  1. common lime a no no other limes not so bad
  2. off the top of my head strawberry tree? (not seen one for years)
  3. well rotted is good for veg growers
  4. pig nuts too you all
  5. as Beechwood said - kill the suckers in situ - come back next year to see the result - any new suckers then re apply, paint them with neat glyphosate - don't forget disclaimer.
  6. ive applied glyphosate to freshly cut black and white pops - a good dose was given and they suckered everywhere some coming up through tarmac. I used to put a disclaimer with the quote to account for the possibility of such a scenario
  7. not always
  8. Yes its quite intensive- you have done surveys - that helps. It also helps if you have read Shigo and Matthech, good fungal Id, and a few years experience in the industry. If you hold the above criteria and have the academic ability of a level 3 nvq then you should take it.
  9. Just heard today I passed my Lantra P T I - just want to share it with the world nothing more:beer:
  10. the hawk moth caterpillars are on walk about now, looking for somewhere to pupate
  11. I hated this one from a couple of yrs ago - leaning over a property - smothered in ivy
  12. I did one similar - it was breezy and the crack was expanding and contracting in the breeze - I had no brace on it - didn't hang around - never again
  13. turn the book upside down:001_smile:
  14. right now - looks good through the bins
  15. first question-yes to prevent movement. second question - yes for part of the job. Its definatly a job for a seasoned pro but to be honest not that difficult
  16. I would first attach a support rope on the failed limb, to the tree on the right, then cut the butt end down to what looks like a supporting branch on the on the right tree (rope your self to this tree to do that). I would then take off any branches on the failed limb that are not supporting the failed limb, then the critical cut would be cutting the failed limb as high as possible so when it swings back its high enough to miss the fence. but why not take the staples out of the posts until the fence lays flat, and mabe take the post out that's closest, and the last cut would not be critical. hope that makes sense
  17. From the pic above looks a healthy tree to me
  18. well it does look similar but we cant see the leaves or tree form - It would be obvious then
  19. I wonder if a section was cut from the tree and placed on the soil surface or a planting medium, It would propagate? If so how small a section would be required to do so.
  20. new one on me
  21. yes - Perhaps the long range weather forecast baton has been passed on, the BBC said they were giving up on it from their appalling record over the last 3 yrs
