How long does your grass keep before getting hot @pappuller ?. I find after being knocked about by chopper 24 hours is the max.

Yes I can just about see your relations from my top ground. My ‘setup’ is at the forefront of technological design, it’s a late 1970’s taarup single chop and an even more modern case ih 844 turbo.

Been doing this for about a week now but wondering if it ought to be going in the clamp if the weathers going to turn?

Tesco tsdg increase by just over 1p for November I believe.

Wouldn’t be surprised if they somehow try to blame the supplying farms. An antibiotic or added water fail to cover the cost.
