Organic Veg Grower Rates Our Horticultural Weeders JF Hudson Spapperi Customer Review

Описание: In the third of our Spapperi customer review videos, ‪@LandPowerTV‬ visits The Organic Pantry to ask how they rate their Spapperi SA100 Inter Plant Weeder.

The Watsons have been farming at St Helens Farm, near Tadcaster, for over 100 years. They grow over 50 different varieties of surface veg, potatoes and salad crops on 300 acres of organic land.

Owner Jonnie Watson explains how he uses his weeder in everything he grows, including brassicas, lettuce, onions and more. They haven't had to lift a hoe this year (2022) and that is with no protection through chemicals being a herbicide-free operation.

He shares how the weeder has made decisions going forward a lot easier knowing that it looks after the all-important part of an organic crop which is weed control. The consistent performance of the Spapperi Inter Plant Weeder has added an element of flexibility as to when to do it.

As we wanted unbias feedback we sent James Rickard of LPTV to ask the questions. Here is what they cover in the interview:
