Been a nice little job the week or so digging 5 ponds/scrapes and using all the arrisings material to make a 200 meter hedge bank for planting on- weather was a sod so a fair tidy up at the end- starting to fill nicely. Only about a meter deep on average though

I have about 30m of hedge to build. Couldnt get near it in the summer as it kept blowing away like talcum powder. Cant even get tractor to the soil stockpile now!

I don't like building hedge banks straight from soil like I have in this job. Batter has to be reduced accordingly. Whereas like this one I did last year if you build the outside with turf and fill with soil then give it a trim at the end you can get a proper turf faced bank right from the get go and holds it shape if compacted properly. But does need turf you can strip 10m either side of bank

Hypothetical question about a hypothetical tomorrows job...has anyone on here ever hypothetically buried a horse?

I understand it is legally a bit iffy hence this is all hypothetical. I'm hoping its not a hypothetical shire!

Yes I have done a fair bit of machine work but this is a new one on me. Guessing they don't want to see you bashing it down into the hole with a bucket! do they fold up or stay fairly rigid?

I buried one a while back. Dug the hole and dropped the horse in but rigor mortis had set in and when I was backfilling it the leg kept popping up!

You won't need to worry about its legs sticking out, if that's what you mean.
Alot of how you do it does literally depend on the owner and their tie to the horse. You can also strap it and leave the strap on. Bur don't go lifting it too high or too quickly.
