    It seems to be the same on the phone as well as laptop so here's a quick 5 min tuition. Ignore my tabs, couldn't be bothered cropping. :o

    I assume you'll be given an option here for your phone gallery and you can select photos that way. This is how I would use it on the laptop.

    Does postimage.org automatically reduce the size of the photo to a respectable size or have you to do that in advance?

    Mowed on may 20th and baled on 23rd. It got rain the first day and a heavy sea mist the second day. The type you're familiar with and no sign of it on any of the forecasts. I hope the same isn't in store for this cut.

    Something similar to what I've up on the start of the reseeding thread. A search through my posts from back then would get the exact mix for you ;)

    There are different sizes you can choose, but that image was small enough to start with.

    moved away from wagon. the contractor has bought a sp claas. just seems neater and easier to handle in the pit. maybe I'm dreaming. able to fit. silage into a smaller space.
    do most lads throw cuts on top of each other? rolling back the plastic is some pain on your own.

    Putting 2nd cut on top of first here whenever the rain decides to stop. Have done for a number of years now. Yeah plastic and tyres is a balls. Try to rope in the brothers if they are around, need to fold it up right to put it back on more easily. Will be doing another pit soon so hopefully will have less of that carry on in future

    Yeah might have to do that. We are on a hill so might not be too bad as it won't soak in the rain
