I agree Dennis and you hope that those skills will still be passed down but I suppose if they can make money out of litter..... I think I would worry if they weren't still mixing it in with their ancient skills.
There are always differences of opinion on here between those of us that try and hold on to the skills we were taught only 40 years ago and those who see no point if it can be done with a piece of equipment. Maybe it's about keeping a balance

To me, one of the most prominent skills in this post is imagination.

It's a skill I struggle to learn.
