Girdling for good manners

[Stumper]

Hello, all!
frankly, I don't know what I'd do with the piles of chips, needles, etc. if I chipped it!

Thanks again!

Tom

Tom, Mulch your world man. Mulch your world.

Frans, girdling is an accepted practice, properly done, in silviculture.

Stumper:

Yeah, but the wife wants all that fancy colored stuff, you know... Crazy buying it when you got it hanging there for free, huh?

Canguy21:

Glad to hear that. I girdled one of mine over the weekend, just to experiment. BTW, what's silviculture?

Yes, there are many simularities in all fields of endeavor.
Girdling is done in grape fields where the pholem is cut to restrict the flow of nutrients back down to the roots and divert it to making larger grapes.
Declining fruit orchard trees were shot with buckshot in the trunks to do the same thing.
but what you said really has no meaning whatsoever with the topic at hand other than being an irrelevent fact thrown into the mix. Sorta like saying "how about that weather" in a disscussion of, say Dog grooming.
