🚨URGENT appeal.🚨
Considering the urgency, and the lack of support from official bodies, I have been left with no option.💔
If you can help, even by sharing this appeal, I would be eternally grateful.
I am begging for a chance to stay alive. 🙏

This is the only treatment option I have. I will die without it. 😭

🔸️@maynoothfarmer rotated aerobic compost which will be spread on the farm. He also spoke about avoiding soil compaction & the value of cover crops.
🔸️Other @BaseIreland members mentioned how hedgerows reduce soil erosion & create habitat for insects that feed on crop pests.
