Cant believe how dry it is 8 inches deep. Top 4 inches is siht tho
that 8 ins down, and dry, scares me, ours is the same, more worrying, is the stream running through the farm, full flow when raining, as soon as it stops, it's at half of what it should be.
The top is drying out, we have managed to subsoil the kale ground, should dry really quickly now.
Stone, we are dead lucky there, we have our own 'quarries', makes good tracks.
I'm afraid you wont find oil down there, but, as cornwall holds the 2nd largest reserve of 'rare' metals, the first is in china, you might find something much more valuable !
Mind you, the dispersal at holsworthy last week, av £1600/ head, makes you think they are a 'rare' commodity, chap up this way bought a fair few of the dearer ones, he's taken on a farm, £300+ac, no sfp, and buildings by separate arrangement, the parlours knackered, and he hasn't been told yet, that the cubicles are someone elses, and the owner is a complete and utter ###########.
