    Picked up a 'sandpapery' disc for the grinder. Anyone used one before?
    Any use on rust?

    I want to spray roundup under an eletric fence. Would I get away with a week before grazing it again or would I have to wait for 2 weeks

    Yeah there good alright, they do wear down quick enough if you dog them fairly hard but they do leave it fairly nice, much smoother than a grinding disc does anyways

    Use grazon or something unless you really want to kill it! Other wise the weeds will grow back faster and be twice as bad next time...

    Always think that roundup sprayed under a fence looks terrible and nettles seem to thrive on it, as you say grazon will get everything except grass and if its a cattle fence the grass probably won't reach it

    Its the grass that's the issue. Cattle aren't eating anywhere near the fence

    Nettles will be the issue if you keep using roundup...anyway it's just a preference of mine. Had a neighbour that used to spray 50 - 60 mtrs of my roadside bank for visibility driving out. Within about three years, instead of a nice grassy bank with a few nettles, I had a crop of nettles with a few blades of grass...sorted now by having a chat with him and plenty of grazon on the bank over the last two years...

    Over after twenty mins. Poor showing by the Dubs. Peter Kelly on the edge of the square was badly missed.

    I wouldn't read too much into this match, Dublin were shocking, Galway were still very loose. Joe canning mentioned in interview after match that he hoped the band wagon supporters would start coming back. Bit cheeky if you ask me::D
