I guess the diary is back by popular demand. I�ve had so many emails asking me to carry on I felt it was only fair that I did, at least until we get the WR or retire.
So with no further ado welcome back to the Patonator patch.
As you can see, we�ve been very busy getting the patch ready for steam sterilising.
After steaming for 6 hours we had 80C or 176F at 30cm or 12inches.
Most of the bad pathogens and weed seeds are killed at around 60C or 140F
Steaming also mends soil by a process called flocculation which basically means joining all the soil particles together.
I won�t tell you what it cost but lets just say I will probably be sleeping in my shed when Sarah sees the bill.
We did get through 2500 litres or 550 gallons of diesel.
