    Biomass buffer tank insulation

    Can anyone recommend a company to come insulate my buffer tank and pipe work again with rock wool. After 8 years it’s starting to drop off all the pipe work and a few holes appearing in the buffer tank.

    Advice on opening a quarry

    I have asked Yorkshire dales planners and they said if it’s small scale then I don’t need planning. They wouldn’t explain what “small scale” meant 😂

    Advice on opening a quarry

    I have dug into a banking in my field and come across good limestone bedrock which we crushed and used for our own use and sold a bit as well. Ended up riddling out good facing stone, a load of boulders and crushing 100mm down and 40mm down. I have asked planners about it all and they don’t...

    Tanker pipe from concrete slurry tower?

    The reason ive avoided a reception tank to suck from is because old tank had this and people were forever leaving gate valve open and the river is at bottom of hill and now there’s 4 times as much slurry that could end up in river with this new tower. We have already buried a 1000 gallon tank...

    Tanker pipe from concrete slurry tower?

In theory when tankers full I think you’re supposed to shut valve on the tower then turn pump off then open a tap on the outlet to let air in...

    Bought maize contains gravel and bricks etc

    I bought 500 tonne of maize from someone back in summer and reclamped it and we’re now feeding it. I didn’t go to see it because I’d already had 300 tonne in spring and it was fine and we fed that through summer. The 2 amounts must have come from different clamps because the 500 tonne that we...

    Dairy farm Micro Anaerobic Digester

    More and more people contacting me about my AD plant but I’m reluctant to encourage anyone to buy one off Biolectric until they sort their sh*t out. Is there know one else making these small plants? There should be by now!

    Anyone have nose fill drinkers for calves

    New calf shed going up and wanted to use the nose fill drinkers so that water is always fresh and no ball cocks to break and flood everywhere but after feeling how much pressure it takes to push the spaldings one down I’m wondering whether there’s an easier one for calves? Or whether it’s a...
