Any guesses as to the identity of the fourth commissioner? Someone recently out of work maybe?

How many beans per m2 do you think you have established?

There’ll be a new version of the handbook out soon with a section ‘What constitutes taking the Mickey’.

It seems IPM4 boosts revenue from AHL2 but is not an option with NUM3. Anyone got a clue why this might be?

I think it’s all down to the wishy-washy term ‘meeting the aim’ which is wide open to the interpretation of the ‘visitor’ on the day. Until we get things underway and start getting feedback from people that have had ‘visits’ we have very little to go on as the helpline staff do little more than...

14 months out. Should have done it sooner.

I too have thought about vetch but my only concern is whether they will survive an autumn herbicide. Seems to be a bit of an unknown but we know beans normally will survive.

Done, tho it’s challenging to pick the right words at the end when you are bristling with anger about the whole thing.

At 92 litres/min the sump pump is about as small as you can get. I guess for a washout the quantity would be 300 to 400 litres if I haven’t done any washout in the field.

Wynnstay were ‘very pleased’ to offer me Ladum at £620/tonne

Just installed a biobox type system using 4 recycled black plastic pallet boxes under the Severn Trent scheme. The bio mix is 50%straw 25%compost and 25%soil as recommended. My sump pump is rated at 92 litres/min. When the pump kicks in it pumps the liquid up to the top box faster than it soaks...
