If he follows his Grandad he would do that for free if he was in the area.He did actually spread grit around the yards on the snow back in January.
Cheers Dave.

Being a towny what does the lime do ? Tony

The answer is because some soils are too acidic for agricultural crops to grow well. For instance, many soils n England are now more productive because lime is added. However, the use of inorganic nitrogen fertilisers also makes soil acidic, which is why lime use now has to be more routinely and widely used to keep Ph levels up. Unfortunately, the application of lime releases the carbon in the lime, which means this practice is an agricultural source of CO2 (greenhouse gas). Hope that helps.

Hi Dave thanks for that. Tony

I took an Axor on our Manchester run on Wednesday; A rented 6w on a 56 plate, very basic but it was quite a good drive. Only criticism really was the awful 8speed 'box.
