The Dogmother Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I'd leave the bag filling to them TBH, just advertise it as manure with bedding as well and say that it will need to be bagged.. that way they can fit in as much as they like in each bag.

Snoxy Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 I explained to people in my ads that the hen doo-doo was mixed with rotten straw I had someone tell me they wanted as much as I could supply...they turned up in a very old Honda Civic (small car)...I was expecting a transit van or a car with a trailer attached they made two trips and took 38 of the 70 bags...another lady took 10 this morning although she said she only wanted 4...she liked the look of it obviously...her husband struggled to close the boot They travelled from MK to collect...they have a new allotment The husband asked to see my hens and they were asking me lots of questions about them...they would like some of their own Both cars left her on their axles...I had to Got 22 bags left for collection...and 3 people taking some, maybe all of it I have never known people to be so happy about hen doo-doo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 My friend who takes any excess manure brings back the Aubiose sacks for future use, and when the veggies have grown, I find regular bags of them by the back door great exchange I think.

Snoxy Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 Love that Claret I gave both collectors some eggs as they genuinely seemed to like hens Just wanted to add...I have never seen Mr Snox sweat so much...he claims he has lost a little weight I did as much as I could manage...considering I am a wee slip of a thing held open the bags while he filled them...taped them up and lifted them into the wheel barrow (which I am borrowing from ExH ), only two at a time mind you...so, so heavy and wheeled them round the front of the house to the driveway...and we are both suffering with horrid colds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoxy Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 The 'old' chap did well He went to work for a rest this morning because he had to (today was suppose to be the start of a very rare two week holiday taken to landscape the garden)...came home at lunchtime and has been snoring ever since I don't mind at all because the decking hasn't turned up yet...was expected Fri but the lorry broke down...was promised around lunchtime but still no sign of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
