    cattle=compaction=de-compact! by far the most severe compaction problems I ever seen in my ''de-compacting career'' have been caused by the patter of tiny feet. How many trees are there?

    Cracking little motor they were,a millionaire farmer from the village had a blue one back in the 70's when I was a kid, I still remember his black lab in the back, ah those were the days. I saw a mint Morris Traveller today down the marina, the paint was tatty but the body and woodwork was very sound..

    I have a cat and training I never rely on it alone, its always best to check service plans if you can get hold of them, I once had a council contract grinding out stumps on the highway, it was the most stressful aspect of my entire Arboricultural career....

    I've been involved in boxing for 20 years my 2 sons are good amateurs ,I tell them regularly down the gym that they're a load of poofters as does the head coach

    Most boxers these days are a load of poofters, so I guess it suits TBH

    I watched the swimming in the Serpentine,I think we can hold our heads high with the London Olympics, only one thing has annoyed me whats with all this GB this GB that,they [the BBC] seem to refuse to say Great Britain,its as though we should be ashamed of the name, just my take of course

    To build an Ag restricted house you must prove to local planning that you have a need to live on site this usually means ''live stock'' and you must after 3 years be making minimum wage at least, sorry but that's as far as my first hand knowledge goes on the subject. My advice would be to go a seek proper legal advice from a solicitor experienced in the subject,be preprepared to pay a few grand though..

    Stats have proved time and time again that commercial fishing and forestry [yes I know we're arborists] that compared are the country's most dangerous professions from the USA but still relevant Top 10 Most Dangerous Jobs - AskMen

    Andy I read some stats once on work place injury, most accidents occur towards the end of the week due to fatigue

    You don't actually need on e of these but it gives you an idea of the scale people are brewing Compost Tea System500
  15. Lee Winger
    Hi Matt its more than practical on a large scale, farms in the USA are using compost teas on decent size acreage and cutting down of artificial fert, we have the technology

    Wasn't there a good book called ''moving huge round wood timber during war time'' or similar,I guess it was about moving big Elm butts, it used to be in Honeys cataloge

    Any man that says chogging down a trunk with a 385 inches from his chest, whilst held in place with a bit of rope and a pair of spikes, and thinks its not dangerous should consider getting his head examined! no offence intended

    I think we'll be in for a frost anytime between October and March

    I recently did a visit of some local trees I treated some time ago, and tbh they all looked to be in good health, but to answer your question no I haven't re-treated any with compost tea. I'd like to treat more trees with phytophthora etc. Whether my good results were from the compost tea or from the decompaction I really don't know, I hazard a guess at both

    Happy birthday Matt

    I did a large Quercus Ilex that was defoliating for no apparent reason,the results were very good, I generally use a bio-stimulant when decompacting, i'm always happy with the results. I wish I did more the trouble is however cheap you are in these tough times no ones willing to pay.. Aerated compost teas are well proven these days, there's lots on the net about ''microherds'' Buxton Hollow Farm

    Any videos and how much?
  23. Lee Winger
    Decompact then root drench with an aerobic compost tea, brewed from proper specialist compost, not some crap from B&Q...

    I'll give you one tip, ditch the little truck and get yourself an O licence and a 6.5 ton lorry

    You need to work with the architect and your tree consultant, digging up the car park and excavating with an Air-spade is the only way to properly determine if there are roots present. I carry out thousands of trial pits for this purpose in the course of a year Arbor Aeration - Tree Healthcare Specialist I'd have thought planing would of insisted on this, haven't you had an arboricultural impact survey carried out?
