    Would you believe it but that bit was never reseeded... Just graze it tight enough, run chain harrow over it to spread dung pats (no sheep yet) and fert/ lime ..mcpa killed off all the rubbish and keeping it short has encouraged a better sward.. That field got seaweed too though .. I rate it highly

    At different tides .. Good clean drift weed comes into beach/shore .. You have to get it quick before bottle tops, sanitary towels fishing line etc start landing on it .. I load her onto flat 6ft x 4ft trailer on quad and straight out on land = handled once .. It's hard work but it definitely makes grass more palatable as cows can pick out the areas that have had weed on it

    I went to see it here the other night. A couple of people complained after that it was so different from the film. I'd have battered them with a script if it was close to hand:D

    I presume that is to do with the sodium in it. The same stuff they add to I think its 'sweetgrass' to increase the palatability.

    From a riding school near Trim,in Meath, last summer. Too many Ponies, not enough Mammies with the readies anymore. Had choice of 6. Will do her for a few years yet, but if things change, will drop you a line, thanks.

    And he is 8 years old.

    Always nervous of riding school ponies as they seem to be programmed to go in clockwise circles a bit like circus ponies.

    Any change let me know, cheers
