      Dug out with a machine, and rolled into “sods” by a machine, as per tradition…

      Some Schlongs of Turf……. Best Turf porn I’ve seen in awhile 🤤

      I’d be curious the cost per hopper with fuel price increase on the machine

      Honestly you should really look into your carbon footprint, if you burn this it’s not very good

      All for personal use and cut under your own turbary rights I presume🙄

      Cheapskates destroying our bogs. Actually probably selling the stuff too

      Thanks for the climate change. It’s ignorant pricks like you that are destroying our environment for your own personal gain.

      That’s actually not a bad gig.

      Our bog was so out of the way that we couldn’t safely get the cattle trailer to the bank. So, multiple trips of bags on the hay lifter were required. Now, this created no shortage of risk with sinkage, because the Ford 5000 was arguably in danger of getting quite literally bogged down, so this intrepid and infinitely useful 12-year-old would  sit on the bonnet of the tractor to create a ballast of sorts. Anyone who would’ve looked at this would’ve seen a small boy riding the front of a tractor like a rodeo cowboy. I can still feel the surge of anxiety in the pit of my stomach as the front wheels would rare up, and I used every physics calculation I could to offset near–tragedy.

      There’s three subjects that elicits rage in the average r/ireland user: travellers, teenage boys and turf cutters. I’d love to see a post about a teenage traveller boy cutting turf, the sub would explode.

      Forty million euro worth exported yearly, despite commercial cutting being illegal. Hmmm.

      30% of our bogs left and these lads think they are class, actually digging up and burning the country. Plant a few birch trees?…. nah, I’d prefer to literally burn the country until tis all gone.

      Yeahhhhh. The destruction of our natural environment.

      Isn’t it great when we destroy stuff that will never be replaced.

      Lot of air pollution, strokes, dementia and lung cancer right there.

      I’ll accept the inevitable downvotes but you know it’s true.

      Ridiculous. Needs to banned pronto! Selfish clowns 🤡 🙄

      I know at large scale it can be bad for the aul ‘ment…

      But Jaysuz it’s the greatest of all the great Christmas aromas

      Absolutely disgusting. One of the most incredible natural habitats and carbon sinks and you’re digging it up and burning it. If I said what I thought of you and the people that do this I’d be up before the courts.

    33. Effinuck on

      How do you even cut turf like that?
      I’ve only ever seen it in long straight rows.

    34. DaCor_ie on

      Ah yes, the national passtime of destroying an ecosystem

      It’S PaRt Of OuR cUlTuRe!

    36. hanacho on

      Can someone explain it to me what is this? I didn’t grow up in Ireland, but I live here

    39. EquivalentChange7369 on

      Is this out near Belmullet in Mayo???
      Think I passed it yesterday

      I remember one day me and the brother spent the day footing turf, only to come home to the baler in the field! Tried to escape the mother but no was straight out stacking bales! Killer!

      Environmental destruction, hopefully some prosecutions will follow.
