You could always have a look at the root system and chop it right down to the crown and its a big maybe it may reshoot again

I think that's the direction I'll take, the soil seems very wet after yet another awful winter.
There doesn't seem to be excessive yellowing of the leaves so will give it some love, take it right back and then it's got 2 choices. Either it will or it won't. I think I'm more sentimental about plants that have always done well then struggle, than I am about people …

A very upset Kent farmer on Newsnight there, he might be leaving fields unsown this year, because he has no idea how much fertiliser will cost, and indeed, if any can be got in the first place.
I have said before about farmers and their subsidies, but this might be a real problem going forward.

I should have said, this is in relation to the closed Straits of Hormuz. Being a journalist, Victoria Derbyshire was ramping up the potential threat to food security.

He mentioned £450 a tonne. Would that be last years price, or what he fears?

fertilizer will be in high demand now because the farmers who dont pre order at last years prices and half pay for it then the rest on delivery are costing the distributors money and someone has to pay extra it will drift on down to the consumers in the end

A couple of months ago, on a field near me, they tipped what looks like hundreds of bales of maybe last seasons fodder, but have just left it in 4 large piles.
Is ot expected that the wind will distribute it all about, or more likely to be used as mulch when a crop starts growing? I doubt i will get any answers if I shout at the nearest tractor!

i expect it will be spread and ploughed back in as natural fertilizer back when i was a lad there would be hundreds of piles of winter fym tipped with horse and cart to be spread on the fields by hand the good old days haha

Ah, so fym - farm yard manure? 3 Hi Lux with Ifor Williams were on site when the piles appeared. I take it a machine will be used to mix it into the soil in due course? I just heard of side slingers on a farmer forum, and chain harrow drags.

Ah it will be spread all over then ploughed in as organic fertilizer ⁰

i dont know of any that you can buy off the shelf you may find a small engineering firm could make up an attachable bracket for you let us know how you get on

If there isn't anything ready-made available, Remap sometimes do things like this, might be worth a look:

@Wibbles … I'm with @michael57 … a local engineering firm is your best bet. Some type of bracket with a swivel would be easy for them to do. Small box steel with some flat bar isn't expensive but the design and frabrication is where the expense would be.
If there's somewhere near you, you could maybe ask if they'd do a prototype with possibly them having other customers wanting the same thing with some advertising ?

Any of you grow veg in pots? I've no garden but would like to have a go. Not sure how successful I'd be 🤔

I've done veggies in pots before @vikingqueen. I found tomatoes and peppers did quite well. I grew them inside for a while then had them outside by a sunny wall. And I had some peas in a larger pot that managed to do alright until the snails got to them! I gave them something to climb up and they were quite happy before being mercilessly devoured 😅
Strawberries are a nice pot plant too and fairly easy to keep alive.
