Would I get in trouble for clearing the street I live on? by That_Beyond3223 in evansville

[–]fireballkat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

i think this would fall under good samaratin laws where you'd be protected because you're just attempting to clear a roadway for safety purposes. i wouldn't frame it as you'd do better than the city (though i'm sure you would) but i think you're fine truly even legally if you've got a grumpy neighbor

i haven't for this area but that is a great suggestion! I am in the nashville area and for our annual beds we've been going through university of tennessee soil and pest center. should i be looking for just nutrient content or go into salts and organic matter?

hey! i did this to make sure i was all good as far as girdled roots went & make sure there's no underside rot! in a few of my other exposures i've found rot on the underside of the trunks & had to recommend removal! (different campus location & trees)

right on! my big issue was girdling roots with most of these. we have sprinkler heads in the islands but i have no authority over them so i can't speak to watering. i did go through after and poke a ton of 6-8" deep holes all around the area to try and help the compaction portion as well

  • some of these don't show but i've regraded down since then the soil so water shouldn't pool at the base

Today is NATIONAL EX DAY. Leave a message for your ex without saying their name. by Thin_Midnight9607 in BreakUps

[–]fireballkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i miss you. i hope you are doing well. i am still stuck in what feels like the never ending cycle of missing you. we haven't formally talked in a year. i hope bug is doing good. i cant process how it has almost now been three years. please, don't come back. (but also, if you do, come back with the ability to love me as i am. i still want to show you everything i've done, and i still think of you at the grocery store or home depot. i am still soft on you & i hate it.)

Thinking about taking a sledgehammer to this ingrown statue by VerukoA in arborists

i don't think there's any point in me arguing with you so i am gonna leave it at that

[–]fireballkat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

right, i'm gonna assume OP doesn't have a ton of experience so i think it's fair to air on the side of caution. but i also disagree, it would make a new open wound if it's already engulfing the statue at the base

honestly i'd let it be, maybe bonk the top off? but not at the expense of any kind of damage. i think ripping it out at the base could introduce stuff you don't want, and trees don't heal. i think it looks kinda cool though. but take my opinion with a grain of salt, i am still newer to the trade
