  1. Buy container grown and save a lot of bother..........
  2. Your welcome to your opinion as am I, I see no difference in the two, and they're both pants, without a soil vac, and that is a fact!
  3. I believe in mother nature, left alone she rarely if ever gets things wrong.......
  4. Forests need tending, please do me a favour, forests need leaving alone that includes allowing forest fires to happen, native Americans fertilized trees lol, i'm sorry I take much of that with a pinch of salt, the reason there are shells under trees is because the ate there shellfish in the shade. Oysters can last days without water, making them and ideal trade item............. Mind you saying the above doesn't mean I think the guys a fool, no way this guy knows his onions!
  5. Not a lot mate, infact the soil-pick is a much safer tool having the nozzle cemented into the end rather than threaded, as for the removal of soil no difference...
  6. having owned and used both I can assure you there isn't a jot of difference
  7. I saw a little Jo-Beau 300 in action yesterday, what a cracking little machine for the size and money and virtually maintenance free, I have a feeling I might end up owning one..
  8. You get my vote Pete.............
  9. I always carry a blunt instrument in the cab for the big lumps, namely a claw hammer! I'd go to the police mate, but I have no faith in the police i'm sorry to say.
  10. Hideous!
  11. I reckon your going to need lots of lime then mate as well as drains in the future,what's the grassed area used for Dean, lawn/green?
  12. You need a few bags of pelleted lime and it should be added in the Autumn or Winter,it will probably need adding every couple of years. If its really wet I can't see lime solving the wet problem, you'll need land drains for that ...
  13. Iv'e got a second hand soil-pick [just as good as a Air-spade] if anyone's interested....
  14. I knew somwbody would sooner or later spot that name..........
  15. 1000 hours is just about the lifespan of a Kholer command
  16. not as much as I'd like
  17. This game will pick up or the prices will in another 5 years time, nothing mega, we'll know doubt have another boom period in time too.. In the meantime I'll ponce about with me hedge cutter, lawnmower and strimmer for around a oner a day, taking it nice and easy, and take a few de-compaction/vertical mulching jobs when they come in........
  18. looks like a rams shagged too, hence log
  19. If a man will let it get into that state, my guess its either been worked to death or he couldn't give a monkeys and hasn't looked after it or both, looks like a big load of trouble from where i'm sitting, those little kholers need a bit of TLC to keep them running sweet, I had a 252, lb for £ they are the best grinder on the market or they were
  20. This is the main reason I jacked the contracting in, It wasn't fair on me or my blokes, my parting words with a local LA were ''when the prices pick up to a sensible rate, we will be more than happy to resume working for you, and you'll get the quality service you and your local population deserve, until then I'm out'' This game used to be good, a man used to put in a fair days work and he got a fair days pay, these days most slog there guts out and get bugger all!
  21. looks too much money for my liking
  22. Sorry the read this Rich, it makes me sick to the pit!

    Question
