Just been the market and picked up 5 boxes of the Eucalyptus leaves, great for making a tea for the birds.

I've got plenty here, how many tons do you want?

I used to use the pigeon tea for my widowhood cocks on the day after racing back in the 90s. They did seem to like it. I did buy a box when I started back up but I think I only tried it once. The birds didn’t seem to want to drink it. It’s still in the cupboard but probably not much good now.

Back in the 90's I used to use a lot of Colombine Tea during the autumn/winter months

I've also used these herbal teas and tinctures too

The fact that I moved away from them tells you everything you need to know really

I purchased two eucalyptus plugs couple years ago they are now trees, one in front of each loft and I break the branches off and put in front of top openers

I think a lot of herbs are more for healthy living and later life but need to be taken constantly to work
I can’t see them turning me into mark cavendish

If i administer something I like to see/feel the impact of it

If I don't then I move away from it

But, you know, I was always results/performance focussed and based my judgements solely on that.

Shockingly to me some fanciers aren't, and I can never quite get my head around that.

If I had to spend an extra tenner a week to get me an extra yard on a Saturday, I say DEAL

I got 5 packets for around £4.00, these are for a young flyer. I get them for him every time i go away. He just boils some in water for 12 minutes. Then lets the water cool down and strain, he then puts the water in the drinker.
