It worked ok, but just took a hell of a lot of strength to do the job properly... Not quite the easy option I was expecting... ;)Paul and Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07700796090016266104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074208485086382221.post-6657843078665736812009-03-15T02:45:00.000+01:002009-03-15T02:45:00.000+01:00Farming in the spring, oh joy, and you've managed ...Farming in the spring, oh joy, and you've managed to get it done.

Re the birds: we saw a programme on UK TV the other day called "A Farm for the Future" which showed two different bits of film of a farmer ploughing a field, one with and one without seagulls. The inference was the the soil was devoid of any wriggly life worth eating, a result of too much ploughing and too many chemicals. It would be interesting for you to do a soil test and see how much organic matter there is in it and how many worms and other critters. Please tell us if you do as we'd be interested to know.<BR/>Best of luck with the sunflowers. What will you do with the crop?Stuart and Gabriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07886622731103783384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074208485086382221.post-52844179504378547562009-03-05T19:44:00.000+01:002009-03-05T19:44:00.000+01:00Hi there Y, and thank you for you kind words.

I too know very little about farming, I'm sort of making it up as I go along - thankfully there is lots on the Internet and other blogs to guide me in the right direction :-)dNDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00531819276422542672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074208485086382221.post-23037275100386773322009-03-05T16:57:00.000+01:002009-03-05T16:57:00.000+01:00Now I've got the feeling of how vast your land is!...Now I've got the feeling of how vast your land is!

Woz on a coach tour around Europe that went right across Spain (San Sebastian, Madrid, Bacelona). I saw them at early floweirn, full flowering and then ripe for harvest. okay, by then was sick of the sight of them, but was a huge eye-opener. Along with the rows and rows and rows of oranges in seemingly arid land as we travelled from Madrid to Barcelona.<BR/><BR/>Oh Deborah - word veri is "dispeout"<BR/><BR/>care and huggles, Michelle xxxMickle in NZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10432796020646607634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074208485086382221.post-63929904090746944672009-03-04T20:10:00.000+01:002009-03-04T20:10:00.000+01:00Oh!
