Thought you were dead Andrew!

Welcome back & see you at Weeley hopefuly

[vhgmcbuddy]

John Cruise is your best bet!

Can take a couple of days as he can be very busy & its only him running the place

[vhgmcbuddy]

Excellent, thanks all
Chris, If I don’t have any luck sourcing the ends, I’ll send it to John, We’ll see how I get on.
Charlie, as for how long, I can measure it tomorrow/Saturday, but currently I’m 250 miles away… Its very taut at the moment, as when I got it, one end of the cable broke, so I had to cut it down slightly. I suspect its about the same length as as 56 cable.
I’ve still got to sort some seals for it, my DIY ones last year failed badly. It might not end up coming to Weeley, I might give one of Rickys machines an airing, I’ve got very little stuff thats in working condition.
Cheers
Andrew

Also, now found out where the funnel is stored. Made a couple of padded metal retaining brackets to hold it – it just drops into place and gravity does the rest.

The depth that I plant at can be seen on one of the other videos about 50mm and you will see that I use the same machine to earth them up when they start to show through the ground

Thanks Jack

The variety in the video is Charlotte and the ones with my mate looking on are Desiree both.
There are other Videos linked to the one I put the link up for, that shows Mustard being turned in, we always sowed mustard the Autumn before planting potatoes as we considered it helped to prevent wire worm and slugs. If you look at the video please let me know if it helped
Thanks Jack

Managed to make a couple of rope rings for handles recently. So have removed the modern metal handles and fitted the rope ones.

Quite pleased with the end result.

[I also ‘watched paint dry’ with a beer in hand when I finished!!]

I’ve got wonderful Devon clay, it’s been improved over the years using dung and compost. But deeper down I still have poor drainage, Although the winter was wet the spring and summer in my area has been a good growing season. I only plant a few rows of Rocket spuds, I got one part row to dig. The last two rows have some slug damage but I’ve had worst. Around here farmers first cut was 50% up on some years, also hedgerows full of fruit and nuts. So is this nature preparing for a harder winter, we shall now more about that next spring.
