[holywell farmer]

think it was banned outright in the 90s,
Did it affect soil if a field was burnt over many years ?

Not as much as the ploughing after it

Sure a farmer or poster from Scotland might correct me but they banned it out right in 1995'

Stubble burning and ploughing are both still legal in Scotland, albeit the former is rare.

How did the Scottish government not ban it ?

I have no idea, that's something you would have to ask a representative of the Scottish Government.

The Scottish Government and I get along best when we each pretend the other one doesn't exist.

And it’s crap and dangerous. I actually know of two guys dying doing it. That’s without even going into all the burnt hedges, blocked roads ...

Did you ever have the pleasure to be involved?
Actually, I see your topic is stubble burning and my worst memories are straw burning but they tended to go together

Well it was insane and no fun like you might be thinking

 

[czechmate]

Maybe I only did it with arsonist nutters

 

[czechmate]

Yes with a derogation

Well that must be impossible most years. Bloody fields will catch fire if you look at them nasty at stubble time

 

[le bon paysan]

Yes with a derogation

Aren't they near impossible to get?
Thought a " Useful" combine fire was as close as you'd get round here!
