I had some good news yesterday - an e-mail from John Lloyd (proprietor of the 'Flock-it' machine etc) who stated that the caution about pacemakers was a U.S. requirement (its marketed as 'Grassmaster' in the US) but he has several customers who have pacemakers fitted. I've copied the email to the wife just in case!

So, time to add some greenery to the disused quarry. Whilst I'd never used a machine in the past (I have used the balloon/jumper technique tho!) there are plenty of 'how-to' videos on 'YouTube' which I did watch (trying hard not to get sidetracked by videos offering views of crashing model aircraft. Spectacular!).

So the process I used was quite standard and I'm reasonably happy with the results. Hopefully they will improve over time. 'Scarlet Pimpernel' and 'Eidelwiess' (the little white flowers) were added from the 'Silfor' range. Whilst expensive I think the effect is worthwhile and adds the required little splashes of colour. There's more to do, obviously - each ledge need to be treated individually with fringes of grass & weeds, but that can be done 'as & when'.
