    Every thing looks to be doing really well Jim including the ferrets. If I ever get my allotment half as productive as that I will be happy. I have some bottles of rhubarb water on stand by

    Out of interest does any one use hazel end pins ? I tried on my first attempt at a net so wasn't bothered what I used but I found them really nice to handle. Much better feel running the net out because you could feel every thing and silent. I understand you have to cut your lines and lose the nice running of a circular line but I didn't really have any issues. Also the danger of the pins slipping through the net of course I did attempt to make some wooden circular pins but as you see they didn't pan out but handle nice any way

    Well I have been quite busy and with the wifes and daughters help we are making some head way. Also gifted some plants from a neighbour which has been really helpful. Now I have a few things in I can slow down and enjoy things a bit. Had a chat with the previous owner today who showed me a comfrey plant that I would have unknowing chopped down and also how to make fertiliser out of it. He showed me the end result which looked like an olive oil all very clever stuff. and hardly a third of the way yet

    I was thinking the same Luke but didnt have a clue where to start until I saw this. I think the 12 inch mesh is square

    Very informative I was looking for a post like this the other day because I just couldn't envisage how it was assembled. Needs to be pinned so it doesn't drift off as I haven't found a post describing it any where else.

    This fella tc http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Bronson_%28prisoner%29 This bit made me chuckle ----------------- He ran 90 miles (140 km) away from the scene to his parents' home, where he was apprehended. ------------------ No wonder he went loopy

    Picked up the keys to my first ever allotment this morning well chuffed. Its all over grown with grass so plenty of work. I had a choice of one with some gooseberry bushes or rhubarb on so I opted for the rhubarb. Looks like it has been there a while just needs a bit of maintenance maybe. Will have to read up. Plenty of ideas on this thread too

    My JR in all his years of ferreting never dropped to ground on rabbit but he would fox. He started ferreting from very young age and new his stuff. But I guess others may do

    Had an interest in hunting from an early age I remember running around the fens with a home made bow and arrow must have been about 8. Never hit any thing mind. Then we moved to wales and the old chap across the road had ferrets and showed me how to snare rabbits. So I started setting a few snares for rabbit and fox and some fenns for mink. Used to have a little trap line I walked every day thought I was davey crockett Also trapped a few mole 5p a skin if I remember correctly Got my first ferret followed by my first terrier. That little dog taught me a hell of a lot and we grew up together

    If she legs when she hits a scent I suspect not sounds like a promising worker if you can get a handle on her. Not easy I know. As a kid my cousins Jack Russell used to have a working range of about 2 fields made me chuckle because mine stayed with in a 100 yards unless he hit a scent then he just followed it too its conclusion. Only way I could get him off the scent if he was heading for trouble was to shout rabbit and point in the other direction then he would coming legging it back. Never forget the disgusted look he used to give me when he twigged I had lied
