  1. bleach
  2. start with you tube loads of good info there
  3. woodchip is all the arisings stuffed through the chipper barkchip is stripped bark only though you get percentages of wood in it depending on quality- it lasts much longer mulch is potentially all three and could be wool/sand/shingle/compost in fact anything that acts as a weed supressant or moisture retainer
  4. shame on you:001_tt2:
  5. Having spent a bit of time on the phone I can confirm Roundup is here for at least another 7 years(whew) Maybe I misunderstood or maybe he did. Agree with you- why ban something so enviro friendly. So don't worry- my bad
  6. When up at Kew last week Tony Kirkham head honcho was telling us Roundup was being removed from our chemical armoury from this november unless you use ULV applicator Has anyone on here heard similar. I haven't been able to find anything out from Google yet
  7. Never snapped quite often just come off
  8. Has a decision been made on this one From a distance the tree looks well balanced though unsymmetrical Will it stay or will it go?
  9. Makes you realise how much costly training is required to cover all bases
  10. It's good:thumbup:
  11. I wonder how the owner knew the tree was hollow and ripe for 'dog kennelling'
  12. Just cut it back 6ins below existing pollard sorted
  13. don't know why everyone is so worried about birch Just top it at about 10ft and go back every 3-5 years to repollard Great broom material or xmas decorations- sprayed with paint Get imaginated:thumbup1:
  14. curry- ha!!
  15. Don't even bother leave it to a neighbour with a saw
  16. I enjoyed the seminar immensley Paul blew me away- the power of mushrooms- phenomenal Alan- well - the mad professor who will not do as he's told- the guy is very insightful or our (human) interaction with the world. But I do agree the powerpoint presentation was a struggle as I found myself reading along with him rather than listening and understanding. But I suppose that's the way it works for him. A session with someone tweeking his presenting skills could make his talk an event not to be missed. And I mean for any discipline not just us lot. Still it was good to meet you guys there- I didn't feel so lonely and also had a chance to talk to a number of other delegates one of whom has put me on a road to 'the next level'- so cheers go especially to Hamma and Xerses( all the way from Sweden- I now know why you do it!
  17. Thats a total of 5 from arbtalk Not bad going
  18. He's obviously pulled it too tight before ratcheting I hate the damn things with a vengence more frustrating than something really frustrating
  19. Now sorted- I think they prefer paypal payment but we managed to find a route round it. Looking forward to seeing you all there I'm not expecting too much but guess it will be pretty motivational A step on the ladder of understanding trees. Driving around Kent will never be as safe again
  20. Thats it I'm going Having difficulty paying by debit card but if that gets fixed I'll see you up there Do we wear our avatars.
  21. I was thinking that where do you get these guys Actually I don't want them- I know good climbers are worth more
  22. Really have to say how does loler apply to day to day tree works Ropes= check through hands and visual Carabinas- locking ok/no distortion harness- no damage other pulleys/slings/lowering- not bent/distorted otherwise abused Am I missing something or is this another money spinner for trainers If you are climbing with dodgy equipment then you must be mental Please enlighten
  23. Have to say test cricket - you really don't look happy in your avatar Is that your team? Maybe that's why:001_tt2:
