One for the Disgraced Tory MP Neil Parish... some Tractor pictures.

How do they get the tent pegs up?
They use a giant magnet!

 

Firstly, the grass is harrowed to help pull up any tent pegs (and metal) that have been left in the ground.

Then, this is the huge magnet they use to get up the tent pegs and other metal dropped.

The Grass is Harrowed for a second time.
Then they go over with the magnet for a second time and with a roller, so anything that is missed with the magnet is pushed into the ground, out of the way of grazing animals.

Aren’t most pegs aluminium that won’t be magnetic?  I can see that it would be great for cans and other metal left but not sure about pegs

One tent pegs are steel. Ones with more expensive tents are an aluminium alloy to keep weight down.

Magnet certainly works...

Where do you think Smash instant spuds comes from?

Potato starch tent pegs were lethal.  They often shattered as you hammered them in.

Cans are aluminium.

I've still got one so they don't bio-degrade that easily or quickly...

They seem to last forever as long as you don't get them wet.
