My argument proved futile when faced with the intrusion evidence.

 

I didn't argue hard.

 

Tree had killed itself well within 50 years - who knows why?

 

Suggestions for a decent replant would be most welcome.

There was nothing wrong with that tree you butcher, a light tip reduction and she would have been propping up our fragile eco-system for another 100 years.

 

As for the roots in the drain, they could have been any roots, yours, the clients, anyones! But no, its always the tree that gets blamed.

 

And don't even get me started on violating Mother Earth by burying pipes in her delicate skin.

I'm getting worried now!!!!!!!

 

I heard the other day that the land is like lino thats held down by the trees and the big trees are what keep it from rolling up like wall paper!!!

 

Is this true????????

 

Am I going to be felling a big tree one day and it will be the final straw, there will be a huge rumble and every thing will just roll up??????????????????????????????

lol, NO!

 

Its more like the soils are very thick liquid and held onto by the roots of trees and plants, in brazil hundreds of millions of tons of soil are lost due to deforestation and the resulting erosions.

 

this happens everywhere, it is why we have mud flats at the estuaries, wind blows soils around too, one of the main losses within the modern agricultural system.
