Good morning my new brother and sister tree lovers. I am new to your site and look forward to lots of educating communication.I am not very knowligable on tree care as you will learn, however my passion and love for trees is sincere.I am in the middle of a pond building project ,with alot of trees around the area. I have a great deal of fill dirt that must go around some of these trees. This is where I am going to need some help.Will post pictures of my project and the problems that have arose. Again thanks for the welcome and from deep in the heart of it all Ohio U.S.A have a great day. Pappy.

Pappy,

Get your camera ready and show us the trees and intended fill areas.

Also, have a stab at what the soil is, like clay, sand, silt, loam or dang rocks!

Structural supportive tree roots are usually within 10' of the trunk, then spreading way beyond the drip line of the tree is a vast network of "feeder" roots like the hair on your head (unless you're bald then hair elsewhere

).

Too much fill can suffocate tree roots as tree roots need air, so raising soil levels with hard clay is not so good, sandy loam is better. Even if you do a little each year the tree can fool you because the feeder roots will come to the surface and feed the tree but the larger supportive roots may dieback and decay ... it takes a long time but can happen.

So we can help but some pictures would be good.

Welcome. If you love trees you learn about them and how to treat them. This forum is a good start. Another might be the purchase of "Tree Basics, What Every Person Needs To Know About Trees" by Alex Shigo. Google it and you can order it over the internet.

Good job! Thank you for arborist sites and forums!

faller · 24th October 2008, 02:02 AM

Thanks for the welcome EKKA, it took me a couple of visits to navigate around the various "caves" you have on this site. all very interesting.

I work in the training and Occupational Health and Safety areas of the logging industry in Victoria and have for 20 years and I'll watch with interest what comes up on your site.

Ekka · 24th October 2008, 04:51 AM

Welcome Faller,

Good to have you here.

I've started a thread about training here.

Arboriculture| Arborist Training in Australia| Where to get it step by step

I want to ensure we stay as neutral as possible in our advice and don't promote say Sponsors who pay to advertise only like some Organisations do.

People should feel free to explore all the avenues of training, not just us, however they can choose us if they like, it's up to them.

I see training as everyone's right, and is an area that should be accessible/available to all. By helping people with the NTIS website I liken it to the age old phrase, teach a man to fish and you feed him for life.

If you can help out please do.

Hey gang,

Just checking out an additional tree forum. Got a lot of respect for our friend Ekka here, so I thought I'd stop by every so often and see how it goes down under.

Peace.

Ekka · 29th October 2008, 07:49 PM

Hey Big termite!

Like the name/nickname.. I check in on the site every few days from N.C. Ekka seems to be the perfect host. Randomly pick a topic that sounds new. Im guilty of not posting pics or video though, but sometimes cant get enough of watching them. Enjoy the site.
