Change of office for today
I've not had the invoice as yet but I'd say circa £0.50p/ Kg ish for them. It depends which galvanisers you use and if you can tag it on with a load of other work to spread the transport cost.Sorry wasn't very clear, cost to galv
That’s a great hit of clover. Did you steer clear of sprays altogether when planting or did you try a clover safe one post emergence?The tegs I moved yesterday seemed happy enough, then I hooked the mower on and knocked down 8 acres of a red clover and ryegrass mix I put in last year, then tedded it.View attachment 1038887View attachment 1038891View attachment 1038892View attachment 1038893View attachment 1038894View attachment 1038895
We already had pre ordered bacon and egg baps waiting for us at a burger van up the road, right next to where we were leaving the harvester.A handy place to pick up luncheon route?
These were planted as plugs a week ago as deep as we could get them. Various hoeings through the season will gradually bank them up.Brilliant machines, at the end of my sandwich period I was allowed a week on one of these hoeing spring onions, very satisfying work.
Interesting to see your leeks, we dibbed then watered in early leeks, and banked later to get more white.
Haven’t used any chemicals, this is my heaviest, dirtiest field and the clover struggled to complete with the weeds last year. I took two v light cuts last year to top the weeds (charlock, scarlet pimpernel & scotch thistles) I still have a couple of large areas of thistles which I will try and deal with before the next cut.That’s a great hit of clover. Did you steer clear of sprays altogether when planting or did you try a clover safe one post emergence?

Apparently my next job is helping to clear the pond and replace the liner. I'll give the better half ten minutes to catch the fish before I start

Thank you. Mostly the wife's department. I do lawns, hedges and winter pruning as well as the veg garden at the top behind the shrubbery..Lovely looking garden, your wife’s work?
what model is the 40 seriesThrowing money about. Look away now if you don’t like grubby machinery. View attachment 1038257View attachment 1038258
7740, SLE gearbox but a 30k box which I’m told is unusual? They’re a fantastic tractor, although this one I think is nearing the end of her full time working lifewhat model is the 40 series
