Works for me. The turf I bought back to the states from my Grandfather’s farm in Balinasloe ended up with a horticultural teacher at a local Junior college in California. He uses it when going over soil types.
I've been to the Clara mart and picked up a turf cutter, I'll cut my turf by hand, dry it out in the field away from busy bodies, and any of them yahoo's come around telling me to stop, they'll get a slap of the turf cutter around the lugs.
Exactly ,these are the same people who told us to buy diesel cars a few years ago ,the same people who would do or say anything to get a job in Brussels.
Another great family working day Everybody!!! As a East Cork man I wouldn’t know anything about turf picking OR burning so very interesting video AND delighted see a decent tractor on your channel 💙💙💙💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻😀😂
Great video. Hard to get to turf when there’s so much else going on during the summer. Wouldn’t bet that the last loads will dry in a shed. Keep up the good work.
You'll never be as warm sitting beside it as you were when you were footing it or throwing it in the trailer or shed 😂😂😂. Great idea with the shed. We had something similar on a lean too, slide the roof back on rollers and tip up the trailer then side the roof back. Job done saved evenings of torture after a days work.
A fantastic video as usual love Farmer Phil and Liv and Father Phil with all his knowledge 💗 so interesting when you are both talking.We love Ireland and Farmers.Godbless .🌈🌈🐂🌈🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Hard to beat the smell of a. Turf fire. My. Father Always cut turf by hand turf spade. Always a family days cutting footing dragging them and taking home and hand building them in shed. Great video. Father Phil like all fathers on day of lifting the turf hurry up get these out 😁 😁
A Phil if you own the bog you can harvest or cut away if you cut of the flat or buy it you are in border what ever you want to call it. When does greens are gone we will be sorted that is coming from a turf seller in county Kerry.
I remember in the late 80s we used to buy a plot of sausage turf from Slazenger s up on the sally gap in Wicklow under the kippure tv transmitter.It was harvested and delivered to the roadside with new 90 90 Fiats on wooden pad tracks. The midges would eat the head off you. It only lasted for a short few years and the tractors went back on wheels to work on the powerscourt estate.
Give Liv a big hug Phil she looked well fed up after the morning on the bog ! and that was before the rain - the miges would drive anyone mad on the bog
When I lived in Scotland North of Aberdeen, the Small Holding we bought had 2 acres of PEAT BOG on the outskirts of the village that came with our lease, I had never seen Peat before I had heard of it ( I came from South Wales )but when I used to burn it on our open fireplace I had Never Smelt anything so awesome I still miss the smell. Now I live in Australia we don't have a fireplace only air conditioners that also can put out heat when it gets cold lol
Ah great to see you left in father Phil giving out . it universal across ireland between sons and fathers , if the dad is under pressure' no matter how fast you are going or how much you are doing , in there eyes you standing up against the front wheel of a tractor having a chat while they are doing all the work . It just great to see it on camera , and I have to saw leave it to us paddy's to go to the stage of taking the roof off a shed so you dont have to hand ball all that turf because if had to hand ball it your dad would want it graded and he would be ring . Great video true to your struggles and just a fact of life . That van load of time might turn up some day
'Great it was left in father Phil giving out' ,whilst it's everyday language yes but fairly embarrassing and not impressive especially in front of all.
Great video keep up the turf cutting it's part of or history that some would like to put a end to. Great way to put it into the shed.🚜🇮🇪🥔

