  1. Woodchip, barkchip and mulch...... Surely these are all the same...maybe not mulch but to me wood chip and bark chip is the same. I've had a few people say they want bark chip... i say "Ooo you mean wood chip, i can supply this" and they say they want bark chip Also do you ever get peple who say "can i have some good stuff" Its all the same!! What do you all do with your chip? Do you class some to be good stuff and some rubbish? Do you mix it all in together? Conifer etc? Cheers all, put me out of my misery lol
  2. so this applies to both tpo and con area i know i'm justified in removing this one so just wanted to clarifie will be taking picks of the holes due to root plate movement, dead bark etc and any others i need Cheers
  3. Hi there, Quick querie/ conformation. Just been and looked at a pear tree that is in a conservation area, there is some deadwood in the tree, some bark falling off etc but worse of all there is a problem with the root plate, and this weather has made it considerabily worse. There has now developed a few holes in the ground around the base of the tree and the root plate has a lot of movement. As said this tree is in a conservation area, it is at risk of blocking a road, knocking a wall over, if it went the other way it would damage a porch/windows/roof and maybe telephone lines. To me i see this as imediate danger thus i am allowed to remove this tree straight away? Should i have to ring the council/inform them? If the winds get up more, i'd be surprised if it is still up in the morning, when i plan to remove....... What would happen if "a" tree was tpo'd but deemed dangerous, would works/removal still be allowed to be carried out without contacting the council? if said to be an imediate danger just after some clarification Cheers
  4. wonder if there's any place's left for the one day a week one bit late though can only try
  5. :001_smile:what is the base/starting course in arb? sorry to de rail is it a full time course your doing? Cheers
  6. oops, wrong page in the book back into the shadows i go lol That was for Coniophora puteana Collybia fusipies - The affected roots can become extensively decayed, but the decay rarely, if ever, extends above ground level. Little is known about this type of decay. Principles of tree hazard assessment and management, Hama

  8. i used to use simmons white tail classic scopes, really clear, but no mill dot and extra's. You tried typing in, j s ramsbottom's for shooting supplies, i that was the firm i used to get my stuff off and they were really good on price's I had a mk2 rapid .177 17 shot, it was a lovely gun, shame i kept swapping and changing had a daystate airwolf after that .177 love .177 calibre for hunting etc. Airgunbbs is a good forum to be on. Best gun i have ever owned was a bsa hornet .177, they don't make them anymore but i really could get on with them, i'd have another if one popped up and it was mint, in a flash! Sorry for the de rail

  20. anyone help with this?? info etc induction is tomorrow
  21. Evening all, I've been ringing around a few companies, and one has phoned me back saying there is an induction for work on the railways with a company...... Obvioursly you will need to do the induction, this doesn't guarentee work as the company i've spoke to hasn't yet got the contract with the railway. Then i would have to do the pts course.... (if the company got the contract) Of which i was told it was 400.00?? and i would have to pay for it... and if the company doesn't get the contract i've got an expensive pts qual with no work for it..... I've also heard that the pts will need renewing every 5 years is it? at an additional cost? Is there any information anyone has about the pts? Is it worth it? Its like buying work to me if i need a ticket to do work for this company, of which they didn't mension the wages....

Its unbelieveable the amount of knowledge you guy's have I spotted a bracket a while ago that i suspect to be Inonotus hispidus on an ash, its been there for a while and had darkened a lot in the time it has been there, its black now, This is a large ash and it also has signs of fibre buckling/ compression on another large limb, Also spotted some fungi on the ground near to the stem, these have now gone black and have all wilted and fallen over. Sorry for the de rail just enjoy looking at these threads Keep up the good work
