    I don't know what it is about cutting dirt that's so fascinating, but it's fascinating, indeed.

    Thanks for the upload.
    As I have said in other videos like this, it mades more sence to do this by hand, there is hardly any 'investment' in machinery and a man can cut enough for a small comunity instead of clearing as far as you can see and selling all over the place. This way it is only used locally.
    Take care.

    Fear maith tusa. I loved a day in the bog. It was hard work but we enjoyed it as children. Mount Dillon bog. I remember the old slane

      He is cutting peat or turf as it is called in Ireland ‘ peat or turf is cut in late spring on the bog ‘ after it is cut into sods it is spread out on top of the bog and left to dry out ‘ when it is dry it is loaded on a trailer and brought home to his home ‘ when the winter comes it is used as fuel to heat the house and keep the fire burning ‘ or used in a cooker to cook food ‘ this has been done in Ireland for centuries ‘ there is little or no bogs left in Europe ‘ but are plentiful in Ireland ‘ hope u find this helpful

      КритКхох самому интересно, но чтото похоже на торф.
      Наверное торф для топки выдобывает?
