Guest cookiemonsterandmerlin Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 All depends on your ground still alot of half grown about but if you got nice open buries then crack on but most folk have hedgerows as the farmers are so behind most havent started flailing yet and with the wet summer cover is going to be thick and unless the weather cools off the nettles will be with us till xmas ATB Cookie Quote Link to post
bobcullen79 1,495 Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 No mate, I should imagine your good to go. I was a bit sceptical down here in the south but we done 5 days last week and out of a 100 odd rabbits, only 1 was pasty sized, the nettles on the other hand.... Quote Link to post
