    Its loose bog. I have moved a lot of clay into the wetter places. I think it would be better if the clay that I moved had time to settle. If i put the pipes in before the clay settles, the drains will be up and down and there will be no flow in them. Also, i'd prefer to let the whole thing soak out so that I am able to know where the drains will be most needed.
    will the new regulations regarding drainage and applying for planning effect you reilig or is that in place yet? Ive some drainage planned for this year, can you just go ahead with it or does anyone know the story?

    Yes that makes sense, especially about knowing where the drains are needed, after leveling bog the wet spots can move.
    We used a subsoiler in a very wet field and the wet spots all moved but didn't disappear! There was a reasonable hill right through the field so it should have worked out better, now I think it would have best to leave it alone.
    We ploughed it afterwards which left the top very loose for the first year, couldn't put cattle on it as they would have just dug it.

    The regulations are in now I think. I don't know anything about them though.

    I checked with my planner last october to see if I needed planning or to give notice about my intention to clear it off and make new drains. I didn't at the time, but was advised to start the job before the new year.

    I'm sure somebody on here knows a bit more about the new rules and can fill us in??

    Redz,
    Some fine looking heifers there. I especially like the look of the one you bought from the neighbour. She looks big and square at the hips.
    Have you many LimXSimm cows, and how do you find them?
    It's just that I'm going down that breeding route myself. I have a few heifers I bred myself, to calve in the next few weeks.

    Dont have any at the moment but hoping the heifers will work out. Have a good few charolais crossed with sim but I would prefer a sim cow to them to be honest, they lose a lot of milk. If theres milk in the bull which there is supposed to be they should be the finest.

    You DO realise that in 100 years time, that'll have a preservation order slapped on it?
    And in 200 years time, it'll be the subject of a thread like this!: Fairy forts

    There should be a preservation order put on it right now.

    An Taisce should incorporate it into their logo.

    I could well believe that 30 years of bad luck and crooked calves might befall anyone that would disturb a cultural wonder like that.

    It makes Anglo/Angry Joe/ Joe-the-Trucker's effort on Achill island look like a caravan.

    Redzer for Taoiseach. He's a one-man stimulus plan.

    Cheered me right up anyway!

    It will be part of an archaeology dig in the future alright. It will probably be lumped in with Stonehenge and the likes. They wont be able to figure what the plastic tags are for though.

    They're obviously part of the ceremonial garments worn by the sacrificial maidens.

    If they find any of these small round ones, they will come to the conclusion that belief in the God BVD flourished in the early 21st century.

    Clearly this structure is a rare example of a BVD temple.
