Thanks chap. Those prices are something arent they! Probably good quality to be fair.

One google search led me to a list of conundrums solved by MacGyver!!!!

Could you divulge any names of aforementioned websites?!?!?

I use a Rubber mallet and a BBQ skewer for basal checks. Very very basic but i only check the trees on our sites. And know the ones i need to keep an eye on.

Nice and dual purpose...a scented reminder of summer days....! Cheers Matt. Miss the old conservation work and looked into contracting & prow but set up too much expense/hassle without guaranteed work. You seem to have a great set up, with variety.

 

Personal question but do people prefer rubber or nylon?

 

Any other cheap long probe ideas?

whatever you use for a probe mark it at 5 cm points so you can gauge the depth of holes too

Made this a while back
