    Why are ye all putting in bulk bags? Cant see the benefit at all.

    Also just to be anal them bags usually only hold 850kg of sand/stone etc

    Works out less waste than tipping out a trailer and throwing the turf up higher. About half a meal bag of dust out of 2 bags .9m X .9m X .9m

    whats the story with them tents?

    foot the turf :rolleyes:

    And leave to bottom two sods to stay on the damp ground.....silly boy

    I dont tip the trailer. I offload it into the shed. All dust tipped in the bog on return visit. Also have a trailer with mesh floor. No dust by time the trailer home lol

    I agree. Bag it in the bog on the pallet toes on loader. Lift onto trailer . lift off trailer at home into storage area. Then in 2 years move 2 or 3 to garage and burn from there. no filling and refilling

    But i wouldnt be able to stack in the shed? How many bulk bags are in a plot? I get a plot in 3 of my trailers but would think id have more trips to the bog. It takes 35 mins to get there on tractor but only 20 mins for myself and dad to unload.

    Quick question about BPS and leasing\selling land.

    My aunt is in the middle of selling a few acres. Currently there's a farmer renting the land and has been for 10+ years. He is due to be out by the end of the year.
    Another farmer agreed to buy the land and is ready to sign everything but wants the tenant out by the end of July.
    My aunt is willing to refund the tenant for the remaining months he paid for but he is claiming that because he has already submitted his BPS claim that he can't move out until December.

    Will the tenant lose his BPS payment on the land if he moves out in July?

    I started ordering tags at 12.30 today so it would be done before dinner.

    Only just got finished. I had to get the IT guy in Mullinahone to sort out why any password i used wasn't being accepted and then my payment was blocked twice in different sections of the verification process. My card was ultra secure because it wouldn't allow any type of on-line payment at all.

    I hate computers:mad:
