We have about 15ac of land near a river that is essentially sand and gravel, with a few cm of thin topsoil.
I have been doing some draining work over the last few days and had some big old holes out, which has given me a real view of the soil strata down to 2m. The excavator driver was amazed at the aggregate quantity
Not surprisingly, there was a sand and gravel quarry 1km down river on the other side until a few years ago...
I've long thought about extracting this (tax free) for use on the farm for concreting purposes, but my understanding is that although it is OK to extract aggregate for use on the farm such as road stone, "processing" is not allowed. I take that to exclude concrete....
Anyone doing something like this and have some experience they could feed back. My Contractors have a home brew concrete mixer that is a ready mix drum on a chassis, and driven off teh tractor hydraulics that would go a treat! Just buy cement in big bags and Bob's me Uncle...
