  1. i would love it but a bit far. I will ask what my mate would charge to fetch it with his wagon
  2. How big are the trees? What is the soil type? How important is that that none die or will it simply mean replacing those that do? Often this is the cost effective solution
  3. Why is the tractor parked in the middle of the shed? Could it not be parked in the doorway with the exhaust outside?
  4. Don't fall into the trap of thinking a stronger dose of glyphosate will do a better job. It could kill top growth so fast that it cannot be translocated all the way to the roots. Use the recommended dose and as others have said it is late in the season to be very effective. I would contact an agronomist for advice first.
  5. The future is sitting in a deck chair whilst the drone takes the saw.
  6. carrying kindling up and down loft steps sounds like a lot of wasted effort to me
  7. Shame it was not nearer to Burton on Trent I might have been able to help out
  8. If you can do it at 60 degrees it will take out any uneven front furrows. Set the back roller of the power harrow so the arms are taking no weight and it is all on the back roller. (If it has one)
  9. get someone to shoot the crows first.
  10. if a battery is very deeply discharged you can sometimes bring it back to life by connecting a good battery in parallel before charging
  11. Successful day. 2 Red deer culled. Many thanks to the guy that helped me get them off the field!
  12. I have managed to get just under 80kg. It has been really hard work as I cannot work it off like you guys. I have had to be very strict with my portion size.
  13. Simple formula. If it is long enough and dry enough then cut. Just keep the height of cut up and all will be fine.
  14. Legally farms can only burn what has grown there I believe and then they should apply for a licence to do that.
  15. If the soil is sandy or light then rolling after the plough can be very helpful. If heavy then a power harrow set shallow is the way I would go
  16. I used to work with cattle and they need to be trained to an electric fence or the can just run through it. I also worked with deer but never used electric fence for them. I can understand how they would jump through a fence. You are probably right but I know a few that offer electric fences for deer and we did consider it at the place I was looking after deer before
  17. Interesting reaction on the video from this link
  18. Just get your kids a quad bike and tell them to mind the trees!
  19. Does anyone know any farmers with some field beans I could buy in the Staffordshire/Shropshire area?
  20. Where are you Apph? I used to provide a lawn maintenance service that included regular cutting and all treatments needed. It did quite well. I have learned greenkeeping so had some skills
