Hayfever. Sprayed 5 fields with 501 this morning, cried and sneezed all the way; like driving through a sandstorm of grass pollen. What a drag. I'm definitely more of a 500 man; have lunch, coffee, stir for an hour, lesiurely drive round the farm spraying in the late afternoon sun, after the grass has been grazed & topped.
501; get up at 5am, stir whilst half asleep, rush to filter and fill tank, fix pump, drive like crazy through waist-high flowering grass to ensure sprayed before sun gets too high and burns the silica into the leaf. And, inhale huge quantities of grass pollen allowing face to blow up like a balloon. No, 500 for me.
The Field magazine ran a good article on Biodynamics this month. Based around Heritage Prime but with photos of Nigella Lawason, Elizabeth Hurley (?) and Jody Scheckter.
The new president of the Soil Association is Monty Don. He has a soft spot for BD, having worked a BD garden with a group of recovering drug addicts (see link for book).
