Re: Report on my new Propane burner.

Burn the cow poo, yes, of course.
Those nettle roots that are easy to spot are so prolific in my beds that burning would be the only solution. Hopefully, the final solution.
I don't have a days work in me these days though I usually manage four to six hours of pottering about, some days are better than others. My biggest problem is walking about, just being verticle affects everything below my neck so I'm in bed at six every day. Then I get up at six and start some sort of work by eight.
Our dog gives me more work, we don't have carpet, just rugs over oak boards. Dog fur in all the corners so I have to vacuum every day. Recently I do what they do on hospital wards, I go around with one of those flat dusty things on the end of a pole then vacuumed the dusty thing. I think the vacuum blows the fur and dust further.
Right now if I had the money I would pay for help though keeping active has to be good for me, after three roof repairs and some garden work yesterday I felt good. On those days I achieve nothing I feel like a looser.
That burner assembly is saving me a lot of bending over pulling weeds out of the driveway that amounts to half a footbal pitch in area. Spraying was never a solution, not only because of the expense.
Windy weather will be with us shortly and more roof repairs, with a strong southerly the slates vibrate and occasionally one breaks over the nail holes. Hanging slate on hooks rather than nailing through is still not accepted this far west yet it is the solution for high wind load areas.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, Google for 'Slate hooks'.
