  1. That would be a good angle to try tc thank you
  2. Great pictures and I love the terriers mentality I don't care if there is two rocket ship lurchers in front its worth a crack anyway, wait until he hits the hedge Great little dogs
  3. Thats very true the cost soon mounts especially if using containers and need to get compost in. But the spuds I grew for the first time a couple of years ago I haven't tasted spuds that good since I was a kid and we grew our own stuff then. They caught me out too because they cooked in a few minutes not like the ones you buy that need boiling for a day and half to get tender
  4. Just curious does any one with a Bro Myrddin House have more that one dog ? Been reading there bumf and it says they have a policy like the council of one dog only. I was thinking of seeing if they would let me house one out side we have a nice concrete back yard.
  5. Proper little JR's nice too see
  6. lol cobblers you don't need a 500 quid air rifle to kill rabbits
  7. Circumstances dictate everything T but if possible live for the moment you dont know whats round the corner. Very true indeed you could be 20 and get hit by a bus or 70 and go onto 90 as you say best live for the moment
  8. I will after some thing for ferreting either a terrier type or maybe a whippet. We have a rented house so only allowed one dog which at the moment is a pet cocker and he is 6 years old so I wont be getting one for a while yet . Which brings me to another question at what age would you think to your self well I aint going to be around for another 10-15 years so I better not get another dog ? or does no one consider that
  9. We used to the cheap engine oil from quick save at the time years ago. Saw's used 5-6 days a week with out bother dare say it wasn't ideal compared to the proper stuff but you had to watch the pennies
  10. Yea there a good size and I haven't tried the water granules my self
  11. great pictures again and a good day
  12. Some nice crops there I might give the peppers another go. I don't have a green house only one of them plastic 20 quid jobs but its good for starting stuff off. What is in the second picture down on the right with long green leaves ?
  13. Yea the only problem with containers is the constant watering especially the smaller ones. Spuds did very well though and I used any old bag the ones you get compost in work well. and I also didnt notice a massive increase in crop by using a bigger container. Salad stuff did well and pole-star runners did great. I never had any luck with the peppers and stuff though
  14. That looks a cracking spot and all them rabbits along that ditch with no cover but they have them hedges in the distance. They need survival lessons off our welsh rabbits. Some great pictures too
  15. Dam it I should have skipped the council tax bill this morning
  16. Christ can't even tell a 15 year old what to do hardly unless you want to turn it into a fight which is obviously not the way
  17. Some prat went through our village the other day slashed all the tyres on one street. Lots of scum about now a days my daughters going out with one
  18. My old jr marking he new to be quiet and keep to the side of a hole very smart fella. Around here a rabbit will rarely dash far out of cover anyway as a rule lurcher has no chance at least a terrier can get back in cover and put it to ground again.
  19. that's bloody brilliant love it even the music is spot on
  20. Some interesting points of view nice to read both sides terrier or lurcher. I would all ways go for a terrier simply due to size and the fact they can get in any cover and under or through any fence. The only thing that would stop me now a days is the fact if it was a good terrier it would go to ground on either a fox or worse so when I replace my cocker it will be a whippet cross only due too that fact
  21. terrier would be good for that and they can get under the sheep/pig wire as a rule As for the training just get them out as much as possible with the ferrets and spend lots of one on one time they soon catch on
  22. Terriers make great ferreting dogs as they will hunt the rabbits up in thick cover and put them too ground and mark. They can obviously due to there size get in any cover unlike a lurcher. If you miss a rabbit with the nets when it bolts they will just put it too ground again or a good one will any way. It might not be so keen to bolt second time round but it is efficient. My only concern in this day and age would be badgers as they seem to be every where now a days
  23. Mine was just good for latching onto my jack Russell who was actually a great worker
  24. I use the mesh boards from here http://www.agouti-nets.co.uk/category/41-mesh-boards 2 1/4 inch ones and the net I am making at the moment is 12 meshes but I will be adding a half a mesh either side for selvedge
