What do you need to know?

[sloth]

It's a fairly short BS to be honest, I'd start by reading through it cover to cover. Do you have a copy?

[bloodmilksky]

I have just been asked to write a small overview of what it covers. this is the only question I am really having trouble on as their is no real information about what it details inside the book. Thank you for any help

So you haven't got a copy?

[bloodmilksky]

no its really expensive and I am only an apprentice LOL

Yeah, it's about £150. My local library has access to British Standards online, you can look at them and copy the odd page if the ibrarian allows it for study purposes. Surely you can't be expected to comment on an expensive copyright document unless it is available for study somewhere?

The only bit I've ever needed has been this. Some of this info is in BS8545.

Yeah I know. 3998 was quite easy to find info about but 3936 there is just nothing, or not enough to give a small insight on.

[bloodmilksky]

would it be accurate to say that the 3936 document covers good trade and care practice of trees & shrubs that are sold for ornamental or amenity purposes and not necessarily for timber production. It lays out guidelines for the condition in which the plants should be sold and runs through a lot of the terminology used in horticulture.
