    Goats are ideal for controlling weedy growth on a slope ... here in Norfolk we solve problems creatively ...

    Dove.. that is hilarious! What a lovely day out for the thing. I had goats as a teenager.. lovely things. Don't get a billy, even if they are much cheaper. Smelly and most often a PIA. A nanny is far better. Might be good to get two, being herd animals they get lonely otherwise. (Just in case our dear reader is not up on mammalian facts, you don't have to milk a nanny goat unless it's had relations with a billy in the past year.. so they make lovely pets and are far less work than a eg. dog).

    @Blue Onion  😊 
    When @WonkyWomble was a child we lived on a 9 acre smallholding and I had a herd of milking goats for milk and making and selling cheese  ... mainly Golden Guernseys, some British Saanans and a BrIrish Toggenburg.

    @Dovefromabove I had the most wonderful Toggenburg.. she was my best friend during those difficult teenager years transitioning from child to woman.  After I got her my brother got an Alpine the following year, and I got another Tog the year after that.  We had that herd of three for years as I grew up and eventually went off to College.  They were pets, and followed me all through the woods in the forests near my house.  We would hike for miles, crossing back roads and roaming.  They came when I called and always followed close behind.. grazing their way across field and forest.

  • I bought this and the 5l Pathclear. The pump/spray does not work correctly. Hardly sprays and chokes up. No matter how much pressure you have or how much you mess about with the nozzle you get a weak jet of liquid. Most of the product is wasted. Virtually impossible to maintain the required pressure. The pump/spray packed up when I had 50% of the product left, I had to dispense it into another container. Save your money and buy the smaller ones with the hand trigger, better value overall by the time you take into account the wastage.

    I'm interested in how you managed to 'buy' a review site @christinavidot. That's what your link is for.

    Perhaps you could explain  :)
