I don't like to see trees cut down needlessly but there are times when it's unavoidable.
I agree

Same here, cranberry, I love them too, but not when the roots have gone under my kitchen floor. I go off 'em a bit then.

Re: Staying put.
Please can anyone explain in REALLY SIMPLE, IDIOT- PROOF language, what the following means:"Moisture content comparison with plastic limit is a reliable indicator of desiccation, whilst moisture depletion at the depths identified are beyond that to which ambient soil drying can be influential and thereby indicate a vegetative influence in the movement/damage."
And another bit talks about "severe desiccation in accordance with BRE digest 412 from 400 mm to 1400 mm below ground level."
Lastly, this bit - " Attenberg testing for soils recovered in TP/BH3 showed the soil moisture content to be below plastic limit at 900 mm ground level."
1. What is 'severe desiccation'?
2. What is BRE Digest?
3. What does 'plastic' limit' mean?
If anyone can explain this simply, before you post, please revise your answer to make it even simpler than simple.
Thankyou.
..... sorry !!!

Re: Staying put.
Well, it looks like it's just us 3 M's - Mups, Myrtle & Mags here, but seeing as none of us know, looks like I shall have to grow old never knowing, forever wondering and scratching my head, totally lost and bewildered, and all alone in the horrid world of surveying and legal stuff.
