Topgunners Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Got a call from a farmer this week who has just planted Borage. He reckons by this weekend should be worth a couple of days of shooting on the pigeons. and I gets another call from another farmer saying 300-400 rooks are nicking his feed mountains. Saturday morning VERY early I will be waiting for them. Dave K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 I don't think I have ever seen borage farmed commercially. My mother use to grow some in her herb garden and I remember it had a blue flower. What do the pigeons eat, the seed, foliage, flowers.... ?

I have been told that they attack the shoots just after they appear which only takes 6-8 days. I am going for a reccy later. 6th day.
