bowburnbandit 20 Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 I dunno what the deal is, when I was a kid and got stung it hurt for half an hour or so at best, now after a session with the ferrets my hands are tingling for a couple of days I am either getting soft in my old age or the sods are getting worse. We haven't had a decent frost really so they are everywhere 1 Quote Link to post

Jax13 251 Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 I was really tempted to mix a napsak of roundup (commercial stuff, not the b&q crap) and blitz a few miles of hedgerow back in October to encourage the buggers to die back and less to come through the following year but never got around to it. For what it will cost, I'm almost definitely gonna do it this autumn so I can at least have some fun! Only managed to get out 3 times so far this year. Quote Link to post

jok 3,227 Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 How about the dogs.? My springer wasn't at all happy when we we got back Boxing Day. Talk about a whinge. Can't blame him really cause they are damned hot. Quote Link to post
The one 8,467 Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 the first time we went out you couldn't see the lurcher for nettles since then its rained continuously and the next set of off days the forecast says its to be heavy rain , nettles don't worry me they have all drowned LOL 1 Quote Link to post
Arry 21,587 Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 Seem's theres a clump of nettles in ever hole this year, hands were buzzing last time out. We have only had about three light frosts down here and the hedges starting to shoot again. Cheers Arry Quote Link to post
