Thanks Steve. I enjoy using this site. I've added a link to ArbTalk on a recent post.

Thought this was an interesting article from Germaine Greer in The Telegraph -- Worth a look. Germaine Greer: Don't panic about ash dieback. Look at the science - Telegraph

These are the most satisfying jobs -- The garden's transformed. Fair play, mate.

This probably worth a new thread, but Sandy related. Oh My God ... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZlZUsqkVx8]HURRICANE SANDY 3 TREES FALL AND FIRE!! - YouTube[/ame]

It hurt just watching that. That was a kamikaze maneuver ...

That has to be the bottom line. Not only are we supposed to be surgeon's but legally savvy too. In the event of any confusion always cover yourself.

Good job!! We're trying to do more fencing at the moment too.

No, I'd agree. Good way to end the day. Too dry and too light are 1's we've heard alot. It's not the most profitable way to spend our time, so we don't re-service 'high maintenance' customers.

Congratulations Chris -- That's looking great out there.

That's a new one on me Arb Man Sam. This could purely anecdotal, but if you ever try it, let me know. I'd be curious to know the result

That's great advice Ginja. The basics endure. From the outset you to need to balance the books and remember your primary marketing tool is word of mouth recommendations. Develop relationships with experienced peers. Lastly, don't forget your online presence. That's increasingly important in the post Yellow Pages climate.

Love Christmas. Already loosening my belt and stuffing my face with mince pies.

Just looking through Tim's gallery now -- The mans a Master.

I've just seen this event -- Shame we missed it. Axe throwing competitions, tug-of-war and Arb master classes? Sounds great. I'll keep an eye out for times and dates next year.

That's an amazing video and music's perfect. That's not just a tree -- It's more like a mountain.
