    Pond reinstatement

    The Somerset Rivers authority via FWAG are going to pay me to dig out a silted up and overgrown pond, and construct a leaky dam. They’ve suggested a way of making the outlet with twin wall and concrete, has anyone done anything similar?

    Back to 24m

    Thinking of going back to 24m from 36m. My boom height control system on my 36m is woeful and needs a big upgrade which is huge money so I’m thinking of going back to 24m which would also allow me to go back to granular fert instead of liquid (I’ve posted a thread on that in the cropping...

    Liquid back to granular fertiliser?

    I’m thinking of making the move back to spreading fertiliser instead of using liquid. Anybody done it and regretted it? We can’t put on liquid P & K so have to use a contractor and as we are 36m spread pattern is hit and miss. We’ve had scorch last year and this year with this year in...

    Sheep showing

    Hi I’m after some advice on the best way to pearl dip BFL sheep? People suggested using a knapsack sprayer but surely this does not penetrate the full fleece as an actual dipper would? Advice needed for a first time shower of the blue faced Leicester breed. Thank you in advance.

    Knight Sprayer - Pressure Issue

    We have a 24m 3000l Knight Trailed Sprayer. Was spraying today, did 50acres with no problems. I was mid way through a field, switched off at the end of a run, went to the next run, put to spray but there was no spray pressure. The ramsay pressure is where it always is (3 bar) and I can...

    What snap bag do you have? Currently use a DeWalt rucksack but thinking of something like the JCB cool bag with plenty of pockets. A rucksack is ok but I m sort of thinking a bag that has stiff sides so my flasks don't fall over possibly with internal pockets. Need to fit two flasks a pop bottle...

    T1 spray

    Just knocking a few ideas about. Before epoxy was banned we used adexar 62.5 g/litre (6% w/w) epoxiconazole and 62.5 g/litre (6% w/w) fluxapyroxad. Would buying straight fluxapyroxad and adding .5 of teb do the same thing. Would work out at £22/ha as apposed to revistar at £51 or vimog plus...
