  1. For air pruning you can buy purpose made pots, I think they're called air pots. i think barchams use them.
  2. I wish I'd known that!
  3. I'm a metric kid, not bought up on the imperial system of multiples of 12, 14 and 16, so ten woul be easier. Personally, frequently I think that 12x doesn't seem a lot.
  4. 10x would be a lot easier to calculate:biggrin:
  5. Now that all depends who's paying for a new one.
  6. This is the opposite to what we were told at collage. The tutors opinion. It's an odd scenario, the tree may be trespassing over the neighbours airspace, but is the neighbours property. So could you be trespassing on a trespassing limb? There seems to be differing opinions but little in the way of actual facts, that I can find!
  7. I reckon he needs a bigger saw!
  8. I think the 20% incursion went with the earlier BS5837. Now I understand the extent would be down to the arboriculturist, basing the decision on the trees condition, the likely rooting zone and maybe some trial digs to map the existing root zone
  9. We bought a demonstrator last year, which now has 500 odd hours. The only issue we had was with the axle which was replaced with the upgrade with no quibble. Twelve months on and I can't find fault with it.
  10. Binoculars are very useful
  11. What he said above.
  12. Just keeping my post count average up👅
  13. .......
  14. Thanks. My question is purely academic. Kevin's post creates some interesting questions. Another question that comes to mind is after building over the RPA, is there any research into rootloss due to reduced moisture levels?
  15. I've no idea, what's the differences in costs between piling and traditional mass pour foundations?
  16. Now if it had been Black Walnut.............
  17. I think I heard or read that the AA had received complaints about a contractor who enquired about whether trees were protected at someone's address. I believe that complaint was considered valid and was seriously considered. If you were instrumental in getting a TPO, which prevented legal pre-application felling which then prevented a million pound development, I'd imagine they'd be some ramifications. But I don't really know:biggrin:
  18. And don't discuss it on a public forum!
  19. That would have been when Andy was on his own, more recently (10-15yrs ago) his brothers joined him. Don't time fly?
  20. if you're employed to survey them, wouldn't that be deemed a conflict of interests. I do appreciate where you're coming from though.
  21. I thought he would have retired by now. Are they still running the mogs?
  22. I think the last one I did there was the ability to download a map off of the FC website! IIRC you could mark the boundaries and then calculate the area automatically, save and submit it.
