Exactly, made a rod for your own back there Stu. Ps. I estimate you could make 2134 aforementioned rods for your own back out of that crown.
-
Others may differ, and I’d respect their opinion…. But I’d rip them out and replace with smaller plants in the autumn.

Leylandii don’t really like being transplanted as they get older. Very often clients ask for bigger plants to give instant screening, but they don’t take. I have had experience of insurance jobs where we’ve put bigger plants (like yours) in and they died. You'd have been better off starting with smaller (1 to 1.5 meters) plants from pots, without removing the lower branches. My guess is they’ll all perish.
-
They look too big to have been replanted, where did you buy them and were they bare rooted or in a pot?
-
Where are you Nicki?

Lots of folks are fighting battles you are unaware of J So attack them while they’re distracted!

Looks like a lot of money for a pretty old 13hp loader. Very often the thing you buy cheaply to ‘tide you over’ is the thing that prevents you getting what you really need.

Pink wisteria out.

Same really. Back to normal or near as possible here in France.
-
Bloody infuriating!
-
I may have missed it, but how did you break your collarbone?
-
From what I read on here and ads on FB it should be fairly easy to find work in Australia.
-
To the OP. Try working as a groundy for a while on your days off, get a feel for the business and earn a few quid at the same time, plus building contacts. If you’re still keen you can start training and all that.
-
‘Disguised employment’ Very good way of putting it, and very true.
-
One of these days I’m going to do a review of the three types of grab, Knockabout, fixed (Klou type) and rotator, pros and cons,that type of thing.
-
With the Avants/Multione the grab you use, and how it affects balance/steering/maneouvering wood is more important than the actual machine.
-
Thanks Henri, I’m ok, no need to talk in private. -
Ok, disingenuous then.
-
It’s your truck, they’re on your time. Put trackers on the trucks, I would. If they’re stopping at the bakery or Maccy Ds to pick up some lunch on the way, fair enough. Otherwise, get to where you’re meant to be.
-
I see you’ve posted it on Arbtalk FB now. Lets be frank, or at least I will be. The free webinar, the FB site for Tree Surgeon Business owners, the posting on forums and FB sites is to generate interest in your courses and masterminding (whatever that is) I don’t mind a bit of hustle, but cloaking it in altruism is sneaky.
-
Ok, so the webinar is free, but the mastermind and training courses cost money, is that right?
-
I dunno Henry, you do seem to be obsessing with this business failure thing. Why not just say what happened, how you sorted it out and started again on here? No need for all this webinar, podcast, inspirational chit chat, it’s like you’ve made (“I had a business with 47 employees and lost it all including my family home”) it a commodity/asset that you’ll only reveal if people sign up to something. It’s the “no more roping for Nate” of 2022
-
Great shot!

Novice: top or rear handle 18v Makita for occasional use?

Not the worst idea I’ve heard. Good shout. -
