must be you figured out that for 10,000 gallons of water a tree would need to be a few HUNDRED feet tall to contain that amount of water

a column holding 10,000 gallons of water with a diameter of 4 feet would be how many feet tall?

would it be 10 feet, 20 feet, 30 feet, 40 feet... tall?

Stupefying.

Cylindrical

....stupefying....on your part that you are not able to do a simple 'quote' of a prior post

Stupefying. Your train of logic is still stuck at the station.

Much to the benefit of humanity, it's a good thing that you don't work in any field of science.

here is your formula

Formula:
3.1417 x R² x D
= Cubic Feet
****
Cubic ft x 7.47
= Gallons

now tell us how tall the tree would be...

No, that's YOUR formula and it's meaningless tripe. Your failure to consider variables ignores entirely, critical considerations such as percolation rate, soil constituents, density and compactness, absorption, runoff, mean table level, temperature, evaporation, membranous interference, capillary forces and at least a dozen other contributing factors.

Of course, I already explained all this to you. But like every fact you ever come across, you either prefer to ignore them or simply can't understand them. The results are the same, either way.

Not to mention that the the original issue is one of how much water one would need to properly water a Maple Tree thats' roots (of a given diameter) are partially shielded from water uptake due to sidewalk located a given distance from the trunk. You failed then as well to understand the basic geometry and hydrodynamics required to accurately aid in determining THAT equation. It was NOT about how tall a tree needs to be to... oh, never mind. What's the point, Schultzie?

You, of all people should recognize the dangers of pulling the scabs off of your deep, unhealed forum battle wounds. Hell, you're absolutely covered in 'em.

Enjoy your crow.

No, that's YOUR formula and it's meaningless tripe.

Secret Lawn Tonic Recipe From Golf Course Groundskeeper - Updated
by Paul Michael on 23

This recipe came from Tim Heffron, a former groundskeeper at a golf course. All you need are five common household ingredients and a 10-gallon hose-end sprayer. This recipe can be modified slightly for other less dry climates, but for areas like Colorado it works wonders. And it's a heck of a lot cheaper and more effective than the store-bought mixes.
You will need:
One full can of regular pop (any kind-no diet soda)
• One full can of beer (no light beer) 12oz
• 1/2 Cup of Liquid dishwashing soap (do NOT use anti-bacterial dishwashing liquid)
• 1/2 Cup of household ammonia
• 1/2 Cup of mouthwash (any brand)
Directions:
• Pour into 10-gallon hose-end sprayer (other sizes will work too)
• In high heat, apply every three weeks

The liquid soap is a wetting agent, helping the formula penetrate the roots.
The ammonia promotes growth and turns your lawn green.
The mouthwash does something you would never suspect mouthwash would do. It kills the bugs and grubs.
NOTE: Do NOT use anti-bacterial dishwashing liquid in the mixture as it will kill off important microbes in the lawn and soil that help "digest" thatch.
