Yeah but you've got to hit a target at a distance. ie from the garden shed doorway to the compost heap.  Big Grin

I sense there's been some serious practice sessions been carried out Smile. The distance from our shed to the compost heap is 50 yards and uphill! Not going to happen.

That record holder guy lives where I grew up. Not a lot to do there now the pits have closed, except drink the local beer and grow giant vegetables  Smile
How much veg and wildlife can I pack into a 6m x 8m garden in suburban Cambridge? Let’s find out!  Smile
