Because Oct 31 = Dec 25. Seasons greetings to all. Weedpharma

After months of wet weather when I go to my farm in the south west of Western Australia, last weekend was beautiful and sunny but cool. Just right for digging up some dirt to turn into a vege patch. The area is in my small "orchard". I have pulled out some non productive fruit trees and used the...

Yes I am a pedant but I wish to point out a common error appearing often. There is no such thing as watts per hour or amps per hour. Both watts and amps are instantaneous values with no time element. The terms that involve time are amp hours and watt hours. These represent amps times hours and...

When I reply to a post, the cursor dissapears until I start typing. If I move the cursor to edit what I have written, the cursor stays in the original location until I start typing. If I stop typing it dissappears until I type again. This happens often though in this new thread there has been...

I purchased some 27W LED floodlights via ebay. I powered one from a power supply and found it only drew 1.25A. This is only about 15W. When I contacted the supplier, He checked his stock (after I taught him how to use the multimeter!) and he agreed that it was not 27W. He offered to give a...

My plan to to take on the Chinese garlic market has had a slight setback. Most garlic in Australia comes from China and I wanted to grow my own and more. This year I planted a couple of thousand bulbs in autumn and have now picked them. Unfortunately it was not a great success. While they all...

I have a paddock of approx 5 acres that is currently just weed. A neighbour is considering growing pumpkins on the paddock next season (October). We have agreed that if he does, he will plough the area, grow pumpkins and then level and seed for hay. I then get the hay. No money changes hand. I...

My tractor is on my farm and I need the size of a particular bolt so I can buy a spanner for my next trip. I would appreciate anyone with an L4400 telling me what size a the bolt is. On the right side under the floor is a connection block for hydraulic pipes. The bolt I need is holding on a...

I have now had my country estate for 20 years. Over this period I have turned my camp into some sort of comfort. It has a caravan under a tin roof extending to a verandah. My power is solar (64W of panels) and a ~2500Ahr battery bank. I have dam water gravity fed from a tank and rainwater for...

Just curious about your thoughts on using Termidor for ant control. The product is now approved for use on ants (apart from termites) and I want to use it to remove ants that are taking over (I may be a bit generous with this statement:o) my place. They are traveling hundreds of meters and...

For a long time now, the forum index page takes 20 -30 seconds to load. This is most noticable when returning from reading a forum. If I go into a forum and read page 1 then 2, then click the back arrow, page 1 takes a very short time but going back to the index takes 20 -30 seconds. It gets...

Access to my place is via a right of way over another lot. The road is 1km long and includes two gates along the length. A couple of visits ago I found one of the gates laying down as the post had broken off at the base. The gate and post were too heavy to lift and as it was dark, I drove over...

I have a Stihl brushcutter with a hole worn in the fuel tank. It is a type of white plastic and is used for two stroke fuel. Does anyone know of a glue or similar that can be used to seal the hole. What is the best way to clean the oil from the tank? I have tried silicon but it did not stick...

After reading about them for years, I finally built mine. I used 10mm steel for the top and bottom pieces. The bottom has been tapped to receive the 12mm HT bolts that will also have nuts. There is one on each end of the bucket. Now I have tried them, I know I should have made them years ago...

As a new player, I had to learn the hard way. I have just had a close look rather than the cursory sideways galnce at the points on my spring tyne harrow. I should have turned the points long ago. I have now worn away a good part of the shank on most of the tynes. Not yet beyond repair but most...
