    Chopped the base of all the ivy here in feb and the damn stuff is still alive

    Apparently if you drive copper nails into the ivy after you cut it it kills it. Only heard about it a month ago, neighbour was going to do it, bit early to tell if it worked yet tho....

    also heard if you pour milk into the branches/roots it will kill it. Problem is if you pull it off walls its very hard to get it all:mad:

    Big square baler coming in the morning for the straw!
    I think wrapper coming tomorrow evening.
    Will that be enough time for the silage I wonder? I think it will be rowed into bigger rows in the morning !

    Nice to see ye went to the effort to line them straight, nothing used to drive me as cracked as when lads would line bales up on top of each other and crooked when I was wrapping. I'd have them wrapped in half the time if they were scattered!

    Haha ya want to try wrapping in a spot where you've a bunch of lads drawing to you with single handlers and you catch up on them quick, on a bank so you have the wrapper backed around and they decide to be helpful and put it as close to the arm as possible.... Ie sitting at 45degrees to the arm stuck again the back wheel :(:(

    you learn quick enough to jack knife the tractor completely so they cant get near it....
