Is arboriculture agriculture

[igottacabstar]

I do plenty council work and have NEVER been asked,but then they never ask me to carry waste,so why would they?

 

Same here, do loads of work for the local authorities - never once been asked about a waste carriers license. Would be amazed if any tree surgeons around here have got one.

[igottacabstar]

In that case you'll need a license to run a waste management facility.

 

All you need is somewhere to store your logs/chips/trimmings that is a bit out of the way and nobody will even know you are there!

Ok so all arisings from treework are waste and therefore require Waste carriers licence to transport away from site. Finally the penny has dropped in my tiny little mind. Sooooo, honestly how many of you out there have all the paperwork 100% in order to carry out your daily trade? And I mean 100% in order, not 99.9% every last nitty gritty bit of paper, and adhere to the rules of all paperwork too. I doubt there are many who can hand on heart say they do.

[Dean Lofthouse]

I can't.

 

I wonder how many one man bands, such as myself doing domestic work have climbed without a fully qualified groundsman, trained in ariel rescue

No one obeys all of the rules all of the time. You would get very little work done for very little profit if you did.

Personally, i cant think of a rule that i havent broken from time to time.

My favorite is the take down of hung up trees technique.

1. Get underneath it for a really good look at the problem.

2. Climb up it a bit and see if you cant shake it out

3. Cut some pieces off the butt.

4. When all else fails, fell the tree its hung up in.

Textbook NPTC stuff.

...and of course we always...

 

use two hands on the MS200T,

 

do the step cut,

 

and never hold the branch with one hand whilst cutting it

Especially not on the ground!

Sometime you can try 3a. fell another tree on the leaner, see if you can knock it out - although if it fails, this can cause slight problems with no 4.
