  2. We now have a new daily quiz in the members forum, be good to see you guys take part, its all a bit of fun, whos says us treemen are thick
  3. I don't understand you guys at times
  4. I always recommend another survey in X amount of years, this should get you around that problem.
  5. The questions I always ask are,who owns the woodland or trees, who requested the report and for what purpose, and I occasionally ask how much do you want to spend I go from there. No point going into massive detail, if its a small woodland owned by a housing association, and there main concern is H&S, on the same token a bare bones job won't be adequate for a commercial report on a parcel of valuable hardwood. Key word here is ''communication'' anyway how have you got on so far Hama?
  6. i wouldn't entertain a transit
  7. Given the right teacher he would make a fine student, I doubt any of us were that sharp when we started out...
  8. Mulch Bark | Bark Mulch | Bark Chips | Play Bark | Play Bark Chi
  9. usually mother and daughter, this back and forth singing is replicating a seal and cub..............i'm a font of useless information
  10. This is one of my favorites [ame] [/ame] The whistling sound, is meant to replicate the sound the wind makes on the Steppe
  11. I've seen this vid lots of times Mozza, I love the running ice flow river behind them...
  12. I suggest you get in touch with a good solicitor and get advice from them, rather than going to the council, the less the council know the better IMO
  13. Air cooled engines suck, I bet the cooling fins are clogged
  14. Nearly forgot, it works on trees too, or should I say has an effect................
  15. And the big difference is we a dealing in general with urban trees, messing about with a low traffic woodland ecology is beyond the scope of us mere mortals...
  16. Trust me, compost tea DOES work, and it works very well indeed, last year I planted 6 rows of sweet corn, 3 rows were occasionally drenched in a compost tea the other 3 not, the difference was staggering... This year I am trialling compost tea as a pest fighter broad beans and black fly, so far a noticeable difference............. Its whats in the brew that makes all the difference, but as you say teas need the full nine yards to work super efficiently, mulch, oxygen, water .................
  17. and very cr@p..............
  18. They arn't technically the ''only'' way to go, but I agree respiratory protection, is essential, I have been guilty along with others of others for neglecting this essential piece of equipment, I have the same powered respirator as in Andrews picture, not bad for the money TBH. Anyway cant talk as off to brew another batch of aerated compost tea for a job tomorrow, yummy compost tea [worm compost] and fish emulsion..............
  19. All that means is Bartletts are offering the service, I take all knews like this with a very large pinch of salt. I hear Tescos are now saying their cheaper own brand 'hot chocolate'' tastes as good if not better than the rest.....
  20. That's the one Dave, as you know I have the Air-Spade and soil pick, and TBH there isn't any difference in either..
  21. I have a spare Soil Pick for sale used but in excellent condition, great for radial trenching and decompaction work, root investigations. I have used it and it works really well MBW Inc. - Soil Pick© I'll put it in the classifieds later, new price £900 I want £400+vat [i'll pay the carriage] Send me a PM if you are interested
  22. Some people say tree work is more a lifestyle than a job, I say ''crock of chit'' money puts food on the table and pays the bills! put it like this I don't want any of my kids entering this dead end thankless profession! Tesco 1- Tree work 0
  23. nissan cabstar
  24. what brushcutter or clearing saw do you use mate?
  25. I'll be at the APF, sorry to hijack your thread mate......................
