I went past just before Christmas and it was still there. Would like to know of it still is after these winds! I might have a wander tomorrow.

What is it with women and periods. Everything is your fault when she's having one, and apparently it's your fault if she doesn't!
-
When your driving to mine. You go past Taylor's farm and then after the sharp bend where there is a white metal fence on your left, there's a large beech that's got some serious dieback! Some ganos forming in the buttresses too this year. Need to get out an have a gander.
-
Has that knackered beech in the field not gone over yet? Don't know how that is still standing!

Same here Seen nothing bigger than my thumb come down so far.

Starting to realise I need some cash to live with. Going to change back to tree work ads instead of firewood, not done well at all with them. Few hundred quid wasted. gutted. I've got something in the pipe line that will be a good job. Just need time for it to come off hopefully.

It's on the news a guy has a been killed by a tree landing on his car. Should spark some tree interest methinks.

the trees are owned by Manchester Ship Canal, the safety of the trees is their main concern. i wouldnt want to reduce these lombardies, the risk will still be there no matter what is done to these trees, and the homeowner directly underneath these trees will be kept at ease if the trees are removed, this is not what spurred my decision to remove/replant, as the overall condition of the group isnt great, i would rather be proactive on these trees than reactive. they are at the end of a small wooded area, the rest of the woodland are other broadleaves, mainly sycamores, and the ivy is strong in this whole part. Replanting new species, would have to be fairly vigorous to keep on top of the ivy, otherwise the new saplings will be overrun with ivy before they can make an addition to the area.

proper draughty here, bad rain this morning but just windy now
-
Two words LANYARD ON!
-
Don't seem so bad Is that water or sand?
-
Yale got rid of the large solid and it's jacket and replaced it with those small eyes. Bit daft, but it does prevent cross loading!

Didn't know you could get a Clio convertible!

It completely depends on where your interests lie. Arb has so many extra little topics that it's tricky to cover them all! I like my fungi so I've got 5 books on them. Tree identification is always good so I've got lots of books on that. Also got books on bonsai, laws, pruning, woodland management, plant physiology, hazard management. The books with the yellow covers with communities and local government on the front, tree hazard management, body language of trees and diagnosis of I'll health in trees are all must haves for an arb. Amazon is a good resource for books. I know Jo at treesource has a good selection, but it does pay to shop around!

I don't have an issue with a lockjack on xtc. It's not as fast as on poison ivy I will agree but I still find it good to use. IMO xtc ropes are some of the best out there.
-
i reckon thats where the stein retreiver inventor got his idea! i think youve got a bit of excessive play in the vice there
-
dont go for an otterbox, i had one and couldnt get on with that rubber on the outside doing what it wants. i got a case mate Tank, much tougher, its smoother plastic on the outside so more pocket friendly and if you find their video on youtube it certainly stands up to a beating. similar money, better value IMO.
-
Reducing these poplars to a hedge, will basically be topping them, and in a few years they will become dangerous with regrowth, something i wouldnt want to deal with! i see where you are coming from with that, but imo these trees dont add much to the area they are in, with them covered in ivy, i agree it can be valuable habitat, i have recommended removal and replanting of native british species that will have a higher amenity value.

I've pondered plates for a while and can't seem to find anything! I'd like R12 ARB the 12 looks a bit like an R for my initials and 12 is my birth month. Cash just seems to elude me!

Arb-Mycota what do you want from books?
RobRainford replied to Tony Croft aka hamadryad's topic in Training & education
tony try Self Publishing and Book Printing Solutions - Books, EBooks, Photo books and Calendars at Lulu.com if you want to publish anything, they have their own marketplace and you can link to it, they take money for producing books but you can charge what you want! i really do think you will go places with a book tony. I have every confidence you will! -
Ouch! That's not pretty! Heal quick Steve
