    In a nutshell Khriss you’ve hit the nail on the head [emoji106] Arbwork can be a dangerous, expensive, dirty, exhausting, stressful job. As a professional the job costs what you price it at. If you make on the timber as well, then Bingo. Beer money for the lads, ticket to the footie for the kids at the weekend etc, etc. If he gets a hobbyist, wood fairy or mate of a mate who will come and do it for free, well that’s up to him. Don’t think he’d be too happy if it all goes Pete tong though and he ends up with an uninsured industrial accident on his private property! Cheers I

    Never really thought about that Mick [emoji106] I guess in a way not much different to reed beds.

    I agree with you Ben. No to Rhodies, Bamboo and Laurel. They’d ruin the land, look out of place and don’t really offer anything wholesale for the birds and bugs. What about going along the lines of a mixed stand of Scots pines, Atlas cedar or Douglas fir. I know it’s not “screen” but if privacy is that important how bout re-wild it with blackthorn, sallow etc,etc. The wildlife it would attract, pollination etc far better than the dreaded laurel....

    That’s it I’m packing up! The world is going to be run be machines and robots, was going to watch Arnie and Terminator tonight as well, don’t think I will now![emoji848]?? Great bit of operator and machine skill there, dexterity of a giant playing tiddlywinks [emoji106][emoji106]

    Seem to remember a good while ago someone posted a picture on Arbtalk of a set up in Germany I think, a VW transporter van with a turntable chipper mounted to the flatbed and a tipper trailer behind? Like you say is a complicated alternative to chipper towed behind tipper Cheers I

    I’ve used green waste compost as a mulch. I think it all depends on where you source it from. Some of the stuff has been so well rotted, turned and free draining it’s been more of a medium to just keep the weeds down and help the soil retain its moisture. We landscaped and heavily planted a relatively new build property, with little or no existing topsoil, using an excellent product from Dalesfoot composts in Cumbria. Using this stuff to mulch around the planted areas as feed, and the cheaper sterile (low/nil nutrient) compost to bulk up the other poorly soiled areas Cheers I

    Saturday afternoon in North Yorkshire [emoji106][emoji944][emoji295]️

    Are the stakes and binders hazel? How did you source them? Did you coppice them yourself? The job has transformed that hedge, great legacy for nature and I’m not surprised your punters are chuffed, that’s great to see every time you drive home.

    That’s the dogs diddlers [emoji106][emoji106] great job!

    Looks like proper graft does that![emoji106][emoji4]

    That’s a good do Swampster [emoji106] Tree ident can be a right head scratcher, especially some evergreens, seeing them in the green is never quite like the piccies in the books. The great thing about our job is we are always seeing something new/different and we never stop learning. I’ve got some lovely elderly clients who have brains like botanical encyclopaedias, they can make you feel a bit of a dunce sometimes ?

    Cryptomeria japonica can look very like Juniper when young shoots, that looks pretty close. Otherwise Chinese fir? Or one of the sequoia family. If it was Spring then Swampy leaves look a bit like that? Cheers I
  17. Yorkshire Brummie
    ??? it's like something off Wacky races! Cheers i

    Looks great ? Miss mine. Usual story, got fed up with repairs as it was my everyday relied upon workhorse. Got rid of it and for some reason now go all misty eyed when I see one! ?? I'm sure I'm not the only one......
  22. Yorkshire Brummie
    Osmanthus x burkwoodii or Ilex crenata Have used both to replace Buxus sempervirens hedges riddled with blight. Both look great [emoji106]

    That’s some Kite [emoji106][emoji4]

    The Disco is earning its corn [emoji106] Like you say, dragging that lot about, fuel economy is pretty irrelevant! Great to be working in such fabulous scenery. There’s some wonderful wilderness North o’the border [emoji268][emoji268][emoji268][emoji4]
