  1. Take the wife with you as a camera spotter Jon
  2. I need to improve my Tree Surgery skills somewhat, I put in a google search for "dean lofthouse awesome tree surgeon" Nothing came up ???
  3. Dead easy.... cut te stem off, plunge a slot in the head of the root ball and stick one of these in, repeat Hydraulic Flange Separator
  4. Cool beans David
  5. I bet the neighbours will be glad to see the back of you and all those sawdust ridden hippies that keep parking in their spots I'm suprised they are still talking to you after setting on Plip
  6. I'm quite outspoken at times but I do try to reel it in most of the time
  7. Nice to see you wee Joe Now get my rope posted
  8. Haaa, the light shineth now
  9. Me too
  10. Not a very good site and could be me reading it wrong Gerrit ? Symbiotic Mycorrhizal Fungi Thanks for the link, I'll read it later as I have a meeting to attend
  11. I don't profess to and neither does Skyhuck, there lies the difference
  12. I want to read up on the bit where a symbiotic fungus can become a parasitic fungus dependent on levels of phospherous ?
  13. I did take in a few bits of that Gerrit, very enlightening. So Fungi can be territorial and start turf wars ? I have also promised myself I will read up on "ecto" and "endo" later
  14. "Expert tree cutters" (me ) learn enough latin to get by. "Tree experts" need to learn a lot more
  15. Excuse my ignorance Fungus but is there not a Mycorrhizal additive you can get for soil now and would that help mixing with and decompacting the soil ?
  16. I came second in the whole world me !!!!. See my avatar franky boy, that cup was hard won after throwing axes for just a few hours
  17. The first one I ever learned was acer pseudoplatanus brilliantissimum I'll never forget that one
  18. I know and you don't know your backside from your elbow
  19. No...it's people trying to take another step up the class ladder. They are also the type that place their bottle recycling bin in a prominent position so passers by can see just how much wine they drink in a week. The chances are, they would also have a BMW X5 parked on the drive and a big gold chain round their necks Jilly Goolden has an educated palate, Bill the chav doesn't, "init"
  20. What I meant to say is Latin has crept into our language not derived from
  21. Some people have it, some don't. The wine drinking culture is a typical example of people acting like sheep
  22. Most "commoners" (even you Tim) are or have become familiar with Genus A huge portion of the English language is derived from Latin A customer wants his Oak tree Pruning, he doesn't want to know Genus, species and sub species. The customer lives in england and speaks english, he doesn't speak Latin
  23. Those that use the system all the time are obviously presuming that those that don't, never do. I use it when needed antione, when I'm ordering trees from Ashridge or dealing with an application. Ninety percent of us are lowly tree cutters with work that takes us to the edge of our towns and villages, we are not international arborists travelling the world People using Latin unneccessarily remind me of the majority of people on the wine isle at morrisons, they are clambering for a higher status than their natural ability will allow
