I bloody hope the joints end up vertical!

I follow but ironing is impractical. The cable run would be 125m and I'm not dragging it back here.

Plastic out of my hands. That's what's coming. That's what we're using. I've used that tape before and been impressed. 4" stuff wide enough along a butt/lap joint?

Looks like full plastic then. Not least because I won't have to replace all the rotten waist rails etc that will no doubt fall apart when I take the old skin off. Way less work. Next thing to work out is how to overlap/join the plastic somewhere. It's coming in smaller sections.

Why does Charles Dowding (slightly annoying but seemingly competent internet gardener) roof his compost? What are the pros and cons?

For the moment.

Now that sounds like a good idea. Worth trying anyway.

Some canoeing acquaintances go on trips in Scotland with kids. Mal draws a map for each one. Similar vibe to yours. I’ll find one in the fullness of time.

She did. She asked on an arb forum and heeded the response.

It’s the same stuff.

24' long I think.

Reskinning the poly tunnel next week. Full plastic or netting to waist height? Probably potting bench with seeds starting in trays along one side and tomatoes growing the other.

Making a rather late start on compost. Two bays because that’s how much convenient material and space I had. Hay, some kitchen scraps and sawdust from the bin at the house and woodchip so far. It’s miles from the chickens unfortunately. Not the best planning but there you go.

Yes but no. Freedom, yes. Harmful communism (as if there’s another kind), no.

He’s not your mate. Anyone who when confronted with such aggressive idiocy doesn’t say, “I’m not playing your stupid game.” is an enemy of freedom and an enemy of you.

IMG_5181.MOV Dog thread overspill with a morning theme. Same thing as every recent morning here. Coffee and hot cross buns, occasionally telling the geese to quiet down or piss off.

Eggs is the unifying thing between the three dishes in your last post. Ten points please.

Have you got chickens? I don't think of them as a very Scandinavian thing.

Just a daily observation of Sailor acting like a crackhead for a bit of vibe context. IMG_5208.MOV He was on superb form this afternoon. He gets in the way like a ****************ing pain in the arse. Lethal anywhere near steps, stiles etc. You go to put your foot down and he's bloody there. I'd tread on him to make a point but I'm still going to fall over when he does a backflip with me affixed. I make do with dodging him by being a ninja basically. Anyway, we were mending a fence around a paddock. I was mainly clearing trees off the wire and throwing them back over. He was in his element. Sticks for days. Did a fair bit of getting under my mate's feet while he was tacking up wire etc. The pièce de résistance came when he (six foot, fourteen stone farmer) went to the trailer to get a fencepost, turned round and Sailor, the massive toothy imp nicked it out of his hand like toppling a toddler's Mr Whippy and trotted off with it. Big stick energy. Warms the heart and aches the sides.

Traffic management would be the cherry on top.

Basically no.

The capstan is lovely but too much violence otherwise. I’d tolerate said violence if it was productive but it isn’t.

The bark made me think of American cherry at first but plum is a much better guess.
