    What's killing arborvitae?

    Last few years have seen alot of established arbs die. Most alarming was a screen of 45’ green giants blocking a huge parking lot, just brown and dead. I think it’s largely a culmination of abiotic stresses.

    I'm growing the PHC side of my business. How can I better utilize my one-ton service truck?

    I’d consider a larger nurse tank, with two small mixing tanks (30-50gal), mounted to the rails. You could build out a frame so it’s not actually resting on the bed rails and have the ability to pull it out of the truck when necessary.

    helmet with mesh visor

    I have a clear face shield for my Kask. They’re set up is so damn stupid to put any kind of visor/shield on, but it is a good shield.

    Cable hardware question

    I’d go direct if possible with the unions on that tree. Way less components to potentially fail.

    Yeah I have some gripes with arborjet as far as support and proprietary parts for operation go. Plugs are a bit of a pet peeve of mine now. I just don’t think they’re necessary with the right set up. And it’s just more plastic and trash. So many plugs, even when set well I have seen push out...

    Bigger fan of the q connect over the quikjet air, especially if it’s not a daily use piece of equipment. I will say the quikjet I was doing 75-100 Ash a day (with a helper), so it’s a very efficient system. But there’s just so many moving parts and things that can and will go wrong. If you’re...

    Eminectin benzoate rates

    I work in Canada occasionally and got a crash course on the challenges. Are imidicloprid or even dinotefuran products just not available? It was my understanding imidicloprid could be used, but it was next to impossible to get.

    That’s pretty frustrating. Are you located in Canada? I know up there is a big challenge.

    I should have clarified, I don’t think they have a preference of one over the other. More so that healthy or not Ash are at risk. If you’re in an area of emerging EAB all ash should be treated.

    With ash you’re probably too late if the stress is due to EAB. They target healthy trees.

    Is it time to replace the bungee on my Big Shot?

    This is always the answer.

    I think it’s an interesting example of the slippery slope. ICE has been allowed to enter places of worship without a warrant for a year now. Now they can enter your home.

    I do not feel any sympathy for Maduro. But time will tell how good this is. I have heard that the corruption is so bad that it extends from the presidential level all the way down to smaller local levels. That doesn’t just up and change with the removal of one man. Regime change almost never...

    I swear every interaction I see of ICE it’s like they are trained to escalate the situation rather than de-escalate.
