How many?

[HeyWayne]

Not wanting to put a dampener on anything, but I believe that picture was taken at a protest in America about the latest Iraq war, where one pair of shoes was put down and named for every US person killed (around 1000 pairs at the time!).

Not wanting to do the opposite, but it appears I'd my decimal point in the wrong place. 1000 pairs would equate to 2000 feet, not 200, so I was way off!

For visual impressions, and very roughly, a Hectare is the size of a Premiership football pitch with grass surround and an Acre is about half a pitch-ish!

One Hectare = 2.47 Acres

I know you won't believe this Snadger, but there are people to whom the size of a football pitch means nothing at all! But we attempt to lead otherwise blameless and useful lives.

http://www.elsoms.com/PDFs/Elsoms%20...0Catalogue.pdf and look at page 47, range stated is 250,000 to 3,000,000 seed per acre.

You mean the television has other programmes on it?

Nah ..........can't believe that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just turn on your television set, have a quick look at 22 players kicking a pigs bladder around the pitch and you will see what I mean!

You wish to be proud of that?!

[Flummery]

I've got one in the corner somewhere. TV, not pig's bladder!

I'm with Flummery - haven't got a clue how big a premiership football club pitch would be! However, as a younger person and before we moved to the family smallholding, we had a lovely house with an acre and a quarter garden (that's how I came to have a pony - he helped with grass control on the slopes)

[Flummery]

You wish to be proud of that?!

Not proud - but not ashamed!

[beefy]

Ha!!
I was actually trying to imagine how many of Beefy's trucks you'd need nose to tail!!!!

Well- trailer is 45 feet long + unit which sticks out another 7 -8 feet = 52 -53 feet .
So roughly 4 lorrys long by 4 lorrys wide

Ok flum, how about visualising 3333 quilts joined together? for a Hectare of quilts!!

[HeyWayne]

How big was Hectares House?

[valmarg]

Sorry Piglet, I cheated. I looked at the Moles seed catalogue, and the Chantennay 2 Red cored is £2.24 per 25 grams.

At 8-900 seeds per gram, I work that out as a minimum of 20,000 seeds.

How big an area would that seed?