There's loads of stuff in Irish history that has been ended and for the better you sad dunce. Make a break from tradition yourself, be the first one in your family to read a book.
Would ye think of makin an extension for the bucket so that ye could just lift the trailer gradually and empty it into the bucket to stop the turf goin to mould
Great video Phil, interesting to see how you brought them home, definitely quicker than the fertiliser bags we use 😂 Dry bank helps, would get away with that in Fermanagh
If my granny seen us taking home ciaran's/clod like that she would have sent us back out to cut more peat/turf I can't believe you get stuff to burn when the top is covered in grass, up here in the Western Isles all the peat/turf we cut is from under heather. The patches with grass are left for the sheep when they are wintered out in the moor/bog
I really enjoyed this video. I was a bit confused at first by what it was for but you explained it very well. Good to have something besides paying for gas or electricity or even buying wood which all gets pretty expensive. Take care looking forward to the next video.
Ara to be honest Phil, it's not the latest I've seen turf drawn. We were often in the bog at turf in November. We used to be so busy at other people's turf our own used to be left. So I know where you're coming from. "The cobblers wife is worse shod"
Another good one Phil. Enjoyed seeing the turf get in and learning something about turf we always learn something about your family life on the farm! Keep us up to date on the bulls hope they get big and fat for the butcher !! Buy from the USA have a grate day .
Sad enough i have t say.. Done turf every year for the last 30 years anyways... Me ould man used to cut it by hand and wheelbarrow loads of it out to the spread. My mothers home place is actually down a bog road ,so I'm well versed in the place ..haha.... Sad that it will be stopped as its a tradition as you mentioned yourself there.. But i understand also that it does no good to the land or environment to be cutting and burning it... Funny how they wont ban sucking oil out of the ground though isnt it !!!
A Phil please don't give up in the turf, do a little bit next year, it's hard to find the time for everything great vedio as always 👍
@Séamus Dooley Sorry I'm not a Lorry Driver 🤔👍
hearing you get a bollocking from your father brought back alot of memories show me one farmers son who hasnt
Likewise.
I never thought I'd miss getting a bollocking The old boy is gone 2 years now hearing Phil getting the 🐔🐔 good times
Old fella’s only fed up because he cannot blow it threw the Class. Genuinely interesting video Phil 👍
Good Video of bringing home turf philip
Thing about turf and sticks is heat security, no worries of price fluctuations in heating oil or getting it delivered if there's a shortage 😀
@@ringgolyn9088 Have Yee any tractor pics
Don't tell that to the Green Party!
Works for me. The turf I bought back to the states from my Grandfather’s farm in Balinasloe ended up with a horticultural teacher at a local Junior college in California. He uses it when going over soil types.
One of the best places to take a sample from, Poolboy bog?
Any of the turf that falls apart before it can be burnt can be put around the fruit trees in the garden.
Great poultry bedding, makes good compost after
Fair play to them getting the digger out onto dry ground it will be great to see it working on the farm

Ye will in yer hole, the only hard working men who could work them and do that hardship are long gone.

Can't beat the turf the only fuel that warms you twice
Peat in Scotland and I found that you get at least 3/4 heats off peat, it's hard work
I enjoyed the history lesson about "turf". And call me old school, but I like tradition.
Great video!
It's one of them years lad one shit show after another great video lad I have forestry only cut timber for winter 2 weeks ago about 8 months later 😂
Great video Phil. Ya can’t beat the turf.
A fantastic video as usual love Farmer Phil and Liv and Father Phil with all his knowledge 💗 so interesting when you are both talking.We love Ireland and Farmers.Godbless .🌈🌈🐂🌈🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Eamon Ryan will love you Phil lol. Grand video. I see father Phil loves the big like all auld fellas lol.
We load turf into tonne meal bags and load them onto flat trailer to take home. Less handling of turf and doesn't break up as much
Back breaking work reminds me of manually doing sugar beet years ago
sugarbeet way way harder work ..........!
Great video as always Phil I'd say your father would be some crack to go for a few pints with
Fair play to your liv. She is a good girl gets in there just like my old woman. Old school. Good Luck.
Surprising the places you hear a cockerel.
Good film it still happens in Scotland not so much now . Auld faither getting stressed out 😆

Phil, you have beautiful blue eyes the same colour as mine except mine are now 75 years old xx maybe it is The Celt in us lol
Reminds me of hand picking stones off the ploughing. Hard work and a sore back at the end of the day.
great vid when we were young we only had one coal fire in the house we use burn turf the smell of turf brilliant
I still remember last year's
Bringing it out in November
Fun
Great to hear ur honesty about the turf.
Very interesting video
Content is content thanks for the up load

Doing things the Farmer Phil team way.
Better late than never.
Nothing like an old turf fire
I hated goin to the bog to get the turf we bagged it tho your way is handy but it had to be done good video 👍
Never dawned on me to take some of the roof off the shed 👍🏻🇮🇪☘️
Give Liv a big hug Phil she looked well fed up after the morning on the bog ! and that was before the rain - the miges would drive anyone mad on the bog
Yes 👍

