  1. Anyone going out to Victoria could do a lot worse than to contact this guy, Jason Drouin a top bloke, though it must be said won't tolerate fools.. Drouin Tree & Excavation Services - Professional Tree Lopping, Stump Removal and Land Clearing
  2. kills all known germs instantly! I never even knew there had been a problem
  3. I've known Steve for a lot of years, and I'm sure Andy Collins will agree with me, the moths in Steves wallet much much bigger than that
  4. good chap I like the initiative pm sent
  5. the usual culprit is cypress aphid
  6. 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?
  7. 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..
  8. 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....
  9. 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
  10. Most boxers these days are a load of poofters, so I guess it suits TBH

    Obviously completely stage but fun all the same, a mate sent it to me ?????? ? Puttin` ??????? ?? ?????????? ????? - YouTube
  12. 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
  13. 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..
  14. 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
  15. Andy I read some stats once on work place injury, most accidents occur towards the end of the week due to fatigue
  16. Smart looking tool that
  17. You don't actually need on e of these but it gives you an idea of the scale people are brewing Compost Tea System500
  18. 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
  19. 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
  20. 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
  21. I think we'll be in for a frost anytime between October and March
  22. 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
  23. 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
