planthelper Posted March 7, 2005 it's a lot of work where ever you look, and i am anxious about the big eucalyptus pilularis growing in the garden. it's exxie to have them removed, but thats what i planed. aswell i will have to learn how to climb a tree with saftyharness and rope, myselfe just to save money... just finished cleaning out the rainwatertank, a hard steamy job, now i hope for rain... the whole garden was overgrown with tall grasses, well we all know how hard it is to mowe them down... i haven't done much nursery work yet, but i can say i am lucky because my place has more water (=lush) than most other parcels in town. my neighbours are selling there house, for allmost 3 times than what i paid. well ther house is more than twice as good as mine but, my block is much bigger than there's. it's a nice 1600m2 and something block, right in town, a 8min walk to all the shops!! a 3km walk gets me to the dam, the towns watersupply, which is stocked with various fish and some red claws. my house is a small minors cottage build out of wood, i bought it because apart from the shower cubicle (as saver coated splash boards) it CONTAINS NO ASBESTOS!!! :D if any of you knows about top lopping trees and safty harnesses and petzl stop, pls let me know. btw, ethno weeds found on property so far, sida spp; mirabilis spp; cestrum spp; ------------------------------------------- ...whilst my syphon, gently bubbles...

DuG Posted March 7, 2005 about chopping trees, learn how to use the equipment. And i recommend the splean "whale tail" or a rack as a decending device. These types are a lot easier to stop and lock off than most other devices. oh and use an electric chainsaw. It may take longer but it can be safer than petrol I have only chopped down little tress so far but there is a big gum overhanging a nice QLD kaori pine at my place that needs taking out.

Torsten Posted March 8, 2005 if you have a local TAFE they would probably run arborist courses that you could attend once a week for a few weeks. It will give you certification so you could even do it as a profession .... and may save your life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
