    Fencing a square post.

    I've about 8 metres of wire netting and top wire to be strung. There's a square post in the middle, (concreted in). As it's such a short length there won't be much strain on it. If I do it in 1 length of fencing it means a 90 degree turn for the wires around the post. Can I do it with 1...

    1st Experience with Electric Car

    True. It charges at about 8 miles per hour. (Kia) However buried in the depths of the manual it says not to charge from an ordinary socket when the battery is nearly full as it can overcharge

    Fraud?

    I've had one or two deliveries/pick-ups per week to my farm address for the last 3 weeks. The problem is it's nothing to do with me. The goods appear to be car parts. Today I had another van arrive to pick up a package. The driver gave me the contact phone number, so I rang it. The chap didn't...

    Is it possible to buy a wifi camera that can be temporarily put on the back of a trailer to aid reversing? I find trying to see where the livestock trailer is going when it is turning away from the driver's side, pretty impossible Thanks

    Domestic Battery Storage

    We have a biomass boiler for heating and hot water which has a 2,500 litre buffer tank - a sort of thermal store. The panels cannot heat this tank. I realise a battery system will be ineffective in the winter, but in the summer the solar panels produce plenty of hot water and most of the power...

    Domestic Battery Storage

    "Improving Our Lot" - Planned Holistic Grazing, for starters..

    Yeah, I'm coming to that conclusion too. If the grass is getting too long, shut it up for hay, or pre-empt that by rotating the sheep faster. I like the idea of 'som farmer' using an aerator to push stems into the ground after grazing, though I would prefer to leave the tractor parked in the...

    "Improving Our Lot" - Planned Holistic Grazing, for starters..

    I had plenty of grass this year, (Hay height) and I set up tight electric fences for my ewes and lambs so that they ate a third, trampled a third and left a third. I moved them once a day. It worked really well for the grass - the regrowth of the herbal leys was fantastic. Unfortunately it...

    what grinds your gears

    I needed a smart battery charger so went on Ebay where there are many to choose from. I want to support British or European engineering, not Chinese, so I spend some time searching for a British one. Some Chinese ads. are easy to spot as they have a Chinese address, others are more subtle, as...

    Trailer Insurance

    The problem is that my insurer, LV, won't insure trailers for business use. Business use for the pick-up is no problem, but it is for the trailer. Thanks for all the replies, you've given me a few options.
