Cutting Turf 2022.

You're not the only one, the bog where i bring the dogs for a walk has more turf cut than I ever saw before

You’re not alone…

How much are contractors charging to cut on your own plot?

€47/hopper here for 8 rows by 120 yards

Ah jaysus you’ve gone to the dark side. 😂😂😂😂 although I bought a lorry load myself a few weeks ago. Hardest part throwing it into the shed. No midges ateing me.

Cut the "Eamon Ryan" bonus 3 hoppers this year too...

I can't find a lorry of it to buy and I hadn't time to cut any.

This is the second time I've seen the word "reared" used, what does that mean regarding turf

Interesting, I always thought it was a turf only thing. Not sure I have anyone ever said ‘rear hay’ - thinking about it, you mostly hear ‘save hay’ or ‘make hay’ down here…

Got my first load home last night. Have another 4 or 5 loads to get but not dry enough

government becoming increasingly more interfering in every day lives of people. we will get a rationing book next

Burning turf is nothing to do with your property rights.

Its bad for all of us and will be rightly outlawed. You have to move on from the 1950s.

So what is the "That's" as the first word in your post referring to if not the suggestion that we may need a community wide approach to the question of burning or buying turf?

I have never seen as many tourists in this part of the world as this weekend and I surmise it is to do with the record heat waves in Europe and beyond as the cooler countries become more attractive to Tom and Teresa Tourist.

Is climate denial a thing in the circles you keep?

The "Thats" was in reference to unasked unwanted persons being given the right to enter private property against of the stated wishes of the owners, without the owners being suspected of or charged with any crime. There are ample ways to check compliance with agri-schemes, planning law, turf cutting legislation (it isn't legally prohibited) without diminishing ownership rights by unauthorized trespass.

I'll wager I know a hell of a lot more about the tourist industry in Ireland than you do, and i cam assure you that the current temperature in mainland Europe has little or nothing to do with numbers here.

Lastly, - where did I deny climate change? Or is that just your go-to dog whistle?

It's lost all its meaning when you apply it to anyone who even hints at questioning the new religion.

But seeing as you asked, no, - it isn't. I'm well aware that we as a species are causing climate change by our actions.

I'm also well aware that as long as the GP and their acolytes keep on their current path of taxing us until we all agree with their approach to it, that nothing will change and we're truly fxxcked.

Hope this helps....
