Unfortunately, we didn&#8217;t get the flow rate fight and dumped a whole lot in a couple of stripes round the paddock.  Today, a hot 30 degree day, the retic stopped working and I could see the grass turning black almost before my eyes.  The inlet pipe had burst again.  I found the very blunt hacksaw to cut the hole out, but it was about as useful as a butter knife.  I finally cut it through, but realised that I wouldn&#8217;t be able to fix the retic as I couldn&#8217;t cut out the connector.  I was hot, bothered, and worried that the grass was all going to die after a year of nurturing and got a bit weepy, well hysterical would be a better description as I knew it was going to be a hot day the day after.  After feeding all the animals, I drank half a bottle of whisky and fell asleep on the couch with a shopping list in hand to get the pieces and new hacksaw blade the next day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We used the agrifab spreader\/aerator for the first time in the summer paddock.
