    Frankly, I don't think Dale Farm had to do any sweetening for the AGM. They already had the wind at their back. Now it's a gale.

    You don't get BB stock bulls. They don't work well.

    According to country file, we've had nearly 200% of August rain I'd say including today. And there's another wet band coming Monday night to Tuesday.

    25-30 per hen per year or per flock? What does profit mean exactly? Is it after capital repayments, interest, labour, power etc?

    Hitting the grass 23

    Cover off and at second. Bulk is light and maturity backwards for a six week interval. But it's really good stuff unlike first cut.

    I think you are being a bit hyperbolic there! I put a binful on after first cut when the weather was on the up and cut ground was drying quickly. I knew at the the time it didn't feel right to me, and I stopped with that and waited until rain was coming the following week before spreading...

    Descaling a boiler

    Is it too costly/inefficient to fit one to the borehole source? Do you have to fit one to every heating device? Two dwelling houses on it here too that could do with it.

    Descaling a boiler

    Hard borehole water here. Every couple of years it goes for the heater element, and we dig out half a barrow of limescale out of the bottom. Does anyone pour in milkstone remover/descaler to the boiler?

    Good summer work boots

    Having got a good turn out of a pair of old ex-hiking boots that had been relegated to yard work, I became convinced that a pair of good waterproof breathable hiking boots was actually what I needed. These were expensive, but I've spent 25 years in poor fitting, uncomfortable boots of varying...
