Which Intermediate Tree Inspection Course?
Mark J replied to Watrevir's topic in Training & education
Hi mate, What's your background? Have you got much experience with trees? Do you have books/resources? Have you read them? The reason I ask, is you may be aiming too low. If you're planning on ultimately doing a PTI then you should ask whoever runs that course if they think that you're suited to it. A PTI course and a resit (if you don't pass) are cheaper than an intermediate qualification and subsequent assessment at a higher level. -

robinia pseudoacacia close the property
Mark J replied to vesna's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Not all clay soils are the same. The likelyhood of heave depends on soil conditions. Site investigations can analyse the soil. It may be that the shrink/swell potential of the soil at your property is relatively small. As for phased reductions, as said, there's no point to them. If there was a pre-existing soil moisture deficit then it's just prolonging the inevitable. I should add, if the foundations are that unsubstantial " and the foundations are non-existent (30 cm of rubble).", then sorting that would be a good idea, as anything that grows roots will grow below that depth. -

You could adapt the components of a 'rottom bottom rig': Weak Link Releases | Britishseafishing.co.uk BRITISHSEAFISHING.CO.UK While there are a huge number of weak link releases available to the UK angler. Or, you could sew on extra belt loops. I'd be reticent to rely on anything that may be stronger than it looks.

There's no police and no youth services, hence stabby central.

Choose your battles. I couldn't be arsed with batlling, which coupled with injury, got me where I am today, I've found that old people are either the nicest or most cantankerous bastards out there, irrespective of creed or colour. Generally though, people are alright.
