Anyone know of the top of their head, the resin joint on the power to a deep well pump - how long to cure before it can be lowered into the well ??

We left it overnight. Probably about 15 hours

We had the mains on in the meantime. So no rush on getting supply back. Plumber just said he'd leave it overnight.

Ive done it here after about 2 hrs. Just make sure its well mixed beforehand and filled with no air pockets. Don't have any strain on the cables in the joint when tying up the cable to the pipe afterwards.
If you're doing it yourself use gloves the resin is a hoor to get off.

My dad got a phonecall to the landline this morning that his debit card had been used frauduently twice during the night. He played dumb, asked was that the card he uses for free bus travel, he kept asking the lad to repeat everything he was saying, pretending he was deaf. He said sure I never leave the house how could anyone have the card number. The lad got annoyed and hung up

I saw a few loads going out round here this morning, I wonder if they looked for the new permission to spread:rolleyes:

Saying that, I'm tempted myself but have enough storage till next week so might go with a few half loads on drier ground from Tuesday for a few days to get a bit of breathing room again.

Ya better get one in the other ear too.

I've seen a fertilizer spreader on the road.
Must be getting ready for tomorrow.

Spring is here.

It's barmy.. ground temperature in mid September to mid November allows for a moderate to good response to nitrogen here which would benefit my sheep no end.. (Heavy ground) but anything spread here before mid march is a complete waste most years.

I must get one myself but I bet you'd get some surprises from a field soil EC (electrical conductivity) reader.
The readings from it are dependent on nutrient level, soil temp, salinity level (can be linked to nutrient level as fert is salt based), organic matter and soil life, soil moisture and rainfall washing.

I spread my dolerite (stone dust) on all the land and some free organic microbe tea ( only known to me) on some of it. I'm going to spread urea as the first spread on all this and I'm hoping for/expecting a great response from the urea. As there should be a great range and big amount of bacteria in the soil to take it up.

Locally here you'd only get a reasonable/great response from urea if you spread dung or slurry beforehand. So I'm hoping/expecting my little theory to work.

Would you leave a stripe through the field for demonstration purposes?

I will not.
(I'm not wasting ground).

I spread dung on the 30th Oct and 2t/ac dolerite after on top on a ten acre field.
Finished grazing this around the 15th oct.
I'd estimate there's a 1700 ( I must measure and have been shown how) cover on this now. That's the best field/cover I have now.

My own thinking and by reading other reports is that the best quickest responses come from mixing dung and a stone dust together in a compost pile and they complement each other very well.

Ah we stuck it in the bull instead! I'd need more than a ring to be led about the place :P

Anyone ever have a bull destroy a ring on its nose? Young yearling bull here broke his in 2, with one half bent out of shape. His nose was perfect.

Mooooo

Picked our stock bulls ring out of the silage last week....... Going to be fun putting a new one in... Don't think his head/neck will fit in our crush gate.

Put him in crush between two big cattle/cows and trap his head up. Halter him to the top rail. No slack. Loop rope around his head/neck and the rail too. Do it soon while the hole is still fully open. Go easy with him, take your time and if he's any way normal you won't have a problem.
