    Off the top of my head I think it's 490 a ton, not 100% sure though.

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

    What lab was it?

    Did you ring em to complain? Surely they can't be still charging you for that?

    I sent in 6 samples there to FBA week before last - results due Friday... I hope I don't have the same problem...

    For fecks sake - got results of some of the soil samples today...

    Just number sample 1 - 4 - not decking field names the same as yourself Bogman...

    Emailed em, annoying though...

    The fact that nearly every sample shows the place is index 1 for P, and BADLY in the want of line, didn't help my mood either then... :(

    Saw a guy ploughing a rice paddy with ox and plough today. Jesus it's back breaking looking work.

    Also just watching the biggest damn bat I've ever seen outside the window. About the size of a blackbird. I closed the window fairly quick !!

    You'll get a great kick from the lime, it makes a huge difference in that it helps the available N,P and K to work better,

    If you can, take some pictures and put them up here when you get back.
    I'd say everyone would love to see them.:)

    I know now why plumbers charge the way they do. Had to change a multi wick:eek: in the bathroom yesterday. OH is still complaining about leaks today FFS.

    It'll be granlime rather than lime I'd say. Rangler..

    The ground is too steep / awkward for a big lime spreader...

    More expensive tho... :(

    A multi wick is the flexible attachment that joins your toilet bowl to the sewage pipe.

    I feel you're pain Blue. I hate rooting at pipework. There's always one connection that refuses to play ball.
