    I’m just looking at buying a fairly low spec grain trailer to use as a reserve grain trailer and also for a bit of muck cart occasionally in the winter. Probably about 12-14t with floatations and hydraulic back door but is there much benefit in having a sprung drawbar these days? I know they...

    Rat bait

    What rat bait are people having success with? Currently feeding both of Mole Valley's own brand wheat based poisons to my rat population and they seem to still be very much alive! I'm worried about using bait blocks as we have two spaniels and the neighbours Jackrussell loose about the yard.
