Guess one
You are going to make that poor child move every bit of it and refuse to feed him until it is all done.

It's funny how a big pile of cack is so attractive to a 5 year old ;D
I spent a few hours this morning barrowing compost, whilst 'His Lordship' clambered up, rolled down, and had a great time on 'our heap', without actualy shifting any (apart from the contents of his boots that made it home ::))

Is itcompost rather than manure? If so,where did you get it?
-
It's 'chunky' compost, recycled from local brown bins, then sold back to us by North Herts District Council, marketed as 'Ace of Herts' at £4 per bag :o
Not willing to be stitched up in such a fashion (and far too tight), I managed to convince one of the local farmers to drop his load ::) at our plots
Strangely although the public are charged £4 per bag, the local farmers get it for free (because the recycling plant needs the space), and only need a trailer big enough to take the minimum load of 13 tonnes
Hence our whopping great pile only cost what it took to cover the drivers time and a bit of diesel, and should last us 3 years or so :P
-
Mmm, interesting! All our green waste is given to farmers, we don't even get the chance to buy it. Maybe I should chat up a local farmer!

Treated the foreman to an ice lolly and a bath ;D
