Chilli con carne?

You then have to disinfect them too! We hired a mini digger for one job. All the soil went into bags and it was carried out over polythene into a skip! It's horrible stuff to deal with!
-
Spray it when it flowers with glyph @20l/ha. Basic rate of 5l/ha will not be effective and will just burn off the leaves. Cutting Is a very labour intensive process. Cut and cut all through the growing season every 2 weeks at most until no new growth appears. Other than that dig it out. 3m down and 6m all the way round. All soil sent off to special waste disposal sites in covered wagons which are then disinfected.

hmm certainly a contender for the airstreams, if i needed a new pair id look at these if they are similar money. it would make a change from having everything red! -
those pens are brilliant. especially the african blackwood one! love the grain.
-
they will post to professional users, ask jonesie or the others, im sure they will be able to sort something.

is it not easier to find someone with a tractor like a valmet or simlar machine with a timber grab? would be easier and can move round site quicker. Even a tractor with a loader can be effective

If you load the pages up in safari then click add to bookmarks and press add to home screen. It saves them as an app icon and is just a bookmark! Very handy for sites you go on a lot
-
Yeah. It worked out that I took 10 cube from you!
-
been log bashing all week, got the tractor set up with the splitter now so we should have most of it done by the weekend! did 4 hours of hand splitting while the tractor was out working and then had 20 minutes on the splitter and did a quarter of what 3 of us did all day!
-
Weve got a few chestnuts around here starting to turn, one near the house is half yellow and some are just showing fringes of yellow now, however, one right outside my window which is a fairly exposed place, all the wind gets it through the yard, is showing only brown patches on the leaves which i assume are wind scorch? no yellowing leaves yet on that! couple of conkers though! is this normal or is a sign of something nasty?
-

-

-

I'll get some today. The fan needs to have a hole in the centre of 8mm It's the professional bench grinder. It's actually badged as a precision tooling speed sharp, but is the same as the 511ax I believe Here it is PRECISION TOOLING - PRODOTTI - SPEED SHARP STAR
-
Hi mate yeah the canopy was custom built by gamic trailers in Wales. It's very similar to an ifor Williams canopy but with added doors on the side. Cheers
-
Has anyone got a fan that will fit the Oregon chain grinder? The bench mounted one. I've still not been able to get hold of one! Cheers
-
Some virgin connybashing on Sunday. Right on the a56 in bury. Busy enough! Job went well though. Armchairarborist did the bashing!
-
Yeah that's a king cab. Looks a bit like mine D22 is still navara. The d22 is just a model number. Mine is badged navara on the back. Bad thing to happen! I hope they are found!
-
I used to do jobs on my own when I started but soon decided that I can afford to bring someone in for the day. I do that every time now and feel much better sharing the workload. Plus you can have a laugh and meet people who then may give you more work
-
As mentioned before it would be an insurance case, I'm currently dealing with one, a big willow 2ft from a garage with a lean going away from the garage. The garage foundations were there before the tree and it shows no signs of heave but the area 6" from the garage has been lifted up 3"!
-
Ask me about this tomorrow Sam I'll be able to give you some info!
-
You are right about trying to convince them. I suppose it can still be extra money. With trees coming back I guess it does depend on it's circumstances. They do have slightly less chance with a good grind out though
-
How could roots cause problems when they are not actively growing and are beginning to decay? I don't poison roots because I don't want any runoff, especially neat glyphosate. I've only had a eucalyptus grow again, within a month it had put another small clump about an inch high. It was getting ground anyway. But most trees don't come back.

Can you not just get pa1 and pa6 and spray it or stem inject it?
