He did this with all the rootes he found that were big enough.

I like it. You haven't entered the other person's property.

I'll remember that one.

OK to store Hydroflouric in plastic. While it will eat through anything silica-based, it will not eat through plastic. We use it a bit in gold mining assay labs. But whatever you do, don't get this stuff on your skin. It most likely won't hurt a bit - you may think that you have just splashed some water on yourself. But in a short while, it will attack the calcium in your bones, and when this starts, it virtually cannot be stopped.

Get over it!

As you and i both live in the city of Knox you will be well aware of the by-laws concerning trees and the penalties that apply to cutting or intentionally killing trees!

If you dont like trees i suggest that you move to the CBD!

FFS you live at the bottom of the Dandenong ranges and you dont like trees because they drop leaves!

*Shocked*

Off the record as i have NEVER done this......

Many years back we had a house on 5 acres with a very good Ocean view. Well the person across the road was pigmently challenged and had won a great deal of $$ and bought over from us, he planted some nice pines to block our view. Now the song "living next door to alan" springs to mind.
We went over and i ammused his german shepard and my parental parner in crime nailed about 8 or so copper nails in the base at ground level.
over the next few months they slowly died and he was left with several dead pine tree's, but he left them there....... they were worse than the live ones.
After he killed a bloke in a drunken driving episode he went off to the nice building with no veiws and his wife replaced the tree's with nice new ones.

Reminds me of a joke, Where's your Bin???, Wheely bin to jail but tell people i was on holidays.

ok, i'll go back and hide under my humpy......
