    There's something in this clip of regenerative grazing for everyone.
    Even if you want to see a quad drive over a standing electric fence.

    Defo Frog - the only toads in this country are the very rare Natterjacks found in coastal West Kerry. One easy way of telling a Frog from a Toad is that the latter walks and never hops.

    I have noticed a good few frogs on the roads over the last few wet nights. They must be heading back to their wintering ponds.

    Yea, it’s a funny thing.

    All summer the thought of having stock shut in foddering is abhorrent, yet as of this week it seems a total luxury.

    Roll round March and we’re all looking at the door of tue pen mad to get them out to grass “where they belong”

    had to bite the bullet and go to the doctor today because ive a bad chest infection. i knew the problem already but still had to fork out €50 for a consultation to getthe prescription. Doctor told me only about 25% of the patients he is seeing on a daily basis dont have the medical card.

    Cleared a small area recently of very overgrown briars. Snipped all the briars at the butt. Would it be a waste spraying now with roundup, or should I wait till I see some growth in the spring?

    I sprayed round up 2 weeks ago. They are all dying. Not on briars. Also a nice trail where I walked across the lawn, not even in a straight line

    Waste of time if there is no leaf and they are not growing. Grazon 90 in the spring when they are growing.

    That's what I was thinking, as all that is left now are the roots.
