we are going to plant the willows in groups of 3 and pollard them when ready to start a 3 year pollard cycle.

Hi, I've got a job working on a housing estate and we have settled on a planting plan for a slope composed of heavy clay. the birch originally planted on the slope have not done well. I have tested the soil and it is within normal ranges for most nutrients and ranges from 7-8 ph. the only issue is drainage with water currently sitting 12 inches below the surface in some areas. weeping willow is being planted to attempt to dry the site out, along with some rowan (client is very keen on the rowan) Am i correct in thinking to use very little organic matter in the hole with some sand to help break up the clay? should i plant the rowan on a slight mound to help with drainage? Thanks for your help.

I use rotatech chains quite allot. i don't really like sharpening particularly depth gauges unless its on a top handle i want 100% perfect. they do stay sharper for longer than oregon in my experience, but they are also harder to sharpen, i think the steal has been over blued or something. they are great for chains you can chuck and put a new one on without worrying about the cost too much, but not for say you favourite saw.
