Just had 16 tonnes delivered. We pay £40 for 8 tonnes delivered.  What about fellow allotmenters (that's if you can get it delivered)

When I could get it that's about what I paid Phil - though it's not so easy to get now.

How come?

I understand it was some environmental regulations, though what exactly I can't say, but if memory serves the farmer needed to get some kind of license to deliver the dung.  I became a problem saveral years ago now, maybe 7 or 8 years?

Free from a nearby stables - you just need to return the bag. Always fresh though, so no instant use.

ah yes, isnt this to do with toxic waste. Apparantly you need a licence to take bags of compostable kitchen waste, or hedge/grass trimmings from your house to your allotment, is classified as a Waste Transportation Operatives Licence.

Its all a load of fetid dingos kidney. The usual Elf'n'Sfatey EU rubbish, devoid of common sense and with no grip on reality, or practicality.
Nothing is ever as it seems. With appropriate equations I can prove this.
