cant see too much wrong with any of it to be honest apart from the groundy should of been stopping the traffic further away from the dropzone and i suppose the cyclist could of stopped a bit sooner. hard job though in london, i get stressed just visiting the place!! carl

looks like nice intresting work, do you get a good succsess rate on moving the large standards?? ive found that trees cant take quiet a bit after we moved a load in summer in really hot weather (a few years back!) thought they would all die but most survived with just a bit of die back. photos would be nice to see. carl

awsome kit there!!! could of done with you down in west cork a few years back when a client wented dozens of mature rootballed trees moved, still managed with diggers, dumpers and a hiab. carl

thanks for the info woodland. i will try some dythane and see how it works, mainly as they have asked me too and also try some grassland fertilizer too. yes griselinea does seem to do well ,iam not too keen on its look but its very versatile in how one can prune it. thanks carl

thanks for that ,theres tons on youtube there called " a walk on the wild side" i think? simple but very funny. carl

i am looking after a place with a load of escallonia hedges some of which have this black spot disease, the client has asked me to spray the hedge so iam wondering what would be the best product to use??, they suggested the stuff used to protect potatoes from blight? also they asked me to fertilise the hedge, what would be best for that?? thanks carl

lamp post looks good mate. got into welding recently after doing a city n guilds year long evening class, found it to be great we covered arc/ mig and tig, just use arc at home but feel ok with it now where as before results were a bit hit and miss( mainly miss!) would recomend the course. couple of things i had a go at making. carl

Hello, new member looking for some chainsaw advice please.
carlos replied to mr_magicfingers's topic in Chainsaws
i would go on the nptc course before you get somone in to fell the stand of trees as its a good course and you can learn a lot and may even feel confidant to have a go at the felling yourself thus saving a bit of money(ie paying for your course and ppe etc) as for saws just check out some of the old threads plenty of advice there. enjoy sounds like a nice project. carl -
good points i think:thumbup1:
-
quick stiff tether question. would i benefit from using one in conjunction with a lock jack?? cheers carl
-
-
it has for me! nothing but the lockjack and rope wrench.
-
was thinking that too or carpet would work .

iam pretty sure the polytunnel could not be moved easly. rigging that side would be a lot safer than cut and chuck imo, particuly if your new to it,. the plastic on those tunnels is fragile and one wrong step cut and youve ruined the tunnel! have fun and dont forget to pack the extra tough clear tape that day!!!
-
we have a silky pole pruner and its hard work for anything other than real small branches. you could always use an old harness and lanyard to make the ladder a bit safer. a petrol pole saw is about the best for garden stuff thats to small to climb properly. not used an mtd tophandle but i imagine the chain speed to be a bit slow, probably fine for occasional light prunning.

Anyone like the new Stihl oil & petrol tank caps?
carlos replied to Andrew Barrett's topic in Chainsaws
there defo a pain. best one i did was when a new style sthil cap just fell to bits on me, i had just fueled the saw so put it to one side and told my work mate what had happened and not to use it, 5 min later grabed the saw .. why have i got a wet burning leg, look down oh what a dick the saw with the broken cap.
