We've got the 570 and been very happy with it. Even put conventional bales through it that got wet on top and didn't seem to bother it

Local buying group does a much better deal on fish and chips but afraid prices are confidential to members

I just emailed our planning department with a plan showing where it was and that it was being done to improve water quality etc and they emailed back to say planning not required. Surprised what others say on here about it being a real issue as normally our planning department can be the most...
