Most of your root veg is UK, as most of it gets put through the factory in Measham. Not so much gets flown in except the quick perishable stuff. Shipping containers were historically the most efficient form of transportation, it may do ridiculous like 6" to the gallon, but it's 18,000 containers.

Think the year round glass house type growing was always limited by the cost of heating. Which skews the cost viability, the Dutch seem to have made it profitable tho. But at the same time they fly green beans in from Africa and still make money.

And a tiny 1.03% or less of global co2 emmisons. Sacrificing usable grazing & arable land on the premise of climate change for trees, just forces you to buy in food from elsewhere, unless you're prepared to forgo you meals and eat the bugs ?. Letting land go fallow when it could be turned into high welfare, sustainably grown meat, should be a crime in itself to waste it.

It could be water hammer, I have it at home on toilet cisterns and fast closing washing machine solenoids as older houses aren't fitted with pressure regulators to quieten the effects. As demand drops in the mains, pressure increases. If you're shower is mains fed you get a better shower late at night due to a increase pressure.

Erm, what now?

I did almost 15 years in the pump industry, i even said it shouldn't transmit very far. We have all suggested a long variety of possible causes of the noise, including a few quite outlandish ones including Mrs Miggins at no 32 enjoying self appreciation.

They don't just turn off water pumps because you're tucked up in bed.

Noise does travel further in winter when the leaves aren't one the trees and hedges.

It's not the same these days, all the led grow lamps just means you've got to follow your nose 😉

One of the farms could have a big biomass boiler, feed and ash augers do run sporadically. Livestock farms might have a lagoon and water/muck separators, anaerobic digester etc. Start simple with neighbors before going all Inspector Clouseau. Glass in hand, ah ha it was was you in the drawing room with the portrait of fallen Madonna with the big boobies.

Are you describing some self service ladies knocking shop with some Uber deluxe Hitachi magic wand with a poster wall of Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman posters for added stimulation?. If it's a farm locally nothing would be that short lived, even if it was grain conditioning fans. Maybe something like a commercial freezer, try the neighbors electric idea 1st. Failing that it could be water hammer, after about 10pm water usage goes down but it shouldn't transmit for km's.

Neighbour insurance company requesting tree felled
GarethM replied to FBNK's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
Well the original post said the insurance company for next door wanted several trees in the area removing without any proof etc. As others have said we don't know specifics, distance, how long the extension or tree has been up but one would presume if it's been crowned several times it's probably 50-60 years. My suggestion is pretty amenable, for all we know it could be at the bottom of a 100ft garden and the neighbors extension upto the fence, the insurance see it as a problem and not the owner. If the insurance company wants to be arsey, how much is digging up the garden to trace the roots, document it and then go via lawyers going to cost Vs tree removal? -
Well how else are we supposed to keep the polar bears warm?.

Providing you are happy for the tree to be removed, if they want it gone, then it should be done entirely at their cost including any remediation and putting right of boundaries, patio space etc etc -

Or just put an IBC cage in the garden with a lid and they'll dry relatively quickly. But if it's green split timber you'll have zero chance of drying inside or in the garden in time for burning.

My experience has been the opposite, when grass grows and dies off the roots don't search far for nutrition around 5". When it's flailed off or grazed in a low intensity the nutrition is distributed and the roots go deeper and benefit the soil structure by getting into the clay and searching for nutrition upto several feet.

I am a farmer, carbon sequestration is just another scheme like carbon credits. Actively managing my mature woodlands 100+ years and older, clearing self seedlings and young holly which swamps out and kills bluebells. Over 10-15 years it's tripled the bird of prey population including buzzards, and equally the numbers of wildlife. In terms of the land, it's zero input low density sheep grazing. It's was poor quality land but sheep eat what they want and I mow the rest, encouraging soil regeneration that isn't monoculture grassland which works harder. Not grazing or not mowing does nothing to improve soil regeneration/quality.

Slightly less technical but good enough for government work.

Will that be televised ?, I'm Hugh Edwards read above and then the trapdoor opens. Probably with James Corden or someone equally vapid pulling the lever.

I'm interested, but can already guess they'll beat the climate change drum expecting farmers to sacrifice land and trying to change subsidies, I receive nothing and manage mine out of my own pocket. If they wanted to solve the land part of the problem, go speak to the mod and the king. Thousands of acres of crown estate and Salisbury plain etc which they could start reforesting from the road side without any real sacrifice or objection.
-
Sadly that is not going to be possible, shoots use set aside areas as they are used in rotation and as a result change yearly. The only decline is generally urban areas as apposed to farmland, farmers manage the land with many having replanted hedgerows as we know our environment.

Do you win a prize like a free roll of perforated tinfoil or is it a knock on the door and a lobotomy whilst watching repeats of loose women just to sure it's been a success ?.

Weren't they mostly involved with those paradise papers, or whatever dodgey scheme it was called?.

Isn't that just a continuation of the old Gordon brown idea of you pay everything to the government and they give you whatever they think you deserve. So we create a digital currency, on top of the existing sterling. Both would be variable like all currencies, will his WEF mates be doing similar things. After a few years will it get rolled into one cough cough global currency, perhaps called a Schwab?.
