I would avoid anything complex, or with silly small difficult to see readout if you are getting on a bit like me. The best spreader i ever had was a Bredal B2, simple,accurate,reliable = Bliss. Second best was an Amazone ZAM.

He is breaking the normal BG establishment cycle by planting a late spring sown crop, with a vigorous smothering habit and is able to use different chemistry and mechanical weeding as well if required.

Fram cost me alot of money this year by messing up my fertiliser order , not happy!

Used logic or Enduramaxx would be my choice. Have a used Northstar here but not sure about pump condition so would let it go for £75 plus VAT etc.

Courtyard partnership used to do that IIRC?

Hello Joel,HC Its an Enduramaxx fert spec vertical 30000 litre version with 2" outlet. Similar to the one in picture below. Sorry, but just sold this morning to an Essex farmer, Can do new as an alternative for anyone looking for more storage.

Anyone looking for a liquid fert tank,We have an unused 30000 litre for sale. ?

Would have thought cultivation system used would impact N release from soil. Need to stop weeds hogging up N too. i think Clover co cropping might work? One for Andy Howard maybe?

Failed rape problem?

UK is not a big customer of Russian gas at under 5% of our useage, but as we know price has a knock on effect on oil, cost of ferts and other Commodities, Why arent we fracking more is my question, cant be solely down to the protesters.?

Ok if leaf dry and not using UAN . N20 probably safest liquid option.

Its the long term effects you want to worry about. Most Neurological health experts believe there is a link between spraying pesticides and Parkinsons... Maybe that is the real reason why Organophosate products got banned?

Depends on the timing and amount really. I have memories of being half through a field with the combine when hail struck but only lost around 20% approx at the top of the swath, A standing crop would have been worse IMO.

I have found oil contents are normally better when crops ripen naturally.Worth something! It suits early, "low shatter" varieties and less exposed sites really, plus balls of steel!

Was quoted £220 for shearings etc yesterday into a free skip from Dunmow Skips. Can weigh here on our own W/B.
