In article , JB
writes Both the gardeners who I spoke to on Monday have gardens of more than 5 acres and one has a trailer load of muck every week, so he may well store quite a sizeable amount. Surely not more than 1250 tonnes! That's the equivalent of about 40 juggernauts full of the the stuff. Even a trailer every week and left for 6 months would be hard pushed to reach 40 / 50 tonnes. Quick question for any horsey types out there. How much manure does a horse create? i.e. how many horses would you need to acquire a muck heap weighing 1250 tonnes? JB The average horse produces nine tonnes of manure a year according to Horse and Hound who reported the story in April at http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/news/397/63473.html they said "A muck heap of less than five tonnes will not incur a charge, but one of between five and 50 tonnes will cost £252 for the first year and £174 thereafter, while 50-400 tonnes will cost £482 for the first year and £402 each year after that" -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |
