    Rope Cabling for Static Use

    Who makes the Wesspur tree guard. I use the Yale Guardian (in a custom gray color that is very camo!!) I like the simplicity of the setup. We do dynamic and we do steel. If it's a static load, the tree is getting the steel treatment. To me, steel makes more sense on small ornamental trees...

    any thoughts about the timing of air spading

    We do a bit of vertical mulching. I couldn't imagine teaching a client that compaction is the enemy, and then telling them to wait. If compaction is the issue, my goal is to blast the soil ASAP. love nick

    Radial trenching, what to replace with the soil?

    We use a blend of fine screened mulch, this bagged product (Recycled forest products, arbor fines, composted chicken manure, gypsum, oyster shell & dolomite limes , worm casting, bat guano, kelp meal) then I add perlite for aeration. I keep toying with the recipe. The two ingredients I've...

    Arbor Trolley

    I think it's not THAT expensive to ship it. Even if it's like $50 to ship, that's a sweet deal for whoever gets it. I almost want to buy it to have a second trolley on hand!

    How to efficiently estimate a job!!

    Ew not me. I see a wide variety of potential jobs. I cherry pick the best ones. If they are good for my company and where I think we can succeed and make a happy customer, I push hard to get those jobs. If it's crummy work, jerk customer, or far from HQ, I'm happy to let those go to the...

    What kind of pills are they? I sure as hell would check to make sure it's not Claritin before I go reporting anybody. love nick

    Glyphosate (Round Up): Toxic?

    Some people can't do that. A lot of people can't do it. Not having money for stump removal is common. Not being able to get to your stump is common. Salt, vinegar, baking soda or other concoctions just don't work. RoundUp kills things well. love nick

    Salesman reimbursement?

    I think the get the commission on every job or on no job. Of course some jobs are going to be under bid. Some will be over bid. Some will be spot on. It should all balance out. love nick

    How do you hire?

    1- no- i think that's disrespectful to make candidates stare each other down in the same interview. 2- I personally think you're buying the time from the person. His value doesn't change because you aren't scheduling him right. But I would ask him. Maybe I'm way off base here. love nick

    Back-Log, what is too much?

    I disagree. There are other ways to grow beyond moving more wood. A five week back log puts you in a power position. You can bid strong, avoid crap work, and you sleep easy at night knowing you don't have to worry about an open day on next Tuesday's schedule. I say you start bidding a lot...
