Funny you mention that.... I just got back from the Mac ISA meeting and saw this for the first time. I like the fact that there are no plugs.... I am looking into this further

No problem, yep my names Ryan. I'm from Virginia originally. Worked in the Washington DC area for about 6 years or so, then in Pittsburgh and western PA for about 3. Last 6 months I've been working as a transmission utility forester in West Virginia. My fiancé is an animal science professor at...

That's deep. Pretty common unfortunately. Do you ever find that the newly exposed root flare, especially on thin barked trees, is now vulnerable to attacks by wood boring pests? I've seen this happen more often than not on Rcx projects where the flare was buried for a long time on maples.

Doesn't water make kind of a mess? How do you manage the cleanup?

I just checked out that thread at treebuzz. Haven't been there in a long time, that place looks totally different. I don't care for the new look. Interesting thread though. I've used both the Air Spade and the Air Knife. The Air Knife ran off of those 375 cfm compressors and it was like firing...

I typed that on an iPhone so sorry about the typos, but you get the picture. Feel free to pm any questions as well.

I felt like I became a real arborist and not just a tree guy when I started getting serious about it.

Thanks Bigtwig, I have a pretty good background in IPM, I'm wanting to make it a larger part of my currently very small, on the side tree care business. I worked for Bartlett in both the Washington DC area and the Pittsburgh PA area, and ran IPM routes in both places. Now that I have moved to...

I wanted to see how many of you included plant pest management as part of your list of services. Herbicide work included. I'm interested in how people in different parts of the world and in different markets manage this aspect of the business, what kind of equipment and application systems you...
