I haven't heard of 340 00:18:22,855 --> 00:18:25,575 Speaker 3: it going real quick, I know, I never ever heard 341 00:18:25,615 --> 00:18:26,495 Speaker 3: of going that far. 342 00:18:27,015 --> 00:18:29,495 Speaker 5: That would be I bought them as large trees. That 343 00:18:29,575 --> 00:18:32,295 Speaker 5: mind you, I bought them as large trees. I got 344 00:18:32,335 --> 00:18:35,255 Speaker 5: them installed as large trees, and then it's been them 345 00:18:35,295 --> 00:18:36,535 Speaker 5: for about ten years. 346 00:18:36,975 --> 00:18:39,775 Speaker 3: No, to be quite honest, I did not know that. 347 00:18:39,855 --> 00:18:42,215 Speaker 3: But what you then need to start doing is actually 348 00:18:42,335 --> 00:18:45,495 Speaker 3: get some dig around the Melbury trees and make sure 349 00:18:45,495 --> 00:18:49,215 Speaker 3: that you start intercepting those roots before they go that far. 350 00:18:50,135 --> 00:18:50,855 Speaker 4: Do you know what I mean? 351 00:18:50,935 --> 00:18:55,055 Speaker 5: It's just incredible. And also there was a drain that 352 00:18:55,175 --> 00:18:57,295 Speaker 5: I came across which I didn't even know I had 353 00:18:57,575 --> 00:19:00,815 Speaker 5: When I was I dug right down to remove all 354 00:19:00,895 --> 00:19:05,255 Speaker 5: of the soil and that rose gardens. And I came 355 00:19:05,295 --> 00:19:07,815 Speaker 5: across a drain and I saw the roots even in 356 00:19:08,015 --> 00:19:13,215 Speaker 5: that way down. Unbelievable. You wouldn't even be able to 357 00:19:13,535 --> 00:19:18,255 Speaker 5: get around that deep and that and that far. Seriously 358 00:19:19,975 --> 00:19:22,335 Speaker 5: but spooky. I'm thinking, do I need to cut those 359 00:19:22,415 --> 00:19:23,895 Speaker 5: trees down? I love those trees? 360 00:19:23,935 --> 00:19:27,695 Speaker 3: But yeah, not a little question. Do you have Boo 361 00:19:27,695 --> 00:19:28,535 Speaker 3: to car a nearby? 362 00:19:30,855 --> 00:19:31,055 Speaker 5: No? 363 00:19:31,895 --> 00:19:34,895 Speaker 3: Okay, I know Peter and Peter and I know that 364 00:19:35,535 --> 00:19:37,015 Speaker 3: we can do this sort of nonsense. 365 00:19:37,615 --> 00:19:38,455 Speaker 5: I know that too. 366 00:19:38,775 --> 00:19:42,055 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, but I hadn't heard of I had not. 367 00:19:42,215 --> 00:19:44,135 Speaker 3: I have never heard that of Melbourny trees. 368 00:19:44,775 --> 00:19:47,015 Speaker 2: I wouldn't blame the tree though. It's problem with the drain. 369 00:19:47,055 --> 00:19:48,775 Speaker 2: It's not the tree. The trees still not trees. 370 00:19:48,815 --> 00:19:52,455 Speaker 3: Do there you go? Good boy? 371 00:19:52,855 --> 00:19:56,815 Speaker 2: Back in the mow. Oh what a busy old morning, rood. 372 00:19:57,295 --> 00:19:59,815 Speaker 3: We've been fairly flat out, haven't we. But it's been 373 00:19:59,855 --> 00:20:02,015 Speaker 3: good so we've got the little worm to check out. 374 00:20:02,615 --> 00:20:06,855 Speaker 3: But anyway, and I'll see if I can.
