Kev's Grass renovation thread

[neilo]

@neilo I thought you had some kind of drill your self, aitchinson?
Would that not have done the job or is this a more suitable machine?

I do have a Simtech Aitchison, which is a very similar drill (but better, obviously). Our new local Hurrells salesman was looking for a field by the road, where he could play and show people what the seed mix and his shiny new drill could do. I'm only providing the field, I'm not paying the bugger.

Good job you've got some moisture there

Desperate for a bit of rain here.

We had a drop of rain on Monday which was most needed

It's a micro-climate in the bottom of the slot. Still needed a bit more, and we had a small amount overnight too.
