No need to replace anything... I think the clover is taking over the field... I don't care, personally, as long as the field is completely covered. The clay (heavy sea clay) we live on is very sticky when wet...

Some will argue that PVs are ughly. Not so, have a look at newer offering at Home Power.com |
I'd love a few panels... About 12 m wide and 2m high would do perfectly...
It's not the looks, it's the financing that is holding me back.
