Bit of a semi derail but acacia roots in the African savannahs go pretty Damn deep too:thumbup:

Try OTISS, there's a phone app too. Bit basic for the free version but sounds like it might do what your after

Just the one fb. It's more on the compression side than the tension. Following your example though it doesn't bode well long term:confused1:

One from today. Will the lean of the tree have any significant implications in relation to Gf?

Hehe beat you too it:biggrin: (Glad someone agrees though:blush:)

Devolving you mean:001_tt2:

Language is generally getting worse anyway regardless of age, I blame the internet:001_rolleyes: Seriously though, there are some 40 plusses who wouldn't know what punctuation is if it came up and bit them on the arse, and some 40 minuses that are word whizzes. You can't tar everyone with the same brush:biggrin: I have found that internet forums tend to bring out the laziness in some people some of the time (I have been guilty myself)... But others are just lazy all of the the time. It's not hard to write sentences in the correct English language and structure.

Acacia pravissima - Ovens Wattle:thumbup:

One band I have never seen but sooooo want to is Fleetwood Mac, bet they'd be awesome:biggrin:

Saw The Verve when they played in their home town (wigan, where I'm from) at an outdoor stage made up in Haigh Hall, that was pretty immense:thumbup: Went to over 50 concerts and gigs in just over 2 years in my late teens Seen a lot of bands new and old, Shed Seven was awesome too:biggrin:

Yes that's the one I mean kev! There's a biggish one at paignton zoo. Acacia something or other

Looks like your having fun rob:thumbup:

Not the best pictures but something seems familiar... Could be some Acacia variety. The form and structure looks similar to one I saw at paignton zoo the other week. Will wrack the brains and try to remember

On my baby bonsai avocado:biggrin:

That ash in your first pic Allan is awesome!

Quick one from today. It really is a good year this year, I've had all sorts on the deadwood piles and the lawn:biggrin:

is that not just a young alder? (pics aren't great by the way:biggrin:)

We do need planning laws in this country but sometimes all that's needed is a little common sense. Sign the petition if you want too (in not forcing anybody ) http://naturalhomes.org/save-charlies-house.htm
