    I suppose in 50 yrs time someone will look at a photo of land cruisers and ifor williams trailers outside a mart and think ffs they all look the same;)

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    Would you believe it but that bit was never reseeded... Just graze it tight enough, run chain harrow over it to spread dung pats (no sheep yet) and fert/ lime ..mcpa killed off all the rubbish and keeping it short has encouraged a better sward.. That field got seaweed too though .. I rate it highly

    At different tides .. Good clean drift weed comes into beach/shore .. You have to get it quick before bottle tops, sanitary towels fishing line etc start landing on it .. I load her onto flat 6ft x 4ft trailer on quad and straight out on land = handled once .. It's hard work but it definitely makes grass more palatable as cows can pick out the areas that have had weed on it
