We had 10 minutes of heavy rain here yesterday evening and about an hour before and after of heavy mist. Ground rock solid atm, even the heavy fields could do with a sup.

Yet 10 miles north and south of me, friends were saying it was lashing and they had brought cattle in.

I put off spreading last week seeing the forecast but going all out this week and blanket spread half the place this week and the rest next week.

I was thinking of it but cash flow is a bit strangled with being locked up and i might run out of things to do next week!:pac:

I used blanket spread but feel i got a poor response due to older grasses. Definately better response on younger swards but my youngest sward is 5 years old now:o

Always blanket till this yr. went weekly for early part. Back to blanket grows more grass I think. Some don't agree

Reg have you a pic of the 135 and hay bob in action for us wet Clare people with no hope of making hay! Though it looks like we might get a second dry day in a row here.

frogloch · 24-07-2015 09:58AM

Raining here all morning just beginning to ease off now. Wouldn't have minded much only rang contractor Wednesday evening to cut 5 acres of grass that got ahead of cows Thursday morning. There was no sign of this rain on the forecast then, first I heard of it was last night. God I must sound like a miserable git always giving out.:o

WheatenBriar · 24-07-2015 10:59AM

Still lashing in East wicklow, radar loop suggest all day
3rd wet day since the end of may which is fair going
