pumice stone, although left a bit red afterwards

will try the butter, milk, sugar and bananna peel methods next time...wife will think i'm baking a cake!

...readily available Magnesium and Sulphur.

lack of nutrients in the soil is causing yellowing of the leaves. Not only does Epsom Salt provide good nutrition, but it also improves plants utilisation of N(nitrogen) P (phosphorous) and K (potassium).

easily leeched tho.

Hi Mike,

Nice work.

I know Glenrothes very well as i grew up there, would you mind if i popped in next time im down?

Sprinkling some epsom salt on the soil ocasionally or dilute a couple of tablespoonfulls into a gallon of water and apply... i'm led to believe.

Dont usually wear em, but did on a job yesterday and my wrist was aching last night & today...beside that i was sick of pulling em out my prusik lol

Is that cut and split or just in lengths??

 

If it's just in lengths then OMG!!! :scared1:

Yea sorry thats cut & split

Temp work for me atm, as im going back to collage & dont start back till end of August

weather n lack of work for me... Will study for a bit, play my guitar,eat, see what needs doing,.. then repeat

they look like Polyporus squamosus - Dryads saddle.

Damn fine chance i could be wrong tho

Was speaking to the owner of a hotel next to me and he is paying £95 per tonne

Says if i can get it he'd gladly pay me £80 per tonne, but i just dont have the facilities... yet !

Happy Birthday Arbtalk & congrats Steve

Would this be Ganoderma brackets ??

Found them on an A.psudoplatanus today...

It's also decaying pretty badly underneath..

Noticed it today whilst doing some other work & was slightly concearned as is near a house & overlooks a driveway.

Sit the saw on a flat surface and see if you can pull it along by the chain but also move the chain round with both hands,

 

or pull the chain away from the bar in the middle of the bar to expose 2 or 3 tangs. works for me.

 

 

Same as Alinicoll.

The tree hasn't got the stored energy to continue developing the fruit, I'll send you PM, regarding an energy boost..

Thank you very much Lee, will certainly let you know how it developes.

Hi all,

Been asked by a friend why they dont get any fruit from thier cherry-tree no more.

The fruit only grows to the size of a pinky nail then falls off!!

They dont know the species so dont know if it's the paddis or the Gean... i'm not able to get up there and have a look or get some pics.

Told it's an old tree but still in good shape.... was kinda thinking maybe it's an age thing

but would certainly ask around so any help or advice on this would be much appriciated.

*Been like this for a couple of years i'm told... with no signs of any disease ect but this coming from an untrained eye.

I start hnd arb after summer & theres no mention of fitness what so ever...

Think if you want to do this course/job you got to realise you need to be of reasonable fitness, especially whilst using a chainsaw when your up there.

did you use a carving saw or a standard saw??

good job like it

gonna be trying my hand at this also sometime...
