceptical about felling and subsidence, doesn't seem like an equilibrium game anyway - but obviously don't know any specifics here.
  3. This might well be old news. This app is excellent! You press record, it ID's birds around you, and then higlights which one is chirping. Merlin Bird ID - Home MERLIN.ALLABOUTBIRDS.ORG Identify Bird Songs and Calls Sound ID listens to the birds around you and shows real-time suggestions for who’s singing. Compare your recording to the songs and calls in Merlin to...
  4. Machines have been earning their keep these last 3 weeks since we had a storm.
  5. because the original aim was subsidence mitigation - imagine 10 years regrowth that thing would be sucking up water like there's no tomorrow My suggestion is buy 5l of glyphosate 360g/l pry, scrape off ivy all around trunk at 1.5m high drill 10mm holes at 45 degs downwards, 60mm deep, 30mm apart in a complete circle around trunk, use a 100ml syringe with plastic tube to fill the holes nearly to top with 50% solution diltuted with preferably rain water, but hard tap water would work May be cheaper than ecoplugs - and either method will work best in growing season, right now probably still ok, or April. You need to take care with mixing and applying strong glyphosate
  6. Give an example please.
  7. Something very simple I've noticed over the years, that seems to significantly help new, or less confident potential customers, to instruct tree work: Breaking down the quotation into a couple of component prices (especially with a low-ish cost prep/preliminary item of work, first ), seems to relax them. I guess they get to see that we're not a bunch of cowboys, and I get to see how good they are at paying bills !
  8. Thanks,
  9. Not the best footage, taken on our evening stroll with the dog, the wing shape, flight pattern and the call gives them away. IMG_7166.mov
  10. you can send it to Kew, but I would say they've nailed it
  11. Someone who worked there ,in Oz said they like to live in gutters /cracks and hollows obviously got his facts wrong !either way id not want to take my chances with the little ****************ers
  12. Today
  13. I use steel on the end of my climbline to make it easier to throw my main line, it's more like a throwball and carab all in one 🙂
  14. 75 series Landcruiser
  15. You know that funnel webs live in the ground,Arborists work in Trees Yeah?
  16. I would say it is definitely Paulownia tomentosa.

  18. Anyone had any experience with the fae mulcher - it’s to go on a 8t machine. TIA
  19. Think leaves are wrong shape, and not fluffy.
  20. Pawlonia.
  21. Any idea, and it's in UK.
  22. Spiders funnel website not snakes , but it would be interesting to see how many had !
  23. Because its mega expensive and has a short shelf life? Honestly never heard of any Arbs getting bitten by snakes,loud noises scare them off apparently.

    Ladders

    I believe I've decided on the extendable combination ladder type. Trying to decide which brand and what size to get but likely the 8 rung. A frame max height of 4m and fully extended its 8.4m.
  25. Obviously, so why aren't arb trucks fitted with a mini fridge for viles of it, should anyone come into contact with it
