    Much prefer timber. Was burning turf for a while and it makes a mountain of ash compared to the furze I'm burning now - need to find a fresh supply :eek:

    If your place is as good as mine you wont need to look far for a fresh source !

    Good man Reggie. Someone that knows good turf. We've had turf over the years and you'd have to be careful not to warp the range with the heat off it.

    It's called being forced into the bog since I was able to lift a sod. Hated it when I was younger but strangely wouldn't be without it now

    Einstein moment this morn. Over 40 calves with scour and instead of individually feeding them with electrolytes I chucked the lot into the automatic feeder and did a quick reprogram. Go back later to see who didn't drink. When a man has flu' he needs all the help he can get!

    I'm out thank God, but I know a place or two I could ask the owners about. I don't think too many are going to refuse having their furze cut down.

    Burning Furze??!! Each to their own, but they'd never see the inside of the house here! I remember years ago we had hedges of them here. Oul lad set a match to them, l'd say biddy would have seen the smoke!! Digger in and pulled out the roots.

    Ah no, not the thorns or small branches, I mean the big stuff. It burns really well and has a lovely smell. Dried thorns would be like putting petrol into the fire :eek:

    Some of the real oldest ones could have been up to 10 inches thick. I cut off all the small branches and piled them for burning, cut up the "trunks" as they stood for the fire.

    just as well i dont use it. I dont have bread/toast so dont have a need to use it. Youngest lad loves mushy toast with the spread on it. Butter is very fattening

    Sometimes I envy you dairy people. Every time we need to get beestings off a neighbour I get dad to get a big jug of milk. And nothing compares to it, closest I've found is organic milk.


    Although when we have a milky cow that calves after a week Dad regrets teaching me how to strup cows!
