hi terry thats good news its just i saw a video via here where the product (alum) seemed to work a treat with the process, i will look into the blueberry fertilizer/aluminium sulphate thanks very much indeed :)

might seem a strange naive question but have just found someone in Ireland who deals with wild rabbits as a pest controller and would let me have some young ones(if i knew they would breed with my meat rabbits) couldnt find enough info through google but have faith in rabbit talk for some...

Thats good as no intention of showing...though i must admit i am now one of those who did not like the surprize that these were not pure bred as i was told! And thats even better that they 'all taste the same' Dood because thats my main intention with them, thanks so much :bunnyhop:
