[QUOTE="Cab-over Pete, post: 7032429, member: 416"] I’ve been very busy carrying out trials on this for thirty years. The only thing I can quite definitely say about the whole business is that there is feck all money in it and if there is suddenly eleventy squillion tonnes of crap going on to farms there will soon be even less money in it. About 7-8 years ago some bunch of cockwombles were going to spread 15,000 tonnes of cement waste from Rugby Cement only a stones throw from here. I was asked to get involved and, despite not wanting to do that, I did so that I could keep an eye on things. Bi-product Recovery they were called. They couldn’t organise their own hair style so it went all arse backwards. They were just greedy, slack with paperwork and thought that farms would be a great dumping ground for the stuff, masquerading it as a great source of potash. Two of the top bods used to regularly meet for coffee in a cafe near here and openly discuss the fact that they were going to visit certain farmers that week and (I quote ) “get in before Pete Smith does”. How do I know that? A good friend of mine runs the cafe and lurked about so he could send me details ?? It all folded, as expected. If some self appointed experts get hold of an idea like this, they’ll see £ signs and it’ll all be ruined whether it’s a good idea or not. [/QUOTE]
