Yuk...

[Moodyman]

Local farmers have added manure, or whatever it is that they add, to the fields and damn it stinks. Not only that, I could taste it in the back of my mouth.

Yuk!

This last couple of weeks loads of the houses on the rural part of my commute have been having their septic tanks emptied in the morning. Not a great appetiser for breakfast at the office.

yh passed some fields today and they were using chicken 'manure' jeeez

Round here they use the "cleansed and sterilised" human sh*te. Apparently it's not harmful at all. But it absolutely stinks and you can't open your windows. Their licence to use it has expired but the council aren't enforcing it. 

I work next door to a farm.

Not only is the s*** in the air, it's also all over the road. And now it's all over my brand new bike

Bloody farmers. What do we need their 'food' for anyway?

EDIT Bloody hell have I posted that much?

Thames Water used to sell that from Mogden (Treatment works that is now Heathrow T5) and Rammey Marsh (Treatment works near Waltham Abbey now houses)

Smell of the countryside - what's wrong with you all. TBH I'm lest used to it these days as I used to have a rural commute past lots of farms, oh and through one farm yard.

 

[Deb13b]

I don't mind the smell of the countryside, but I hate the smell of human sh*t. And that's what they use here. Bleurgh !

In the stinky poo ratings i think Pigs have the worst stink and horses and cows the "nicest"

 

[Deb13b]

+1

I started my working career in farming. One of the first tasks I was asked to do was to spread pig poo ... using hand tools! Despite repeated baths, I had no pals for a week.

 

[david1701]

no pig farms round here but the chicken sheds down the road STINK some days

 

[suecsi]

My office is in a business park in front of the local 'recycling centre' (the tip) and behind that is the sewage farm .....

Like Jezston I just wish the farmers would keep it off the roads.

Animal muck + Tone valley soil:

1. Stinks
2. Goes rock hard when it dries and it sticks to bikes (and cars) - they used to build walls with it.
3. When wet is a top class lubricant between wheels and road.

Really vile is when the stuff drips from the little tanker trailers it's taken to the fields in, and splashes into your face as you're riding.
