[QUOTE="OnOff, post: 363247, member: 16173"] I've a half acre plot of land and access to another seven so getting rid of top soil and such like is no problem. We've a bit of a communal compost heap on the border between the properties formed by upright corrugated sheets and everything goes there. Been there for umpteen years. One issue is it's a bit of a trek with the wheelbarrow. Other slight thing is it's so isolated/warm it's full of SNAKES. Pretty much g'tee to lift up the old lorry tarp that covers it and find one! My bro in law was excavating a sand trap for a local horsey type and came across a clutch of snake eggs........which he took home and incubated. Got 6 baby grass snakes that he let go. Keep meaning to do a big veg plot tbh. As we're on a slope I envision a bio-gas generator at the top of the hill warmed by solar thermal. Then the compost "outflow" can go straight down the hill to the veg plot. There's a French fella called Jean Pain who is famous for his composting. Basically buries pipe in a big mound and generates enough hot water for all his cooking and heating needs. Also uses the methane produced to do his lighting and run his cars. But it's raining so won't be starting it today.......... :lol: [/QUOTE]
