Yes, drip is the most efficient for defeating hydrophobia and penetration. And it would shorten the dry periods by the time the truck gets back. It’s a good idea.

They look interesting from a cursory search I did after reading. We still drive laden trucks and manually water because there is no such thing as a fuel crisis. Bags are not something we do here or have seen done.

As the El Nino keeps forming and hitting record temps, mortality will increase and our urban soils, due to sprawl, are heavily modified with negative characteristics not really compatible with tree growth/health which makes that survival harder.

That said, we just had a record bout of rain for a Spring El Nino (usually hot and dry), another first/record broken for climate change.

I work in the industry and this doesn’t align with our results at all. I suppose if you paint everything with a broad brush, the shitty urban areas kept swept up in with cities that actually look after and care for their trees.

In my perspective, we aren’t doing enough for both areas but I’m from a bogan area of Australia so maybe the outlier. If it ain’t beef or gas/coal, or a crisp new diesel dual cab ute, fuck looking after it.

I’m sorry. My entire knowledge of America is based on a short clip in the 1992 seminal classic, Wayne’s World.

It’s like people only do things because they get paid. And that’s just really sad.

Howdy, partners.

Let’s raise and rope broncos.

Howdy, y’all.
