Does farming affect the environment

  There is a lot of debate lately on the question does farming effect the environment the short answer is yes almost everything we do today has some effect on the environment but the long answer can be a lot more complicated than that. Some people would suggest cutting the national herd or rewilding the landscape but again the long term solution will be more complicated. I will give my opinion as a farmer with some knowledge of the issues in this country at least but also the farming model around most of the developed world. There are some things we can do as farmers but we also need help ..read more

Living in rural ireland

  Last year I wrote an article on living in rural Ireland or I should say rural Ireland dying A year on I thought I would give my perspective on what I think has changed over the past year. There does seem to be some ideas coming down the tracks. There is at least talks of some schemes to help wildlife biodiversity and farmers. That being said I am of the age that I would rather see something working on the ground than to hear of what will be from a politician or a newspaper. There has been funding provided for some public amenities like walkways and green ways too which can only be a goo ..read more

What was common sense

  What was common sense It was something that used to be around quite a bit before the age of the internet. I am old enough to remember the late 80s and 1990s when there was no such thing as the internet. A time when people could only communicate with each other through by means of a pay phone or a letter. We could in later years by a phone card which was like a credit card with credit on it that you would stick into the phone really high tech stuff. Nobody could afford a mobile phone back then and they were not really that mobile anyway. Text messages were not invented yet and even if yo ..read more

  I have not got around to writing a post in a few weeks as there has been a lot of stuff going on at home with work and family and sometimes life gets in the way of routine. One thing I did want to write about with a while was brexit as I know it is causing some issues for some using this site. I have noticed that since the start of this year many of the items that I recommended in product reviews are no longer offering delivery to Ireland. There is also the issue of added tax. Looking at google analytic I can see that probably half the readers on this website are from the UK so there sh ..read more

Things to do in kerry ireland

  Things to do in Kerry Ireland well I have lived here all my life and the only thing I dislike about the place is the weather. Kerry gets the highest levels of rainfall in the country manly due to the fact that most of the weather blows in from the Atlantic ocean and we are almost surrounded by mountains. When the clouds are pushed up over the mountains it forces the clouds to release precipitation in the form of rain. Apart from that when the sun does shine I think its one of the nicest places in the country. I once spoke to a man who said when the weather is fine sure Kerry has it all ..read more

  I recently carried some Honda ATV repair I have some experience with working with motorcycles and quads over the years anyway but even without this experience they are easy enough to work on anyway. As I was doing this I thought why not write about my little project and it might help someone else out there thinking about doing the same job. I thought about buying a newer on from Done Deal or a local quad bike shop but thought it would be worth very little to trade it in in the condition that it was in so I went for my own repair job instead. My quad was sitting idle with well over a yea ..read more

12 volt led work lights

  12 volt led work lights used on tractors or other machinery around the yard is getting more common in recent years. I think there is very good reason for making the upgrade mainly for more light and if you need to replace the lights or even just the bulbs it is not that much extra work to change the whole light. I have 12 volt led work lights on a skid steer loader that I use for putting in bales of silage and it makes a big difference when I am working around the yard or shed on dark evenings. Led lights will last longer and give out more light than older lights with bulbs and they oft ..read more

Mythology of the irish fairies

  The mythology of the Irish fairies is or at least was very much part of rural Ireland. Today most people would laugh if you mentioned fairies and many would imagine tiny winged creatures from a Disney cartoon or childs story book. The truth behind the fairies in Ireland is based on much darker stories of witchcraft and curses or piseogs as they were known in Gaelic There are hundreds of stories and many which have been lost to time. The following is just from my limited knowledge of the subject to give a brief outline of where the stories come from.   Who are the Fairies They were ..read more

Best budget wellies

  I have been thinking of doing a review of the best budget wellies for a while now but have been somewhat reluctant. The reason being is I believe that there is some truth in that saying you get what you pay for or buy cheap buy twice.  A lot of cheap wellies now are made in china with mixed views of quality control. Then there is the issue of so many newcomers into the wellington market and so many fake reviews online that it can be hard to do proper research before I write about something. Unless I buy every pair of wellies and try them out for a year then I can only judge from ot ..read more
