Hi all Thinking about installing a borehole, keeping our mains as backup. Was just wondering what annual running costs are likely to be.

We planted some herbal leys 2 years ago....like a lot 👍 I was keener on plantain than chicory as I think it will survive shorter rotations with sheep better....plantain had been looking very healthy this March...then spotted a lot of holes appearing across the plantain leaves, looking similar...

With the last few months my water pressure has been decreasing. I have my own well by the house which also does the yard. The yard is about 300 yards from the house and is uphill. So basically the pump has to pump the water uphill. I have super pressure at the house. Then the further up the...

After a few years the water pipes have started to furr up with deposits. We have filtration but it doesn't seem to be removing 100% does anyone have any solution for reduced flow to flush through and clear the pipes? TIA

Anyone use this? Does it work out cheaper? What brand? Have you ordered recently what price? Do you use a wisdom pump? Thanks

Our winter beans look really good at a distance but when you look closely there’s loads of flowers just finishing but very few pods in fact I’ve never seen so few pods! Could it be the cold or lack of sun and bees or a bit of everything?

Hi, Picture from my spring wheat field drilled 10th of May. Had 2-3 mm of rain since then, so its very dry. I adjusted the depth of fert this year, and suspect it might have been a little bit too shallow, and as the ground is drying out and the roots seeking down they cant really get much...

Hi all the tips of my spring barley are turning yellow any ideas and how can I fix it

I usually top up my wheat crops with their last bit of N around flag leaf timing, but looking at the forecast, there's no rain due for over a week. Looks like the season has turned from soaking wet and muddy to bone dry and cracks everywhere. It's got me thinking if I'd be better to mix the...

I'm reluctantly growing second wheats again this autumn. I test seed and try to avoid fungicidal seed dressings where possible. I was horrified to see the price of latitude but I'm not sure if I should really be using it? It would seem in a no-till situation and very early October drilling its...
