Well i have been away watching fire men working 3 engine's full of them my neighbour had a bad fire in his garage 1 big Healey and a dozen or so motor bike's all distroyed nobody hurt but a big mess .
Any way the answer to the teazer PLANT BOTLING when we used to plant all the cabbage's and cauliflower's out in june we then went with a tater bodger and a arm full of plants and me with the bottle .
The no1 man went in front with the bodger making hole's were the plant had died or got missed and no2 man dropped a plant by the hole and my job put plant in hole and fasten it in well with the bottle .
It do's not sound much but when you have about 75 acre's to do it take's awhile....jacob
