I caused a bit of a disturbance over in the hunting forum about shooting dogs earlier today.

I'd say you'll be very polite with them!

Polite as always ðŸ˜‰

Two words. Bang bang.

Maybe I'm weird but I would always try and find the owner before a bang bang solution.
We had an issue with previous neighbours about their dog, we shot it.
Same house but different neighbours, had a beaut of a black alsation running in the fields but not after the cattle. Spooked them a lot though. So we spoke to the owner and he kept him in, we still find some cattle bones in the field from time to time to dunno if he or foxes drag them in. But I did meet him one day there (the dog) wandering free while I was on the horse, only for I gathered him up the horse would have shot off with me on him as the dog did that disconcerting thing of following behind us.
So spoke to the owner again and no sign of dog since but can hear him barking

Ask the owner to out dog a dog fence and put a shock collar on the dog. Have it on our Alsatian and it's a wonderful job.

you're too kind
The blow ins are told if they get a dog they better keep it contained...none of them have gotten a dog

we try our best to go the official route with the ones we catch.

The official route is the only way to go. The law is behind the farmer who comes across a dog worrying his stock.

In theory...

Would it be ok to spread gran line and CAN together? (Well, the same day anyways)

There wouldn't be any reaction or loss of nitrogen?

I had it in my head that gran lime can be spread with anything, but maybe that's wrong?

kollegeknight · 16-09-2016 06:24AM

Has anyone used the Gallagher M1000 fencer? Brother sent me a photo of a trade in offer in his local coop store. Bring in an old fencer and get the M1000 for €399.

I can't seem to see it online with an Irish price.

Spec says up to 200 acres but how true is that I wonder.

Thanks in advance

I have been to loads of Dublin matches in Croker but this is my first time at a All Ireland final.
Last time I saw Dublin and Mayo in Croker was the Mill at the Hill when they beat us by a point. Can't believe it was 10 years ago. Hope it's not a repeat of the same result on Sunday.

Still good for granlime no?

And is it P or K can be spread outside the dates as well? (I have a feeling its K, but not sure?)

Gran lime goes to work straight away. Do it here when setting grass seed as it can be harrowed in. If it's being spread on top of the ground I'm not sure would it work

No spreading of N or P until January but you can work away with lime and K all year round.

One fence down.
They came in 8th place yesterday.

Just have to wait till today's competition is over to see what happens.

Nerve wracking sport.

Ah David, don't say that to me... I have a lot of it spread on grass this year

No option here but to use the granulated stuff, as cant get in with a lime spreader to a lot of the fields...

But - I can am slightly beginning to lose faith in the granulated lime... I don't think its half as good as ordinary lime...
(nothing to back that statement up, other than opinion)

It's fast acting but short lived. It's small granule size will act quickly in bringing the pH up but once it's gone, it's gone. Normal lime has a more varied granule size so it acts reasonably quickly and there are still some larger granules available to help neutralise the pH for a few years after applying. With the gran-lime, you will be going back in again every year or two years to apply it just to keep the pH at the same level.

Yeah - I know the theory...

I just think it doesn't do as good a job... Even in the short term...

But again - just an opinion, it could well be something else... I got a soil test done on a field that only got gran lime this year, so I might get another soil test done at Christmas, to see what the difference is (if any)

Didn't get through to the final.
3 irish horses have got through though. So fingers crossed.
She's in the consolation final tomorrow.
She must have very nearly qualified when being 8th yesterday and just that one fence down today knocked her out.
Michael pender has a really good partnership with her and the Walsh family must be proud of her.

Still not a bad year.
Won the millstreet boomerang grand prix final.
Won the pettitts 5&6 yr olds at bannow rathangon.

Used to sell the Gallagher stuff in a past life it's top notch stuff. That unit is rated for 10 joules which is not allowed in the EU anymore. It should easily do 200 acres the 1200 said it could do 600 acres on the box.

Great, thanks for that information. Is 10 joules counted as too high?

Water John · 16-09-2016 09:39PM

Get a full whack of 10 joules and you'll levitate.

Yeah the powers that be decided that 10 joules and over was too powerful. We sold a good few 12 joule units around the time they went off the market. Some whack off them.
