    i stopped for a bloke on the a34 today he had ran out of diesel and had his wife and kid in the car with him i took him to the service station and brought him back to his car but all the time i was wondering how he was going to scam me seems sad to think that even genuine people are now treat with caution due to one or two bad eggs apperantly the guy i helped had been waiting near an hour and nobody had stopped to even ask if they could help

    looks like i need to up my price a little then i usually work away for a fair days wage and if i can squeeze whatever it costs in campsite fees for the camper then im happy. however i have three kids and a wife at home so working away is like a holiday for me

    is that stuarts park your working at paul looks like it. take the kids there quite regular and have often wondered if it was perhaps mbro council did something about the trees over the play area. if you are still on site take a walk up toward the ponds at the top the trees between the pond and the museum are where i first experienced tree climbing aged about 3

    I've used magnesium salts (Epsom salts) as a folier spray for mag deficit before I cant remember the dilution rate but it provided an almost overnight pick me up as others have said a ph test and even a macro nutrient test would show the problem and if soil ph is too high remove some soil and replace with acidic compost or even soil from elsewhere in the garden and feed with eriocatious fertilizer during the growing season

    Happened on my cs38 walking out on a limb about 20foot from the stem slipped when another guy in the tree jumped off his branch my secondary anchor snapped out and I took a massive swing ended up about 4ft from the ground. Lesson learned was if I wouldn't hang off it then its no good as a secondary. Ended up upside down a few times last week on a wet walnut tree the customer thought it was hilarious

    Its not just ex pats think like that I was asked to quote on half an acre of bramble and self set sycamore up to shout 4 inch dia have then a competitive price as I could do with the work and they gulped and said they expected it to be about fifty quid for the lot including waste disposal. They weren't shy of a few bob either. Needless to say I didn't get the job and they still have half an acre of scrub to clear
