This came in my inbox, thought I should pass it along. The pdf file is about 83k, so it's somewhat large.

Thanks Dan,

A few thoughts-

63.5.7.2.8 - Amen! There are far too many trees dying from deeply buried organic materials, whether they are killed by kindness, ignorance, or the reliance upon manufactured soils.

62.20 - Might read: "Lifting chain, certified - an overhead lift certified chain for a rated load capacity, Grade 80 alloy only."

(IMHO, if operators grumble about the price of grade 80, and still want to lift heavy things over people and property, then they have no business doing so in the first place.)

63.5.3.7.2 - Might read something like "Drum lacing of rootballs over one ton (approx 60" Ø) should be laced with 5-ply sisal twine or doubled 3-ply twine. Twine spacing of drum lacing on sides of ball should not exceed 8".

I'm not the one to tell. But thanks for posting the suggestions. I think the contact that I included is who the comments were supposed to go to.
