On the original topic, cheap screwdrivers are a total waste of time. Other cheap tools - spanners , sockets, hammers - can be ok, particularly for occasional use, but never screwdrivers.

I have seen it referred to as a capsule

I need a new nozzle for my sprayer induction hopper - any comments on the best type? There seem to be several different designs.

Drilling done….we could just do with a bit of rain now…

And isn't that the story of the year - all we can do is look out of the window in the morning and decide to risk going for it or not. (Father was keen on the saying 'Assume you are going to be lucky' - if you don't go for it, the job definitely won't get done)

Great drying day - might pull some beet land over tomorrow....

Good word! - had to Google it, worryingly accurate at the moment...

We will all be drilling madly over Easter weekend. Tuesday it will rain again. My weather prediction.

10mm here - came very close to pulling some headlands over yesterday afternoon, seems like a bad joke now. Someone up there really doesn’t like arable farmers….

Never allow it to come in contact with fertiliser - anything else is just delaying the inevitable.... Seriously though, it may be a bit environmentally suspect, but just spray with waste oil. Has worked well for years here.

We would water ewes in a lamb adopter twice a day - if you leave a bucket, they tend to tip it over

Congratulations on finding a smutty aspect to lifting chains!

The angle between the legs makes a lot of difference - Google will guide you

I have some from Machine Mart - seem ok, sensible price. There are loads of others on ebay

If there is no opportunity to drill in March, there will be a lot of seriously worried farmers in the county - we just have to hope and be ready. There is a lot of undrilled land out there….
