I saw them earlier, and they were pulling onto the grass verge to let cars pass, so they're not just waiting for lay-bys (y)

I used use a couple of these and some IBCs. The orange juice tanks had taps on them which I think a colleague fitted. All had camlock fittings attached so I could gravity feed or suck to fill the sprayer

With AXIAL or TOPIK (or equivalents), be careful of using them in close sequence with hormone herbicides for broad-leaved weed control. If your wild oat control is first, wait 7 days before applying hormone herbicide. If the hormone herbicides are applied first, wait 14-21 days, depending on...

I once made a mistake spraying Moddus and applied at 1 litre/ha instead of 0.1 l/ha on winter barley. The crop grew to about half the height as other barley, but still yielded well

I think Para 2.3 will perhaps be a positive. If decisions are made on a more devolved and regional basis, then potentially there may a 'better use' or quicker decision in some areas. There will not be any extension to 120 days (this is the legal limit), but maybe ground based application and/or...

use a signal booster. This plugs in between the aerial and the TV. It will require a power source, so you need an extra plug socket available (unless you can find one which uses USB power- this is what I have used in the past for a Firestick or NowTV stick)

Yes they work. The trick is to add a little and often. My dad would add some everyday into the reception pit, and pump into a slurry tower or lagoon. Minimal jetting or stirring was then required to break a thin crust before spreading

For several years I used to query water meter readings, as every time I got a bill the meter reading never matched the one I could see on the meter, so they would correct it to my reading. Eventually after several years I think they realised that something was wrong as I was always disputing the...

You need a decent pump to power 5 or 6 nozzles. In the past I have turned off the tank circulation to increase the pressure and get all nozzles working

From watching the vid, I guess tieing a loop in the cut end isn't a good idea 😅

maybe, maybe not. Even on tramlines the canopy can meet and become intertwined over the wheelings.

Absolute minimum is one side knife, and cut round and round with the knife on the uncut side. But ideally buy 2 and cut up and down

The new Prime Minister really is the dog's b0llocks

You probably wouldn't be too far out with wheat settings.

If the bracken is taking over the hedge, you may find that most of the spray hits the bracken anyway, and not much hits the hedge plants.
