That is what I meant - Sustainable Urban Drainage System is the old fashioned name down here.Polystorm crates
The old days was fill the hole with brick rubble and anything else you wanted rid of ,these plastic crates are just another way to keep some box ticking jobsworth employedThat is what I meant - Sustainable Urban Drainage System is the old fashioned name down here.

Apparently ,they are made of recycled plasticBut will we be able to continue to use these single use plastic crates anymore ?
Do you see much improvement on grass growth using one of these. Have always been tempted to try one.I think I have got my money's worth out of the old blades? Reckon they will have done about 2000 acres? 6m machine - so have 144 blades to change.
Brought the rotors inside to get away from snow and rain - and to have power and light.
Fitting Nord-lock washers again. Fitted them after first year with the original spring washers which were useless. Could have 10-12 blades loose after 4-5 acres but once I fitted the Nord-lock cut that down to 4-5 loose blades/season. Have been shearing quite a few bolts over the last couple of years but presume that is fatigue. Fitting new 10.9 bolts as well.
Should be a good year to slit a bit deeper to let more air into the ground?

What we looking at the yellow egg
Daffs. Only about a mile in from the coast at Budleigh where these were, so there are often some out in late January/early February. A bit like new lambs though, it’s always a joy to see them.Daffs or Narcissi are they not?

So satisfying!!Jetting some really badly blocked drains today . The quantity of sediment coming out is huge . 200-220 meters in length and I would roughly estimate 200-300kg out of each one . Drains we cleaned here yesterday are running hard this morning and water levels on land dropping fast . View attachment 855620View attachment 855621View attachment 855622
My thoughts exactly. Wish I had one. Anyone know of any in the East Devon area?So satisfying!!
Have they ever been jetted before? How old are the drains?Jetting some really badly blocked drains today .

I think these were laid on the late 80s early 90s , they are plastic pipes with gravel back fill . They haven’t been touched since they were put in so not surprising their blocked . We have jetted some in this area that were blocked solid and only 5 yrs old , they really need doing every year . It is a very satisfying job but today I can get out of the wind so it’s bloody cold .Have they ever been jetted before? How old are the drains?
