[QUOTE="Fergie Ploughman, post: 1788554, member: 8824"] I really don't know what to think when I read all this! We all know you should not manipulate furrows, full stop. We also all know you shouldn't be pulling straw/trash out from the ploughed ground. Where do you draw the line ? Am I allowed to pull some straw out if the furrow is still 'being turned' by my board ? [I]well I think I am...[/I] If I've hit a stone and had lift up or back up, am I allowed to kick the clod over and chuck the stone out the way ? [I]well I think I am...[/I] If I have to straighten up the 2 foot bent the clown next to me has done, and I have to plough over ploughed ground and I block up, can I move the trash ? [I]well I think I can... [/I]Its always going to be a little blurred, therefore there has to be give and take. There seems to be a lot of 'holier than thou' on here, who God forbid cannot touch the earth.... Serial gardening is wrong, tucking/pulling a piece of stubble on a real nice piece of work, is probably fine, so how do we get a bit of give or take. I see people walking/patting there cop's all the way down, it naffs me off! Surely there needs to be a bit of sense to this. If I'm at a match and gardening is in abundance, well I will join in - when in Rome, as they say.... If I was at a match where it is strictly not allowed, well guess what, I'll keep my hands clean! I'm buggered if I'm going to keep my hands out the soil if everyone else is doing it, that's plain stupid, as clearly the match has no issue with it. I would suggest this sits with the match organisers to enforce as they see fit. I would like to see all matches have a no gardening policy, but it must be fairly administered across all competitors. Just to have an SOP rule saying you can't is ridiculous, its needs the match organiser to have the rule and sufficient stewards to enforce; this is clearly a problem for the smaller matches. I really don't know how you move forward on this, but I would say it has to sit with the match organisers, which I for one would happily go along with. Out of Interest who are the serial offenders ? [I]certainly the people I plough with are not unknown to garden, but I would refer to them as serial offenders...[/I] [/QUOTE]
