Old thread I know but here's my 2p: Roundup Biactive label says cut above first node and inject hollow stem with 1 part Roundup to 5 parts water. I did this last year and sprayed stuff that was too small to inject and there isn't much left this year. I have sprayed once and am possibly going to get one more spray next month. Original cut waste was put on a proper hot fire piece by piece, on site.

Nothing at all! For reference, the rhodie had been cut probably 2-3 years previously and was up to a metre and a half high with stems up to thumb thickness, from larger wrist thickness stools. Totally brownbread.

I have totally nuked about half an acre of rhodie with a 2% roundup biactive from a CP3 with a green nozzle. Did most of it last year in August. This year, the stuff I have sprayed is dead, dried up and brittle sticks. The bits I missed have been done this August. Will hopefully finish it off next year.

Yeah. I forsee a loss of jobs or at least paycuts, and a tidalwave of volunteers and schemies in need of babysitting. Training opportunities will be reserved for the long-term unemployed. Countryside services in local authorities will stagnate and fall behind in work schedules and the employees will get the blame. Sites will scrub over and become less favourable. Everything will still need to be done though and will ultimately cost more.

Find some Jap knotweed and scatter around the property, liberally, until debtor is adaquately stewed. Repeat.

Agreed. My limited knowledge of tree surveys is that putting a tree down for "monitor" is a kop-out that leaves you open to getting shafted in court as it's essentially admitting that you recognise that a tree is going to fail, and you aren't going to do anything about it. How do you know that it won't fail tomorrow? etc. Makes it tough, particularly if you have thousands of trees to survey. Makes sense though.

Also, if they question the volume, I always say 4 bucketloads from the tractor. That is the standard we sell at. They can either accept it or go somewhere else. We don't have enough wood to sell to fart around with picky people. We will always run out mid winter. Then that's yer lot.

I hate Old Tom.

Got me a pair of the Explorer's the other day. Only tried them on so far, proper comfey and snug. Will put something up here once I've worn them in.

By the trailer load, so by loose volume. We get it though, what's yer weights blah?? We just say no idea how much it weighs. We offer at very low price in comparison with other sellers, not intentionally undercutting, but they all seem to have put their prices up and we forgot or something.

Hiflex type C for me. Bit hot for any weather outside of January/ February. I'm waiting for the day that Stihl bring out type C Hiflex bermuda shorts.

Excuse this for being a first post but I am still reeling from losing our works Landie the other week. Was parked overnight in our secured yard in Havant. A crowbar was used to break off the lock on the gypsy barrier. We found the tip of the bar lying on the floor by the rest of the lock, so they must have had a proper go at it first. Then it was presumably hotwired and driven through our double gates which were then found down the road, still locked together. Last seen driving through a speed camera near Liphook towards London. There had been a few attempted go's at it in the past where the door had been bent out and the steering column beaten up, but this was the first success.
