At least you haven't got somebody who thinks you can use a strimmer to do crown lifts and prune soft fruit bushes. :001_rolleyes: Mind you, neither have I..............anymore. :001_smile:

 

I don't want to ask..........do I?

Try epicormic on lime trees with a strimer and steel brush knife Felix.... Local council think this is an efficient way for the grass grunts to deal with it :thumbdown:

Sorry, just bothered to look at the photo. I can relate to this too. We had the same problem with our guys. Now we don't allow them to trim the trees except one guy that showed enough interest that he now works on the crew with us. For the rest; they are happy to strim the living day lights out of the bark or run over them with the ride on mowers.watch one guy take half the bark off with his strimmer the other day.

They placed dropped curbs either side. But thought it was ok to place all waste against the tree for the hiab to pick up. And this is the result!😡
