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 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 -
??? 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......

Osmanthus x burkwoodii or Ilex crenata Have used both to replace Buxus sempervirens hedges riddled with blight. Both look great [emoji106]

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]

Going to the filling station must feel like setting fire to £50 notes [emoji85]??[emoji383][emoji383]

Hi Mike, Is there any wiggle room with spending on forwarder? Eg. Use some more of your collateral on towing vehicle. It’s no good having the dogs b****x of a forest machine if you keep braking down/have towing problems getting to site?! Cheers I

Good points made by all. Anyone who has run their own business in this trade, however big or small, will understand too well that being the gaffer means you are often no longer able to focus on the various practical skills of Arboriculture, because you are so focused on keeping the priced works coming in. I think the job offer on the table, perhaps along with a little tinkering suggested by Kriss and Stephen is about as near as possible to having your cake and eating it if you truly love the Arb game, want to be paid a proper wage and not just running your own business because of the buzz of chasing the money has perhaps clouded our vision of why we entered the trade in the first place. Sounds a very good opportunity to me, Good luck Cheers I -
A really good thread Big J, I guess it's got a lot of us all thinking. But does it go all the way back round to the fact that if you have a pretty much infinite wood fuel supply, that pretty much the only cost of converting it into heat is your labour, then to have it as one of your heat sources (albeit not solely relied on, so not to require constant labour intensive wood processing on your part) in tandem with perhaps a GSHP system is the answer? Again, great read guys thank you Cheers I

Hi Miker, I guess what area of the country you are using it in and on what, but pretty much this time of the year I'd say thumbs up to Stere's advice Glysophate based herbicides tend to be most efficient in the growing season and with plenty of surface area of contact to work on. So if treating Mares tail or the like, using a wetting agent/surfactant along with "smashing" the stems up a bit can help the chemical take. Plus waiting till Spring gives you more "green" for it to work on. If your client is getting impatient then get the flame thrower out! Cheers I

Mmm I've got it in both since Chrimble. Ibruprofen, Ice/heat, strap your forearm/s. Don't use your saw/hedgecutter for a bit!:huh:

Good evening all, Apologies if I've posted this in the wrong place. I'm after a Chip site in the Alderley Edge, Cheshire, SK9 area Mon/Tues 8th/9th Feb. Probably 3 or 4 Landy 110 Chip box loads of Conifer chip with the cord wood as well if possible. If anyone can help, I'd be very grateful Cheers Guys

Thanks for all the posts Fellas, although seems to be a few discrepancies in the prices. I guess it's down to the old chestnut of what your business model needs to make it work. It's gonna put a hole in half a day everything being even, so a half days money me thinks. If It all goes swimmingly happy days, if not I haven't lost out completely!

Thank you White Noise appreciate it
