Flailing off the first of the asparagus fern

Last spray before picking next week.

I think they are closer to 1000acres, maybe not all in Worcestershire

Less hard work than by hand, but a bit slow. Can only manage about 2 acres a day.

Planting asparagus on some light land

Time for a change

Sun setting over London

I have a four speed 135. This one is a narrow (French ? built one ) I doubt it would have the power to get up to 50K

But I’d have to wait another 11months!

11 month wait

£40/hr, call it £50 + VAT

I have a Plantman 2 264 1989. Truckmasters at Skegness told me to fill up the spout on the side with ATF until its full, there is no sight glass or dipstick. I only knew it was low because it was sluggish pulling away.

Can anyone tell me what the going rate is for hiring potato bins? Approx 60 for 6 weeks for pumpkins.

Still available, half an hour South of the Dartford crossing. Happy to split, just think its too useful too scrap.

Quick walk over to take the first ones off

Re-ridging asparagus beds

Asparagus is very deep rooted. Yes, in fact is a job for this week to get a RoundUp on. Fern has been already removed. Hand weeding isn't really practical on a large acreage

All the cultivations and bed making/ridging are mechanised, the harvesting is done by hand. Hand weeding in the first year or two if they've got out of hand, ground preparation pre-planting is key!
