Are you installing an underground irrigation system?

Yep Farmer Roy will connect it to the pump his end if he can find some hose clips and some gaffer tape

Are you drilling for water?

 

[Cab-over Pete]

I’ll be surprised if you’re making as much dust as I am.

Dry rock being crushed for lime, no water in quarry lagoons to moisten it, I’ll bet Captain Kirk can see me from outer f**king space.

Intercept of radio chat today from Birmingham airport
‘Control tower this is flight 621x from Alicante over’
Tower receiving over go ahead 621x
‘Tower can you tell that bloke in the merc lime spreading in a Hawaiian shirt to stop for 20mins so we can see the feckun runway over’
‘Received 621x give us 10mins over’

 

[Cab-over Pete]

20 minutes?? I don’t think that would be enough time to clear the dust!!

why dont you damp it down abit ,save the dust ?

What, every job!?

We spread 1200t last week on 14 farms . That would take some doing.

What I have done is delivered half premium quality and half screened lime which is kept outside (so is moist) to some jobs. We then mix on site which is working well. Customers are happy with it.

The quarry that produces the premium ground lime have no water whatsoever in their lagoons, so have me way of damping it down a bit. It’s either produce dry lime or none at all.

Just like farming, they need rain.
