Hi We've just had a second hand patchwork system to go with our first 24m spreader and I think I'm confusing myself! Spreading to 24m, we need to travel at 12m widths. So, is your working width in patchwork 12 or 24? I think I've managed to work everything out - measuring, AB etc from online...

I didn’t have room in the shed to stack our fert as wagon turned up early, so just unloaded it into the yard, didn’t realise I’d stacked one of the bags on a sharp rock (no our yard isn’t concrete🤦🏻‍♂️) so when I lifted it up to move it into the shed it started leaking out the bottom…brother got...

Have a small crop of potatoes which were a new variety released in Australia. Grown in spring they grew misshapen and had second growth. Appears the variety isn't suited to the warm climate, and its a European variety. Lost a few following 8 inches of rain a few weeks ago so not going to...

Didn't help not having the space...
