We've just finished planting ours, we're organic so we like to plant later, (not that it was our choice this year), so it 'gets up and goes', beating the weeds. Have planted bin May before with a good crop.

As said if you can take them throughout the night they are cheaper. Roll them in a hot summer, (some hopes!), and they go down like tarmac.

We have one, good machine. They are tied up with JD, I think they own 5%? Our local JD dealer is putting out plenty around here.

This chap used to harp on about air fryers cooking all sorts of crap, but he got ill last year and now has embraced the carnivore diet. He does go on a bit, but it's a really good message for the livestock industry.

You will need a solar panel and a wind turbine, which they will steal!

I heard an interview with the actor who plays Hitler. He was really angry about all the spoofs that have been made from that clip.
