    I'm not getting anywhere with google searches so would anyone know where online I can get the dates for hedge cutting, gorse burning and slurry spreading? And also if there is a going rate per hour or acre? Thanks.

    Hedge cutting season starts 1st sept and finishes 28th Feb. Depends on flail (1-3 yrs growth) or saw for over grown hedges. Generally around 45 hr around here and over 50 for saw.

    Slurry spreading now permissabke every where once land is able for it and no heavy rain promised within 24 hrs.

    Calendar dates system still operating, what Sea12 means is that all areas are now "open" for spreading.
