New toys

Our latest arrival to the farm arrived this week. We've finally managed to locally source a Lawn sweeper for our lawnmower. This simple device sits behind the lawn mower and picks up all the cut grass, twigs and assorted rubbish and lets us easily dump it in a place. I just need to learn how to reverse with a trailer. We also bought a Trailer with removal back plate and tipping function and a dethatcher which removes the dead trapped grass and moss from the ground. All this wasn't cheap but will hopefully make maintain our grassed areas better. This will also please Piggy as she gets all the clippings to chew and to make a bed from.
The Local shop were awesome. They assembled and delivered all the equipment for free and then gave us a discount as well! A big thumbs up from us
