A
visit to Shropshire to demonstrate to an organic farming
group. Brought together by Julia Brereton of SASKAT Machinery
Ring (which runs a labour section). Docks & Spear
thistle in pasture were looked at. The event was publicised
locally. Some 12 Lazy Dog root lifters were left with
SASKAT. These were to encourage the organization of weeding
brigades, and to make land managers aware of their availability.
