jakescot Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 ive only seen a couple of stock farms as clean and tidy as yours stephen, a credit to you and nice to see.....we have a perfectionist near us who kicks up a fuss if he sees as much as a couple of stalks of straw blowing around, yes seriously slightly off topic if you`ll allow me, I saw a welsh upland farm once set on the side of a hill where all the dirty water ran down towards the huge slurrystore build into the hill side.the slurry and muck was scraped or ran there too or was dumped beside it.With all the rainwater caught , stored then used for drinking and to wash the whole place down regularily.this had allowed the guy to cut his fertiliser use too.................something very relevant today yet he was doing this 15 or 20 years ago.

tractorbob Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 we have a west 1600, they like watery stuff but not box muck unless its rotted or mixed with slurry .. all your muck would go through a west or similar and they take no driving as the drive cog is quiet big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 That's a great way to feed your lawn Stephen... Does it smell very much Do you need a license to be able to spread that Can you charge a tidy sum for that service Is there much call for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it smell very much Do you need a license to be able to spread that Can you charge a tidy sum for that service Is there much call for it the smell is quite good but only for a few days ain'nt charged anyone yet its always been a case of a return favour so far which works well considering the number of lawns about not too many had seen this stuff so stunts the moss and encourages growth one guy that got it done on a Wednesday, cut his lawn on Saturday and was out cutting it again the following Monday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 That is a superb idea! Never thought of anyone trying that before. Just the sort of thing that should be encourage with grant aid. Good thinking, Stephen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
