As the small build BNG requirement kicks in from the beginning of this month no planning has yet been given with these rules in place. I rather suspect the planners do not fully understand the rules themselves and may wrongly refuse Class Q and self builds if a BNG has not been submitted. Time...

Thanks George, a great help. I will let you know how we get on.

Have done a bit of searching on here and elsewhere with no luck. Sorry if its been asked before but do we need a Biodiversity Net Gain requirement for a permitted barn conversion? Our best understanding so far is to have an assessment in place but probably not requireing actions upon it ...

Thinking of putting a 200L drum on the corn cart tractor's front linkage for fire fighting! Got a double hydraulic connector so use that as the pump drive. Half inch hose with a bit of pressure will do. Any ideas for the pump? Thanks

Ammonium Nitrate worries me with its oxidising properties but the spreading job gets done even if it takes 2 or 3 days before washing. Urea not fussed. Got 25+ years out of the Kuhn Aero

Had one 5 or 6 years now. Mainly used on ploughed or min tilled, both pressed, autumn seed beds. Occasionally used straight into wheat stubble which was fine. Two of those years we hardly used it because the rear tyre roller/press got too clagged . Tried both types of scraper but with a little...

Might interest a few. Can someone post it on here?

21mm. 45km/hr gusts in early hours

Clive, you may well be right in that the plough created the differences between your fields and the neighbours and you may know the inputs applied to both but there could be many reasons for the difference. Early variety, drought prone variety, lack of N, scorched with N etc

Not had any problems with slot closure but remember the Exact S harrow is followed by the tyre press with its ridges lined up with the coulters which consolidate. The front wavy discs cut a pathway for the coulter which appears to keep disturbance lower and helps with trash flow. Not blocked the...
