Oliver Castledine replied to Guy Jones's discussion Subcontractors wall collapsed"I have been involved in a lot of retaining walls over the years and can tell you instantly that there is no way that wall would stay stood up. No way...even without heavy rain. Look at the relief of the soil behind it. Its very steep and all the…"
Clive Dearden replied to Oliver Castledine's discussion 'better built' tree anchors"Better method in my opinion. I use Gripple tensioners with galv cable passed over a picture frame, on top of the root ball. This allows for a much slimmer profile and easier to disguise with a layer of bark, but still accessible should re-tensioning…"
Neil Petrie BSc Landscape Mgt replied to Oliver Castledine's discussion 'better built' tree anchors"Thanks for that. I've been looking into tree anchors lately. Platipus is the only one offered by two of my suppliers, Green-tech and ALS.

Oliver Castledine commented on Phil Voice's group British landscaping and horticultural policy group"Thats a better idea (Helen) in my mind. Nobody from the public (when i say public i mean those with gardening, design interests that are not commercial) is going to pay £150 to join LJN, no way."
Oliver Castledine commented on Phil Voice's group British landscaping and horticultural policy group"Youve got to come up with something smarter than a blanket membership fee.
I mean, who is going to join?"
Oliver Castledine commented on Phil Voice's group British landscaping and horticultural policy group"Do a poll.
Im pretty sure you charge £150 a year membership, probably half the current members will dissapear."
