i think there are some folk in this world that shouldnt be aloud chainsaws and machinery, if someone turns up looking for a job with one arm coz he cut it off with a pole pruner, then sorry mate you arent getting a job. he who does the best paperwork wins, i used to send a safety officer to site before me too fill out all the forms tick all the boxes give him 30quid and in we would walk, never even seeing the site. and these were 5 star safety rating factorys.

you are obvoiusly looking for way of life rather than being a millionaire mate, there is always work to be found. i am know where near as strong or a supple as i was 10 years ago, but i am older and wiser and dont waste as much energy as i used to. if your mrs is into gardening then i think you will find your niche in the domestic market, offering a very personal imaculate job. aim high. thats what my old cub leader said

Beech regen from dead root plate
Stephen Blair replied to David Humphries's topic in Tree health care
hi dave, i dont know much about monolith stuff, i take it you are trying to prune a tree the way nature would, split branches, limbs etc. do you ever take a turfer instead of a saw. you could just rig the wire like a spider web then just get cranking and see what happens, would this be appropriate or is there more to it? -
i am off now to work on these limes in argyll, when i say work i mean top, but i know that is frowned upon by some and i have this dead elm to do on satuarday.

it might not be a tree but try messing with sea buckthorn, youch, if the 2 inch spines dont get you then the septic pusy wounds will, dont be drawn in by the orangey looking little berries.
