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!

IMO the charted arboriculturist status at the ICF is the best one out the lot. AS they are the only royal chartered organisation!

Uh oh, you've killed the acer, all it's leaves fell off!

Was that meant for the fallen ash thread? -
I love my greenmech cs100. Will happily fill my truck in less time that I think! It likes belts and the blades seem to dull quickly mind! I'm really finicky about what I put in. Although my groundy may be less careful which I think is the issue!
-
I agree on the honey with tony. And that if the tree was inspected recently then they should have Looked harder IMO. although the inspection could have been outside fruiting season! Any pictures of the tree? If the inspections haven't been regular or report recommendations not followed the tree owner can be deemed negligent and liable for damages caused.

dealing with difficult customers

i dont know who it is who surveys their trees, but they said they have a guy who comes round and reports on them. Although i picked up on things he didnt while i was there. I am yet to see the report, although i have asked for it so i can plan some work for them.

I have relatives working at a nearby primary school. I was approached by said relative but then the school took over and dealt with me direct. They are pleased with my work standard and are happy to offer me more work recommended by their tree inspector.
