"a load" is not very discriptive..... what size was the trailer and how high was it loaded?

ordered a " trailer load" of 150 bags last year . when it came they where really small bags i was expecting fertiliser bags for 300 euro:eek:

Its €3.50 a fertiliser bag down here or €350 for a 10x6 trf trailer with 5ft rails...

Yep, thats the price round Roscrea Tipp/Laois border for a trailer load too.

This year I've bought SUPER black turf for €320 for a plot.
Theres a foreign burd who will foot the whole plot for €80 too.;)

I'm in Laois, and as much as I'd like to take my JD for a spin, a trip to Mayo is a bit far to deliver turf!!! But I'll make an exception if I'm gettin the €800 one of the other guys heard about
