There are shit loads (excuse the pun) of regulations surrounding it but its very difficult to control. Sewage in its pure form is a bio hazard and comes under the COSHH regs there is no way spraying raw human shit on to a field that has potentially harmful micro organisms going back into the food chain would be allowed. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Think the stuff that's not as well treated needs ploughing in within a certain time frame. The waste contractors were doing the spreading and ploughing so it was a good deal for the farmers. There was a company local doing it so saw it regularly a few years back. Perhaps they have changed it now because I'm not seeing it about the same 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chartpolski 23,343 Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Farmer who I get my poultry food from told me I can have as much cow slurry as I want for my allotments for free. It’s supposed to be better than horse manure. Just need to source some containers with secure lids, don’t want it all over the back of the motor ! Cheers. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, they would only be sealed from the farm to the allotment, about two miles, then spread on the raised beds I made a load of nettle soup liquid compost and that ferments and gases aswell.

Cheers. Just giving you the nod, it’s a mixture of Methane, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulphide and ammonia….it will flatten a person in a second so just keep in mind if storing any and when handling. I know you’re a grown up but better to say than read on here “Did you hear about poor old Charts, found stiff as a board amongst the cabbages covered in cow shit “ lol 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’m learning all the time about growing stuff and getting the most produce for the least cost. The horse lads drop off a load of horse manure now and again, one of the lads is a tree surgeon and drops off bark mulch, we help each other out with fertile eggs and use each other’s broody hens to replace our hens, and there’s a good barter system going on. Maybe something for the “preppers” to think about ? Cheers. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Francie, 2,151 Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 Donegal farmers blocked the carriageway into letterkenny last night,its a start fairplay,i detest the supposed irish goverment,they are mere puppets of the eu. An african man commited 8 sexual assaults in the ten years living in ire,8 ffs didnt get deported an not in jail or shot in the head,then manages to get a job in hospital an caught masterbating at foot of a bed of a patient just out of surgery. Iv no words honestly,a woman was gang raped in gweedore by 4 migrants apparently,nothing done no one arrested. On a good note a fellow niall mconnell has managed to stop a mega mosque being built in letterkenny,he put in an objection based on theres a christian holy well on the site an its been put on hold for six months,hes a good man i signed it. The pushback is on 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
