Raspberry training.
Picking with first year trainees who are doing their induction week, then scratting and pressing windfalls.
Photo 1: Apples are cut into chunks - put through a scratter pictured above, to make them into suitable and small enough pieces for juicing, then it is put through an apple press. |
Gerry gave a brief induction on sharpening secateurs:
- 7-8mm spanners can be used on Felcos.
- Use engine oil on oil stone.
- Sharpen bladed secateur bit at 25 - 30°
- Swipe 30 - 40 times.
- To get out zig zag, sharpen on side of stone until blunt.
- Getting burs out, press blade down.
- Heavily grease parts so that it doesn't wash out so easily and more virkon proof. WD40 is alcohol based so is too thin.
