That’s a great idea!!

Now, where is the nearest beach? Up the road, turn right at the island, to the end and left at the next island……you know…… the one with the monument………that marks The Centre of England.

Just put one of your deep holes in, you're bound to find water.

What, every job!?

We spread 1200t last week on 14 farms . That would take some doing.

What I have done is delivered half premium quality and half screened lime which is kept outside (so is moist) to some jobs. We then mix on site which is working well. Customers are happy with it.

The quarry that produces the premium ground lime have no water whatsoever in their lagoons, so have me way of damping it down a bit. It’s either produce dry lime or none at all.

Just like farming, they need rain.

Cider's your answer. Plenty of cider will keep you refreshed, with the added advantage of a ready supply of lime wetting fluid after you've used it.

I could take on the job too. Now I’m well through my fifties, if I drink a pint I regularly pee out 2. Very economical

Thanks for dropping by on your bicycle earlier @Kevtherev

Nice clean sample.

 

[Kevtherev]

Very useful Turnips the leafy type both those Jupiter from DLF and Appin from germinal.
Good fast growing catch crop ideal for sheep and cattle.
(Next year they be the new in crop) but as ever myself and @neilo lead from the front the very pinnacle of what’s new in farming..

 

[Kevtherev]

Unfortunately the delivery bicycle is now in need of slight repair I hit a hedgehog right outside the Nags head inn and have been stranded here all afternoon….

Jupiter is also winter hardy @neilo

may i ask if you have a seed merchants license ?

 

[Kevtherev]

Where I often think these leafy hybrid turnips fit in is as a catch crop take a cut of silage off late may June time spray off and direct drill in graze off before September as a summer graze crop before reseeding in September.
(Not always possible though with the current weather we have experienced)
