Hamas big reduction/pruning thread!
RobRainford replied to Tony Croft aka hamadryad's topic in Picture Forum
wow massive tree! good job on that tony, i think it would have took me a week! -
prices are up. We are selling at approx £15-20 more than 3 years ago. We have a stock of fraser fir growing here, £7/foot, bought in nordmans are at £10 a foot. they are still selling well though. There was a gap in planting a while back, we are catching this gap up now so larger trees are short in stock and thus prices are higher. its getting mad now, lots more people shopping round, then coming back to us because our quality matches the price!

You can burn it on site, cut it and burn it on the spot, sustained cutting is effective as mentioned. DEFRA recommend mowing every fortnight until no new shoots appear.

No, 90% control of that patch, you may not hit each plant with enough chemical to kill it, but you would with others, so you would have to reapply on the remaining patch.

No worries, glad I was helpful!

It will work for most plants in the growing season because they aren't as 'tough' as JKW JKW seems to resist spraying in the growing season, we have found the best control through autumn spraying when the above ground parts are receding and dying off, as that's when it's pulling back in what it can from the rest of the plant, adding glyph to its mix has been effective for us. However, stem injection has been used during active growth and achieves a similar control rate of 90%+ and can be highly effective if all parts of the plant are injected. We have dealt with a lot of knotweed and all our clients have been happy. We don't say it will work 100% but we get good control rates which then allows the plant to be dealt with effectively and quickly.

How can I put smiley faces on my posts from my I pad/phone

Emoji works on Arbtalk? Cool! -
That 5/6 months came round quick! I entered and I am eagerly awaiting the results!

Spraying glyphosate during growing season is ineffective. It reacts to it and doesn't give the results you want. Spraying while it flowers works best, we achieve over 90% control with application in the flowering season Stem injection is most effective, although it is labour intensive. We have a sprayer rig on a 600' hose reel, this is very effective at covering all the areas it is needed.

Buy the hitch climber or stein sky walker, both are good and I actually prefer the stein. Then buy ocean polyester or armor pruss and make up your own lengths with fisherman knots. A bit cheaper!
-
There have been security exploits in them though, although they were patched fairly quickly. I'm not anti apple. I would love one but the money just isn't there to get one! So I opted to upgrade what I have!

I bought that album yesterday. Not disappointed! Loved the vid. Very good effects!

i am! bit of a teenage thing! i couldnt agree more, macs are ran on the same components as PC systems, all run the same chips, MoBos, RAM, HDD etc and do the same things, they may seem quicker because their software may be more efficient, but they are designed to be user friendly and visually appealing (hence the 'i' in front of their products!) i used avira for a couple of years but recently changed to kaspersky which is great, no problems with it and picks everything up.

it will push straight through anything you put over it, unless that something was 4m of soil! as your local i or my dad can come and advise on what you can do for it. its useless doing anything now other than digging it up 2m down and 5m around each plant. you can stem inject all year when its growing, and spraying glyphosate on it autumn time when it flowers.

a message stating this computer has been blocked due to the viewing of child porn, it turned out to be a trojan virus that had got into the boot section of the hard drive for windows, as you couldnt get it into safe mode or even boot from a CD, it was a bugger to get rid of. i can buy parts that will upgrade my current PC and will be higher specced than the imac. intel quad core i7 2600k 3.4ghz motherboard with usb3, bluetooth and HDMI built in 8GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM i have hard drives already and a will be changing my 32" HDTV down to a 22" screen. Hard drives are in shortage due to the floods in thailand. i will buy a new hard drive, possibly 2TB to go in and replace my 4 year old ones. i like using a large screen so was opting for the £1400 27" imac. stihl or husky? mac or pc?
-
My girlfriend had something similar but this was deep in the boot section. Had to take the laptop hard drive out, plug it into my desktop through a USB caddy and then scan it for viruses. They were claiming child porn and had to text a code to a number from a £50 ukash voucher. Managed to sort it. Was a ballache! I nearly splashed £1500 on an iMac, but then looked around and can get a pc specced that will blow the iMac out the water for £400!

I'm starting to be careful about drink driving, now Christmas isn't far away. In fact last night I left my car at the pub and took the bus home. I'm quite proud of myself. I'd never driven a bus before.

There really are some low people in this world! I'd be straight on the phone to the bobbies! She probably didn't want a claim against her so decided to scare your lad to agree as he was dazed so would have seen it as ok. No matter what made her say it. That's low! And to add to that, if a good Samaritan did something wrong that a paramedic should know then you are still covered. I.e you moved them when you shouldn't but didn't know otherwise.

not forgetting the petzl vertex vent in orange branded as stihl too!
