  3. has it failed yet ????? didnt think so . keep climbing !!!! only joaking mate , i tend to use my old climbing ropes for light lowering and tow ropes etc but make sure they are marked NOT FOR CLIMBING . failing that maybe give them to a local Zoo for them to use in the enclosures ??? just an idea

Many thanks for any help you can give Cheers. Dave

  11. looks like a great gob done well . nice pictures old snake .
  12. tbh it is hard to prevent the spread of infection Phytopthora , we have recently done some work in a woodland where there has been a spread of Phytopthora and we were advised to use various disinfectants such as dazomet, chloropicrin, metam-sodium or non-chemical (e.g.steaming, solarization, biofumigation) can be used on infested soil. None are 100% effective and they will only penetrate to a limited depth. Plants can still become infected if the fungus is re-introduced into the treated area by drainage/run-off water or capillary action, or by the roots growing down beyond the treated soil. A number of fungicides with activity against Phytophthora are available for use on ornamentals. These include etridiazole (e.g.Terrazole), fosetyl-aluminium (e.g. Aliette), metalaxyl-M (e.g. Subdue) and propamocarb hydrochloride (e.g. Filex). Depending on the product, these can be incorporated into compost (and sometimes soil) i hope this may help but personally i feet that much like dutch elm back in the 70's and 80's most of these so called remedies are simply pointless
  13. i regularly forget the blower and or clean up kit , but the worst i have ever mannaged to forget was the grounie ha ha ha ha ha .
  14. i think one of the greatest problems with phytopthora is that it's an amazingly adaptable disease , and as like tommer9 has said , down here in cornwall we have a phytopthora -sub disease that has displayed some totally different signs , one of them being that becaus Phytopthera is verry difficult to diagnose due to its lack of fruit bodies and dead bark being colonised very quickly by Honey fungus in particular but also other Saprophytes alot of trees are being identified as being diseased but at face value the disease is identified as Honey fungus and dealt with accordingly thus allowing the spred of Phytopthera to increase . also down here in cornwall a tree alot of trees suffer from salt damage , watter logging and had fires lit close by them of which all apper to exhibit similar symptoms . the disease its self is an extreamly dammaging yet interesting disease that seems so far to be exeptionally adaptable species .
  15. there are many species suseptable to Phytophthora such as Acer species , Aesculus sp , Castania sativa, Eucalyptus sp , Facus sylvatica, Nothofagus obliqua and procerea , Prunus sp, Tillia sp, Chamaecyparis lawsoniana , Malus in orchards and its not the only fatl disease of Taxus baccata, shrubs such as Erica, Camellia, Hamamelis, Hebe, Peris, rhododendron , Rubus and Syringa are all affected the symptoms are - Tree dies suddenly, or slowly , showing symptoms of a rood disorder such as small , chlorotic and sparse leaves on broadleaves or in conifers , chlorosis and lack of needle lusture. all branches on one side or just the lower ones die . tongues of dead bark , sometimes just a few centimeters long or several metres extend up the stem from dead roots on the same side as the dead branches. site indicators - site lise wet of is heavily irrigated or is mulched with farmyard manure or dressed with other high nitrogen substances. compost heaps or piles of grass clippings are close by the affected tree . hope this helps you bud , if you want to know any more feel free to ask .
  16. ahh so i was right when i said that if you do your class 2 hgv then you are also entitled to c1 , i think thats what i will be doing soon any way
  17. loks like a nice strait forward job mate . and its good to see hear that arb talkers joining forces , down here in cornwall there are not that many of us yet
  18. yeah parks and estates , parks and gardens etc , or ask for the ground miantainence department mate
  19. i got one last night at 9.55 - i was happily having a bud whilst looking through the posts on here when the phone goes , so i answer and its the out laws calling to see if they can pop rpound on the way home !!! bloody cheek . i would have much rather it had been western power ir highways calling me out to work
  20. have you tried the local councils ?? when working a long way from home i tend to ring round the local councils and see if they want if for free . touch wood it aint let me down yet lol
  21. i think that as a student You are required to find out a bit about the industry as you go and prepare your self for the reall world . had i left college expecting to climb ever day , never have to chip and only work on nice , clean safe trees that are easy to climb then i dont think i would have lasted more than a week with the first comany i worked for in devon . i do feel that colleges do portray a side to tree surgery that just does not happen in the working world , i had a guy form merrist wood come to me for a job about 18 months ago . i thought that as i had been there several years ago and i came out of there and did well for my self then he would be something like it too !!! oh how wrong i was , he was "a climber and did not do the ground work " that was for the rest of you to do even though he was a crap climber !! hence why he did not last long at all and lasted even less time when he refused to climb a stag headed beech and take the dead wood out because it was dangerous !!! WTF ???
  22. same old same old , i have had several calls from guys wanting work but have not got any tickets or experience .
  23. fair point , does that mean i can wear my bramuda shorts and string vest when im cutting logs ?? did you get a log splitter sorted ?
  24. that really is poor . surely the dealer you got it from must have tested it and made sure that the machine was ok to use also if they have not done so and the machine goes wrong where do you stand with your warranty ???? .
  25. ha ha :lol:some say he wears fish nets under this chainsaw trousers and the odd crop tops on a summers day but there aint many summers days down here
