Iv Seen inside alot of big free range barns and IMO free range is not any better than a well run caged unit. For the small % of birds that make it outside the shed into the field most of the time they have very little grass waiting for them more like a puddly field at this time of yr. Most free range units loose masive amounts of birds due to poor health and over production. Free Range is a supermarkets advertising dream for people that have no idea what a free range unit is actually like.

Any1 ever tried converting a log splitter to do kindling? My mate is a welder / engineer and he recons he could build one based on the principle of a vertical splitter by changing the base plate for a box with a grid of knives then changing the splitting head for a solid plate that would push your timber through the new base and in theory out will com kindling. Has any1 tried this and will it work.

If it were under 100m2 id just do it by hand as its a job to turn it around unless there are empty borders at either end & the ends usually need abit of hand raking to finish off. The blec rake runs on a honda f720. Ive got a bcs camon two wheel tractor that runs a 50cm wide power harrow, the bigger gardens take a little longer but makes a good job. Smaller gardens i power harrow, rake out, roll with the bomag, rake again then roll again. Ive tried many different ways of preping since i started by myself & the way i discribed in my last post as well as this 1 seems to yield the best results in the quickest time. The box grader on the tracked f720 is used to level rough sites before cultivating, ive also got a 3 bar leveling frame that does quite a good job of leveling after cultivating before raking. Thanks just looked at the tractor unit and powerharrow smart kit not too dear either i would imagane worth there weight in gold more suited to us than the power rake thanks for that

I always thought the green bit was the roots, thats were wev been going wrong. Always wondered why customers looked worried when we lay the stuff
-
often thought of trying that way do they get good results? my old boss used to use the RRLR method. Rotovate Rake Lay Run i hated putting my name to it never thought it looked level enough
-
We seem to be doing more and more turfing in our local area i like to think we do a good job. Getting it level is the key we rotovate then rake then roll it with a heavy roller which shows up highs and lows then rake again then roll adding topsoil if needed. we do this till level maybe 4 or 5 times getting it as hard and level as possible then with it been nice and solid we dont have to use boards to lay off. the rolling also helps stop it sinking in the future. While we get good results it can be tedious and time consuming. Anyone got other methods that work well or any tips. just intrested in other methods people use

Do what we all do work out how long you think it will take what the running costs will be add a little bit on for unforseen eventualitys. Probably loose abit of money at times to begin with but keep gaining experience eventualy you will look at a job and just know straight away what it will cost. Pricing does get easier with time you will still balls up from time to to time but thats life just keep geting stuck in. Oh and dont be A: Too cheap you will strugle in the long run to keep going. and B: be out for a quick buck you wont get repeat custom if you rush to make your money. Good look
