Its that time of year again...we have a tough time every spring trying to agitate the slurry, big lumps and an old system...€160 seems a lot for a little pot of bacteria...but would save on diesel in April...anyone tried this stuff or similar?

I'm thinking of using it as well so I'd be interested to hear of anyone's experience with it.
It sounds good, with the potential to save at least the price of it in Diesel agitating. Plus its supposed to increase the N in the slurry.

Any more independent reviews of it? I've never heard of it before to be honest, it certainly does sound well worth it if it does actually achieve what it says, and what the reviews state.

However no way in hell I'd trust the 3 reviews like that, all giving it 5stars and saying how brilliant it is, they couldn't look more fake/bias if they tried to ha! Its a product that the likes of Teagasc etc need to independently test and verify the results of 1stly(or maybe they have for all I know!)

How big a tank would a litre pot do... Would you have to buy it every year ( or could you hold some slurry back to reinocculate next years tank.... ) if it works it sounds great...

Read the one for septic tank, says it helps the aerobic bacteria, but a septic tank works on anaerobic bacteria, my 3rd section of my tank works on aerobic.

would need to read a bit more about it

i would agree with nobbies, a few loads of pig slurry, a month before mixing, works well. At least 15 years ago a Rep. arrived in the yard selling a bacteria type product called "PitBoss". I was sorely tempted, as the previous year there was about 40 foot of solids under a cubicle tank (long narrow tanks are a disaster), about 5 feet deep. The price oif the product was running into about 400 punts, so declined. Did get a few loads of pig slurry during the winter, however, and there was no sign of the solids at all. Was never tempted again, after that. Only problem is, having room in the tanks for the pig slurry, when the time comes! And piggeries have no problem getting rid of slurry in the spring time, usually. Best to get in the closed season. Iver inCavan