That's some good turf dust😂😂😂
Milled peat.
Cleverest idea/way of getting the turf into the shed i ever seen.
Laziest
Well that's one way of filling a shed! Mind you don't blow the wall out...
Great video 👍
That ain't no shit show, that's as real as it gets! Respect✌️
Great idea with the roof i like it
With the cost of oil this weather your turf is very valuable 👌
A bit late alright. I have a video of turf cutting up, hopper method.
Oh that fine smell coming out the lum 😊. Better go BUY my peat for winter now. 🙄😁 Stay safe 🏴
Another great video farmer Phil keep them coming stay safe 👩🌾👍👌🇬🇧🏴🚜
Were is the 3690... will bro be driving it🚜

What do you use the turf

@@oliver69cork46 fair play it only took you 6 months to find a typo

Great vid...thanks...
Interesting video friend thank you 😊please keep the great videos coming and please stay safe friend from Scotland 👍

Black turf is good turf

At least mother Phil didn’t have to cook a dinner keep up the good work
Turf in October Phil when will the spuds be dug Christmas
Great video Phil, interesting to see how you brought them home, definitely quicker than the fertiliser bags we use 😂 Dry bank helps, would get away with that in Fermanagh
Different place same story with da father’s getting excited😲
grand see very hands on, yeh bit broken lovely smell ah?
Ah fir peats sake 🙄😂👍 grand work
Absolutely brilliant video no turf in county down 👍
Great video Phil it’ll still burn it will be grand
It's lucky you didn't get a belt of a turf when you had the camera up.
Remind me covering the silage pit
Well now I have to find out what turf is…
This is a mighty video i love truf i love the smell of it in the fire even if they ban it ill still use it and its cheap great video F P 🚜🚜🚜
Great video Phil. Why don’t you use potato sprong to load the turf into the bucket and save your back.
If my granny seen us taking home ciaran's/clod like that she would have sent us back out to cut more peat/turf
I can't believe you get stuff to burn when the top is covered in grass, up here in the Western Isles all the peat/turf we cut is from under heather. The patches with grass are left for the sheep when they are wintered out in the moor/bog
well do to you, like your oldmans comment very funney, not easy to do everything keep on going/well don.👍👍
Take it easy in the comments 😆 🤣 great work better late than never lad.
I really enjoyed this video. I was a bit confused at first by what it was for but you explained it very well. Good to have something besides paying for gas or electricity or even buying wood which all gets pretty expensive. Take care looking forward to the next video.
found this really interesting is this used for fuel in a fireplace never seen this before
burns like coal but less heat, leaves loads of light brown ash.
Ha great craic Phil we had our turf home in may🤣🤣 all hand balled into the shed , watching you using the teleporter to shovel them 😮😟😵😰
telehandler
Good on ya mate.
does Father Phil Shout to u often for doing a video
I don’t like to see you harassed Phil, Things will get easier, we all love your Family videos, keep them coming.
Ara to be honest Phil, it's not the latest I've seen turf drawn.
We were often in the bog at turf in November. We used to be so busy at other people's turf our own used to be left. So I know where you're coming from.
"The cobblers wife is worse shod"
Great video Phil its interesting for us townies. keep it lit🎃🎃
nothing to beat a heat from a peat
Any videos off the 711 lifting this years spuds coming up?
Just goes to show how mild the autumn is that you can drive onto the bog with no problems
What new Holland does Robert have
Great video Phil bro is hard at it 👍👍

or importing peat across europe to ireland at a huge cost both to.... ourselves and the environment
@@johnscully1836 Sure whats new.. Aren't they doing the same with sugarbeet..
Pure hardship
Been waiting for this all day 😅 you got called out by crawfords farms for a challenge Phil
I've seen turf but I've never known what you do with it or what it does
I plan to cut turf next year they haven't stopped us yet they got rid of of smokey coal alright
You could be doing silage on Christmas Day yet😂😂
There must be some kind of press to turn mashed up turf into briquettes.
Well Thats one way to put the turf in the shed😂
That’s silly that time of the year
