Re: Help! How can I make more room for my trees?
Yeah I think I am thinking of past experience and throwing the odd wild growing seedling out. Baby steps
Ok there is at least one tree I know should go. I will stick it up for a day auction and if no one wants it by the end of the day it will go in the bin. Or maybe I should take it to the meeting on the weekend

It's too bad your in such a hurry cause the stories I could tell you, Bushels and baskets of stories, hole crates full of stories. But if you can spare a moment I will tell you one story.

Hi Brett, I saw some places in Japan where the bulk of the collection was on the roof.

Your lawn could do with some sulphate of ammonia and a good drink

Thanks VS but as far as I know that is frost damage, looks worst just before spring. Happens every year but as usual is lush, green and needs mowing once a week at the moment.

Hi Brett, so far this is the only suggestion that makes sense (from my more than slightly biased point of view).Jamie wrote:instead of trying to create more space why dont you grow smaller trees??
Whack them.

Re: Help! How can I make more room for my trees?
By the way Bretts, was that a set of barbells i spied in one of the pictures
Are you using them to weigh branches down or are you secretly PUMPING IRON
Had a fair bit of weight on it
60kilo's i'd reckon, a tad rusty though
