.Why the flame thrower conversion?
I read that as ... " I know a better way to get rid of these darn plants rather than spraying them "
BURN UM!
.Why the flame thrower conversion?
The Di.....the Richard..the...craniu....the idiots grow Lantana in their gardens over here. I couldn't believe when I was a kid and came to Perth and saw them growing Arum Lillies in their gardens: Arum Lillies are how a young bloke learns how to convert a knapsack sprayer into a flame thrower
Where are arum lilies originally from? Does anybody actually know?
Is that like Hawthorn?..I saw Hawthorn hedges down the mornington peninsula stop a Drott dead in its tracks. That stuff was tough and horror prickly so a brown dog wouldn't go in it.
yes Bellboy....they are a natives species of ...South Africa
I knew that! Also, the boxthorn says that it is "African Boxthorn" even though I have never seen it around here. One thing that we here inn South Africa, particularily in KwaZulu Natal, is bugweed. Anybody heard of it? It has rather large and unsightly leaves, hairy if thats the right way to describe it, light, furry, green bark, and round bauble like seeds. they are a real nuisance because they take forever to kill, and the only sure fire way to do this is to coat the bark with a mixture of diesel and herbicide.
Back to the thread, what is that machine pictured R'nR?
RnR , did you make any money with that machine ? Are you still doing it ?
=Rocksn'Roses;157073 ..........these trees were planted many years ago, as a memorial to the service men and women who lost their lives in both wars, but no, that didn't matter, cut them down. ............ I just think there are other areas, where the money would be better spent.
Rn'R.
This is the township of Ledgerwood in Tasmania . ........... a chainsaw artist was employed to carve these amazing figures to remember the men and women who have served their country . .
That is absolutely amazing, Iron Horse... what a magnificent way to show respect and pay homage... :thumbsup :thumbsupThere are many carvings in the park . Some are of men writing letters home , some are saying goodbye and i think the one with the little girl on a mans shoulders is the day one man came home . If you hav'nt got a tear in your eye by the time you get to this one , your a harder man than I .
What a great idea, Iron Horse, and they will have a memorial that will last for all time, with a little bit of up keep. At least some people are thinking.
