  1. I really better get to bed - some blues for ya by Johnny winter - night all
  2. Saw them a few yrs ago. Here is a band I saw many yrs ago with trees in the title
  3. Im not an arableculturalist but I believe this method can be used until black grass becomes a problem
  4. looks like a photinia - but I never knew they got that big
  5. Some good advice above. I will add.Try and keep the trunk, as much as possible, free from soil so it can "breathe".
  6. If anyone needs a good groundie, I have a couple of days free. Based in South Cheshire - can travel tel 07882 081394 Regards Paul
  7. CART - Don't start me off - The amount of money they want for pruning 3rd party trees overhanging the canal + a public foot path that's no where near the site = £700.00 - Profiteering bastards - if they would have said £200 I would have gone with it, but as they said £700 they can fuck right off and have nothing -sorry im on the gin

    Loler

    In hindsight - Yes it is a good question I must admit. The loler examination is quite intense so ive been told. The person carrying out the test is obvious intelligent but has he the integrity under financial pressure to make an honest decision. If the company owner is the tester, get to know him well and in time draw your own conclusions. It looks like Ive replicated what Timon said lol
  9. If your turn over is going to over the VAT threshold you will have to be VAT registered. If your clientele are going to be company based - ie VAT reg themselves, you might as well be VAT reg yourself as it will be financially better. If you are below the VAT threshold, your clientele are public based (ie not VAT reg) and you are not paying shit loads on capital assets, then don't go VAT reg hope that makes sense as my body has been corrupted by gin at present
  10. good read - I wonder if they have some kind of geofiz powerful enough that it can penetrate all the supportive layers to see any underlying damage

    A lot of companies do it, and why not. Who ever does it has a big responsibility, and the repercussions should an accident happen, could be severe to the inspector if proved negligent.
  12. Fingers crossed for The Whaley folk this coming week - heavy showers forecast
  13. Bob - given what Rough Hewn has said, why dont you advertise the post as a job that would suit a level 3 - 4 post graduate. Experience not essential. Training can be given. I think you will have a better response.
  14. No- It would take a few years to establish its self
  15. If the diagnosis is correct and it is beech bark disease , then only Beech trees are effected. As Gary said, a Hornbeam would be a good replacement, it looks beech like but is not a related species. If a large purple leaved species is required, then a purple leaved Norway Maple springs to mind Acer platanoides "Crimson King" This would probably not get as big as the Copper Beech though. There is a purple leaved Sycamore called Acer pseudoplatanus "Atropurpureum" which could get to 25m high. I would recommend that the Beech when felled, has the stump ground down to reduce the possibility of a heavy infestation of Honey Fungus
  16. The common people spoke the common tongue, and the nobles spoke French, and did so up until Edward III had an epiphany about being English and decided we should all speak the common tongue.
  17. It is essential having Latin names for plants, it would be a nightmare when ordering plants from abroad. For example imagine ordering 50 Box elders from Holland (Acer negundo) and 50 Box and 50 Elders turn up!!!
