    Here's the beast! She arrived this afternoon. Starts paying me back for her outlay this weekend.

    That's why you'll never get sick, no fecker with their filthy germs will come round your house! Perfect.

    Nice one flattop, crack on and use this thread unless someone wants to start a new one. Having had one of the vigo spiral presses I think your a legend to have got nine gallons done with it.

    I thought this thread was a wind up, but you really are talking about doing qualifications not to catch moles but know how long a male moles dick is etc! I'm truly gobsmacked.

    Absolute piece of pish to grow! We even bring back bulbs left over from cooking while in France and grow them. You should do well.

    Thanks flattop! I have invested quite a lot of money planting three and a half acres with quality trees with a view to it bringing in a few quid when I retire. I've planted several pear trees too but they are desert pears like the ones you've just managed to acquire. Lovely flavour but will turn slimy when pulped so difficult to extract the juice.

    I decided I couldn't faff around any longer. A lot of apples here now which I'm hoping to press next week, so I've bit the bullet and bought the spiedel apple mill from vigo, it's expensive but after using one last year I knew it was the one.

    Here's the last small one of the liquid gold to be bottled before we box the 220 ltr barrel.

    We've been looking in to regs regarding selling at the gate and how much you can sell before customs and excise become involved, it will be another four years before were into industrial production. It is a long term plan.

    Well I decided I'm not going to find exactly what I'm looking for so for this year I'm going to stick with modern and extremely efficient, so I've bought the big spiedel jobby from vigo. A lot of money but easily recouped when you put it against the value of the cider. We started bottling last year's today, only forty five bottles (430 ish) to go.

    Evening all, Just wondering if anyone has ever seen, knows of plans for a "good" manual apple crusher? Last few years I've used one of the German electric spiedel jobbies which are awesome, but they rely on electric. I want to be old school and produce my pumice manually. Tried the over priced vigo crap that gives you about 30% return and a few other crushers but I need a real productive one. So anyone got any ideas?

    Ordinary outside spiders good! False black widows I'm finding in several of my boxes in pre school and nursery classes this week, not so good.

    Nice one! Not seen hoops in action for ages.

    I've been trapping for a living about18 years, caught thousands of moles, two weeks ago caught my first pure albino. Others have only been catching moles five minutes and had one.

    I usually carry marker paint in varying colours on the van.

    It's supposed to be taken by people who have been in pest control for a while to get basic grounding. Apparently it's been dummed down a bit now so you can do it over the course of a year. If you already been around a while it's easy enough to do after a week course and sit the exam on the last day. I passed this way and I didn't finish school, so it obviously isn't that demanding. There were a few who didn't pass the course, a couple of likely lads who said they knew it all already, and a few just didn't know anything about pest control, one I think was a squaddie using his retraining

    Looking good! Bet it's dry as a nuns #@$% at the moment though. My Mrs got me a 220 ltr ex wine barrel for Xmas, I was going to rack the 45 gal plastic barrel into it and forget until coming autumn, let it do the malo lactic fermentation in there, but decided against it so that I can put this year's juice straight into the wood.

    Oh crap! Not a dry blackthorn day. Been quite pleasant down here once the sun takes the frost off. Incidentally, had my first pumped up male mole of the season today, much earlier than the last 5/6 years.

    Unfortunately Phil, they will always find something if the demand is there.

    After making a few jars recently with both chicken and duck eggs my Mrs pointed out that there were still some in the store I had forgotten about, sure enough there was a big jar of chicken eggs in non brewed white vinegar, over two years old. Well I thought I can't chuck them they look perfect, so I've been eating them all week and they are awesome.

    Must admit my post wasn't the most lucid I've ever posted! scrumpy and forums, not the best recipe. Anyhoo, down here there's quite a few advertising their services, but very few actually do it for a living, it's extra to their main income. The south west being mainly rural, there is literally oceans of work out there, the mole numbers used to be kept in check by the strychnine brigade, but most of them have thankfully just about ran out of their stash now. So farmers are trying to find people capable of clearing vast tracts of land and not finding anyone. My worry is that if soon there ar

    Clives a top bloke, if people can't take the heat (competition) they should stay out the kitchen. A lot of us who have really been doing it for a living have been free with our help, except pricing in my case, as the question gets on my moobs, lol. There are in my opinion still far too few moleys to cope with the work out there.
