Overalls
July 5th, 2017My overalls are a bit ragged and the poppets duff, so they are not protective against bugs, small debris from vegetation and chainsaw dust etc. Being fed up with trying to find Fairtrade organic cotton ones, with zips. I bought these from

Sadly one is two are 65% polyester and I think one has teflon coating. (page 3)
Seebbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-40498292At least they won't get washed much and even then the crap will stay on the land.
Received and after some deliberation have decided to keep one of the polycotton them, would have been better just to order the cotton and wait for the light-weight option. But returning is a journey for me and a bit of extra work for others, all down to me.
Good to have zip to keep out the dust and insects. Mind you the side slots could do with zips?
Redhawk overall £26.50
The style is fine but the colour is a bright orange, brighter than the image advertised.
100% cotton overall £48
Again the colour is off, this is much richer and brighter, and the reflective strips are grey, not so white as in the image. The zips tracks are plastic.

Rodents 'n' Rabbit
May 18th, 2018Well I'm pretty sure I saw a rabbit yesterday crossing the track from the compost field to the Townsend's field, so much to look forward to there maybe.
On the rodent scene I have problem with peas and beans being eaten. Initially it was before they came through the soil, then it include when they were a centimetre or two tall, now some at 10cm.
