    I'm a car guy, but Harry's Farm is becomming more interesting than Harry's Garage to me.
    I must be getting older.

    There's nothing quite so relaxing as looking at a herd of contented cattle. On my parents' farm, the dairy cows used to graze on an area that was once a park for the country house of a vast farming estate and it was one of the most picturesque views you could imagine to see them amongst the trees on gently rolling grassland. Cheers, from New Zealand.

      I'm on the sunny West coast and most of the rain goes over my top and comes down inland, particularly in the hills. Having said that, it is much wetter almost consistently than from the Cotswolds over to Dover and up the East coast.
      There is also different soil and land to consider. Whether it is relatively free draining, sandy, silty, clay, stony, and whether there are a plethora of springs around and whether the land is drained or not. Farming has so many variables and depends so much on the weather, most people have no idea about it.

    As a past horse owner I would be interested to hear the outcome of the bridle path issue. We had a bridge on one of our bridle paths which fell into disrepair far worse than yours and which in the end was taken down because the horses liked to walk in the water as it was good exercise for them and if it got deeper then swimming was an even better form of exercise for them! Looking at your bridge which looks in good repair I wonder why it was felt necessary to repair it if indeed it required repair.
    As to the rest of the video another factual and interesting update for which many thanks. Regards, Chris

    nutrients back up to the surface ? Maybe it's cheaper just to add new fertilizers ?
