Latest moan from you and me 2026
Already been used for spraying cocaine crops in Colombia and other countries in South America and I believe it was used to spray opium poppies in Afghanistan pre Taleban return.

Strawberries preparing
The bed is 6m x 1/2m two strips. Bit expensive and labour intensive with straw. Vine weevil I did not know about, I'll look that up. I will dig out the older plants and let the new suckers take over.
