    I thought deeper foundation regulations came in post 1976 drought.?

    22ft from house - if left to grow freely it will prob cause problems...

    I think the trees will cause problems regarding the house...

    Hollow Ash

    richyrich replied to richyrich's topic in Ecology

    A mate felled it today in my village. That's a limb from higher up the tree. There was at least one fruiting body up the tree- not sure if it was on this particular one. But yes- I've not seen owt like it before..

    Hollow Ash

    richyrich posted a topic in Ecology

    This Ash tree was host to Inonotus hispidus. Is the greeny/bluish zone of colouration due to chemical/physiological reaction from the tree as part of the compartmentalisation process?

    There is a very good tree and planting sundries company- Farm Forestry. I would ask them for advice. They sell mesh guards which I think are better for conifers.

    I would drive to the house and see if she still lives there- otherwise you may be wasting your time. You can hand deliver letter if no answer. Possibly make a trip of it and visit somewhere, etc.

    Cheers Paul- defo room for improvement but learnt a fair bit on the course. 4 or 5 day course would be good. 👍I will keep studying/observing...

    Just got my pti results in post- very pleased to have passed-82%- ironically I got better marks on inspection-which I thought prob failed and on fungi ID I got one ID wrong ; whereas thought would have got 100% on them..Not a walk in the park overall.
  10. richyrich
    Yes maybe would sprout a bit. A willow log will sprout and take root if it's just sat on damp soil. Twigs/shoots don't generally have enough stored reserves to take root so readily unless pushed into soil or stuck in water where they can get growing rapidly.👍
  11. richyrich
    It defo won't grow from cuttings that are not pushed into soil.
  12. richyrich
    Willow cuttings - once dried out they are not very durable. They won't last that long- 2 or 3 years guesstimate. Will just decay. Have you thought of using Common Reed..?
  13. richyrich
    It looks like the tree itself is having a shite..
  14. richyrich
    Yes. I fairly confident i passed the theory. Just annoyed on the inspections- missed some stuff off and could have done better. Waiting for results...
  15. richyrich
    Does anyone know the national pass / success rate for the PTI? I read somewhere 38%. I did course last week and prob failed on tree assessments i reckon- not got results yet, but made a few schoolboy errors. I think prob passed the written and fungi. I think course would be better over 4 days and have less emphasis on pseudo science from well known authors- regards kinetic/potential energy etc. Time to update the theory part maybe.

    I have seen a small 'wild' Elm in my village with similar twigs.

    My district council has failed to show a group TPO on it's map despite it being designated prob over 15 years ago and me reporting it's ommission.
  18. richyrich
    Yes, looks like Ash the table. First bit maybe as well?
  19. richyrich
    You are correct- i was unaware of this.
  20. richyrich
    What machines are you using? What vibe levels? With hedgecutters i've switched to cordless. Also for small stuff - cordless saws. Gloves don't help and prob tape not much. My grip affected.

    I'm not familiar with urban planning. I'm in rural area. Neighbour had an application refused. With planning applications you can appeal- but since this is not a normal application that follows the usual planning process then it appears there is no obvious means to appeal. Ombudsmen waste of time. I think in this instance you need a qualified town planning consultant or legal expert..👍
  22. richyrich
    I thought any new access needed to go through planning?? In which case 'lines of sight' may be more of an issue than affecting tree roots. Contact the council again for confirmation. If necessary put your application in. Wait months- find out all reasons for refusal/approval. Get expert in and appeal.. Might take a while...
  23. richyrich
    Will do, thanks👍

    In defence of the Rock- it is a solid machine- touchwood😖. Re the B and S- i would prefer one to the Loncin on my powerwasher. Not saying other opinions are wrong... Just different.
  25. richyrich
    Maybe not as big as what you're looking for- Rock Machinery 13hp Venom. It chips pretty quick. I only put smaller stuff through it. Only jammed once - willow shoots that were too thin. It will chip thicker stuff but i keep anything over 1 1/2 for firewood. I know this would be impractical for most through.
