The plough on e-bay is not what you want.
What you need is a furrower, looks like a V shaped snow-plough. Try Chester Hudson on http://www.mdr.co.uk/tillerparts/tillerparts4.html , be aware customer care can be erratic, but a MOST knowledgable chap on Howards. He did have some furrowers last year and they are specific to the Howard model.

Mr Potato Head, any news on suggestions for magazine?
There were a number of threads about improvements and suggested topics for the magazine on this new forum.
Having just got a subscription for Christmas I wondered which of the suggestions were going to be taken up?
Also were the owners still up for suggestions?

Frozen Kale
I have grown two types of kale this year, Redbor and Green, in two different spots on the allotment. The plants which get more sunshine are fine, the more sheltered plants have managed to loose leaves and in some cases the crown to frost damage. I was under the impression that Kale was very hardy an...

The plans of mice and men....
My plans have come to naught. Partly the weather, my part of Hertfordshire had an inch or two of snow and plenty of hard frost, this has been followed by rain, mostly however by dealing with a confused eighty-seven year old mother who managed to fall twice gaining 20 facial stitches and a great deal...

Many years ago I worked on summer in a flower nursery. They had ex Royal Navy (they said) boilers and one on the jobs prior to planting out each strip in the glasshouses was to sterilise it.

Leaf drop.
Article in the Daily Mail about how late the leaf drop is this year. Wondered what un-seasonal effects KG people round the UK were seeing this year. Hawthorn still quite green. Oak yellow but hanging on. Blackthorn hardly changed. Oak of course is now shading two thirds of my allotment. Other odditi...

Rotovators
Tel, go on then list them. My wife complains at me because I have got five rotovators. I have to keep explaining that; The engine on the MkIV GEM is bust. The digging bits on the Mk I GEM are missing, but the steel wheels were worth the £20 it cost. If I can get the MKI engine & wheels onto the ...

Nice one.
Do you subscribe to Land Rover International? A colleague is seriously into Land Rovers & gives me his cast-off magazines as I have a passing interest. This magazine has several pages devoted to LR's in strange places and gives assesments on their usability or restorability. Sometimes all that i...

Allotment hedge advice

For those that do not know barbed wire is a no-no these days. I hope to get some mixed hedging , out of the c...
