Tried that, didnt make any difference. If i get a chance tomorrow ill try and get the injector piup off. Have a good pump on the "spare parts/scrap" jeep so it's not going to cost money, just time.

Mechanic just rang. It's fixed. Will let you know the story when we go to get it later

Fish the guaze out at the inlet banjo bolt to the injector pump. Its down a good bit, you will need a piece of wire to fish it out. Not easy to find but there is a guaze down there. Our jeep is flying

He also made a small adjustment on the diaphragm

A 3/4 limo 1/4 si/brfr cow.

Not familiar with that film, name please.
I was hoping it was a cow, but I remember reading a restaurant reviewer's autobiography where she admits sucking a cat to see what the milk tastes like.....

Heard a topic on lmfm earlier that 13% of suicides are agriculture related, that cant be true?

Gosh that would be very high.. Even for those poor souls within the Ag community who take their lives, Agriculture itself may not be the reason.. Any data on the reasoning behind suicides would be very vague I'd imagine, probably just speculation.

Who was presenting the 30%? I sometimes find these statistics are manipulated to suit the agenda of who ever is bringing them up.

For example; A young man commited suicide last year close to us. Happened on the family farm, local politician used it as another agri related suicide example. The young lad had as much interest and involvement in agriculture as the neighbours cat.

Depends on who wants to make political gains usually. "Another attack on rural community" is the latest FF bandwagon line. If there is a local hospital due for cuts then that'll be latched on to. A&E closed near us before, uproar over it. Any accident that could be milked by the local opposition parties was milked to the hilt.

Of course its too high... but what % of the population are Agricultural rather than Urban ?? I'd wager its more than 13%

Not a bit. I'm doing it on grazed ground that wont see cattle for 5 wks again.

marathon · 06-04-2016 02:57PM

Would I want to leave it 5 wks before crazing it again then?

You'll possibly have to shake a bit of CAN again but you'll get a good shot of P&K from the dung.

Cheers I'll go spread so.

Last government parties spent six months talking about the recovery and boasting about their enormous tax take on the back of it, all in the interest of conning the electorate into reelecting them.
What has happened is the unions are queuing up members to strike to get their share of this supposed loot.

Does anyone know the guidelines for spreading Lime after slurry and should it be spread before or after fertilizer...or does it make little difference?
