We got a new gismo lately for tighten wire (not sure of the name). It looks like a clippers, you use the snapper wire joiners and you can tighten it later on by just putting it in and giving it an extra little pull. Have the hayes wire strainers as well and it will probably be retired! :-)

I left Longford and drizzle before 7 this morning to head back home. It was dry, warm and sunny (overcast at times) in NCD until I left at about 6pm. By the time I got to the motorway it had become dull and as got closer to Longford overcast with a treat of rain. Still dry so far.

I just tie a Tex Brown Knot to join wire and use an insulated ratchet strainer at the end post.
if you want to do any work on the fence after, you just loosen the ratchet and work away.

What rain we got there near greenfields was sweet f of a lad

Buford T. Justice XIX · 19-08-2016 10:13AM

I was just talking to a rep from the company that sells Grazon 90 about the restrictions on spraying near ditches.

He assured me that you can spray under wires along ditches and not fall foul of cross compliance rules.

The only restriction he talked about was not spraying within 1m of the top of a riverbank.

I wouldn't be taking a reps advice. Their job is to sell.

5m buffer zone from a waterbody for any spraying as far as l remember when doing sprayer course.

But don't take my word for it. Should be full details on the DAFM website.

I was curious after you mentioned this Buford and so l had a google. I did find it stated on dowagro website that grazon pro is 'LERAP category B' (whatever that means) and it did mention 1m buffer zone from top of river bank, so it's not just rep talk but recommended by the manufacturer. Yet it has the same active ingredients as many other weedkillers....

I don't know after that. How would a lad be fixed if he did have an inspection?

Lerap B product so 5m buffer zone when using a boom sprayer unless you are using low drift nozzles then spary up to 1m out from the top of the bank of the stream/river. Only 1m buffer zone when using a knapsack.

Yea that'd work if it's a small hole.
This stuff is great- w w w .amazon.com/Gear-Aid-Tenacious-Fabric-Repair/dp/B005BLQTEE but for a cheapo version I use duct tape or the stronger gaffer tape.

Fook saaake, I can't post links yet!

The products must be tested by each company if the concentration or anything in the packet differs from the original approved spec. So Grazon pro can be used but a similar product with the same active ingredient might only have a 5m spray distance.

I'm having awful trouble with the main fence line going along a ditch shorting current so I aim to cut on 1st Sept and spray next April.

If they have any trouble with that, they can personally indemnify me for cattle breaking out on the road.
