[QUOTE="Homesy, post: 8457110, member: 71466"] Don’t bother. It crusts anyway. There is not enough money available to cover every earth bank lagoon. My neighbour has a covered and lined lagoon. Nightmare to stir. The cover is off more than it is on. Covers only keep the rain water out. My neighbour’s has vents which leak all the methane out. So much so that you can light the gas coming out. The slurry still stinks when he spreads it. Aside from the rain water what is the point ? ? ? I would love to see some peer reviewed studies rather than salesmen’s blurb to see the actual benefits of covers once the slurry is spread. I bet the benefits are tiny. There are some floating hexagon disks which allegedly do the same job as a sheet type cover bar keeping the rain water out. A lot easier to manage than a sheet and may be enough to tick a box for the EA depending on who you speak to. [/QUOTE]
