    Clown goes ice fishing A clown wanted to go ice fishing. He’d seen many books on the subject, and finally getting all the necessary tools together, he made for the ice. After positioning his comfy footstool, he started to make a circular cut in the ice. Suddenly, from the sky, a voice boomed, ”There are no fish under the ice.” Startled, the clown moved further down the ice, poured a thermos of coffee, And began to cut yet another hole. Again from the heavens the voice bellowed, ”There are no fish under the ice.” The clown, now worried, moved away, clear down to the opposite end of the ice. he set up his stool once more and tried again to cut his hole. The voice came once more, ”There are no fish under the ice.” He stopped, looked skyward, and said, “Is that you, Lord?” The voice replied, ”No, this is the manager of the hockey rink.”

    You'll be ok with the size timber your pulling mate, it will pull 12'' whole trees no trouble, just rember to never winch outside the 30 degree zone, or you could pull the the tractor over, but I'm sure you know that, and never use the winch cable up high in a tree, ie as a felling aid........

    People who promise the world end up gving you sod all! and an old fella, once told me the nicer the customer in the beggining the higher the chance they will be an a-hole when it comes to paying, how true his words are.. Probably not what we are looking for, but a start.......... Heres one, developers are rogues its not a myth! don't beleive a word they, say! and they'd drop you in it, at the drop of a hat......

    It never ceases to amaze me the stupidity of some or as my wife has just said ''most'' clients regarding invoices, I think from now on I will put on the bottom of the invoice ''please keep this invoice this is a customer copy''.............or will this end up confusing them?

    I think it looks good, the shine from the galvanized fence will soften in time and the bright concrete will weather... Don't see a problem myself, I think the council could have found a more suitible place to erect the monument though........ My wife and daughter think it looks an eyesore, hummm I wonder about myself at times

    If you intend on veg, I'd leave the grit out. I wouldn't touch horse manure either, usually full of dock and nettle seeds ready to germinate in your nicely prepared seed bed. If your soil is heavy clay and you want to get really technical, add lime every other Autumn to the soil, and either manure or compost the other year. You can get masses of veg from a very small area, enough so you won't have to buy much from the shops, the trick is planning, IE forget spuds, and concentrate on salad, perpetual spinach, legumes, courgettes, beets [by the way you can eat beetroot tops cooked like spinach] climbing pumpkins [grown on bamboo frames] etc etc

    You could always 'not bother'' lol

    For veg just work in some well rotten 'pigs' or 'bullocks'' manure, horse manure contains too many weed seeds... Drench with a few hundred liters of sugar [2kg sugar to 100l water] and water solution leave over winter, get growing next spring, sod the shrubs grow organic veg.......

    No pics sorry, most of my work takes me miles from home. However I do call up my clients, mainly TO's, tree surgeons and arb consultants to see how the tree/trees are getting on, excellent feed back 99.9% of the time.......

    Just recently I've been called out to try and work wonders on some mature trees, suffering from horrendous soil compaction problems. The cause of the soil compaction in many cases has been human traffic. Compaction isn't always caused by heavy plant and machinery etc I looked at a mature oak a few days back, that was living in soil so compacted even the ''Air-Spade'' struggled to relieve the compaction. Soil decompaction, is all about ''prevention rather than cure'' imo. We all know or at least should by now, that compacted soil is a major cause of urban tree decline. Spread the word my brothers, spread the word......................

    The last thing a sick tree needs is an energy zapping surgery...... I would recommend the trees are decompacted and mulched, radial or surface, an added bio-stimulant would encourage the soil into action too..........
