Horse manure
11 Jun 2015

I've got a large amount of well rotted horse manure which I usually sell - many tons. I'll swap some for mini-digging a couple of shallow, narrow trenches for digging in a couple of small polytunnels (same location) if you're up for it?

If it's for your garden plants Andy you won't want to use new stuff. The urea burns the roots - you'll need well rotted manure (known locally as Christmas Cake!). The current President at the RBL Branch used to do it by the trailer load - might be worth a phone call. Or pop in to Be Repaired in Park Road - he owns it or works there.

As I understand it, a solar farm can still be 'farmed'. Apparently, sheep farming can still be undertaken as the sheep graze between and under the panels. Also, again apparently, ewes like to lamb in the shelter created beneath the panels. Seems an ideal solution for struggling hill farmers...if their fields face the right direction. I imagine that free range chicken farming would ...

What the hell is happening to our town? It's okay though - they both had traumatic childhoods.

Anything happen? No. I know the EA have to put their umbrella up and warn people that something 'might' happen. The problem is that insurance companies are grabbing this and charging exorbitant rates for flood insurance in areas that, up to now, have never flooded. The way of today's world I suppose!

If you want to vote on policies the Beeb have a fairly good section under 'BBC News' entitled 'Election 15'. It gives a fairly good precis of who wants to do what. Whether or not those 'policies' ever become 'practice' .... only time will tell!

Apparently, before the brook was 'canalised' (if that's a word!), fishermen used to pull their boats up outside the White Hart. If the seawall goes for good maybe that'll happen again.

Don't forget all of the Sheltered Housing Schemes who have had their Warden funding removed! This policy is just not 'joined up' - Give it 2 years tops and the DCC housing for older people policy will be in absolute turmoil! There is no doubt that some older people will suffer and even die from this. DCC should be ashamed of themselves!

Oh, okay then! So someone who is not contibuting can get a new boiler whilst those of us paying for it can't afford one? Great policy - well enjoy your new boiler. I'll just wrap myself in my old sleeping bag and continue to cut logs if I can find them!!!
