hearing you get a bollocking from your father brought back alot of memories show me one farmers son who hasnt

[@stephendleahy]

Likewise.

[@pasdaymon680]

I never thought I'd miss getting a bollocking The old boy is gone 2 years now hearing Phil getting the 🐔🐔 good times

[@johnhayes4110]

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 👍

[@johnhayes4110]

@Séamus Dooley Sorry I'm not a Lorry Driver 🤔👍

[@antonymcgowan1880]

Old fella’s only fed up because he cannot blow it threw the Class. Genuinely interesting video Phil 👍

[@brendanbannon78]

Good Video of bringing home turf philip

[@What..a..shambles]

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 😀

[@What..a..shambles]

@@ringgolyn9088 Have Yee any tractor pics

[@tomgreene2282]

Don't tell that to the Green Party!

[@paullynch277]

Any of the turf that falls apart before it can be burnt can be put around the fruit trees in the garden.

[@What..a..shambles]

Great poultry bedding, makes good compost after

[@markgannon1279]

Fair play to them getting the digger out onto dry ground it will be great to see it working on the farm

[@paulmiller8886]

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.

[@endamcdonagh9949]

One of the best places to take a sample from, Poolboy bog?

[@mistypeppercorn914]

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.

[@What..a..shambles]

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.

[@martymartin2894]

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

[@seanmcguigan346]

Eamon Ryan will love you Phil lol. Grand video. I see father Phil loves the big like all auld fellas lol.

[@pjdoyle5105]

Great video Phil. Ya can’t beat the turf.

[@gerardfarrell3135]

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.

[@edwardconnolly8580]

Great video as always Phil I'd say your father would be some crack to go for a few pints with

[@paulwhelan2935]

Can't beat the turf the only fuel that warms you twice

[@alanreid3063]

Peat in Scotland and I found that you get at least 3/4 heats off peat, it's hard work

Very interesting video

[@jascollinscork]

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 💙💙💙💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻😀😂

[@stubuddle5561]

Fair play to your liv. She is a good girl gets in there just like my old woman. Old school. Good Luck.

[@doliverlipke7056]

I enjoyed the history lesson about "turf". And call me old school, but I like tradition. Great video!

[@DianeD862]

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 .🌈🌈🐂🌈🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

[@Gearoid35]

Back breaking work reminds me of manually doing sugar beet years ago

[@georgedoorley5628]

sugarbeet way way harder work ..........!

[@Fergalaccordion]

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

[@welshcake2859]

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

[@johnsweeney1712]

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.

[@claetuswoodroofe4164]

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.

[@oconnellsfarm811]

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 😂

[@noelryder8517]

Great idea with the roof i like it

[@corkion]

great vid when we were young we only had one coal fire in the house we use burn turf the smell of turf brilliant

[@markdoherty.5856]

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 😁 😁

[@garethmcmahon9769]

Well that's one way of filling a shed! Mind you don't blow the wall out...

[@ciaranomalley9274]

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

[@jamieroche287]

Yes 👍

[@markfoxton894]

Great to hear ur honesty about the turf.

[@keithjohnson5759]

Reminds me of hand picking stones off the ploughing. Hard work and a sore back at the end of the day.

[@patodwyer721]

Excellent video. Doing things the Farmer Phil team way. Better late than never. Nothing like an old turf fire

[@briandolan2685]

Never dawned on me to take some of the roof off the shed 👍🏻🇮🇪☘️

[@ronanstack3248]

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.

[@brianjamieson8653]

Good film it still happens in Scotland not so much now . Auld faither getting stressed out 😆

[@smalldairyfarmer]

Great video 👍

[@welshcake2859]

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

[@Lfig012]

Great vid...thanks...

[@martinhandley8753]

As always Phil fantastic video mate,

[@marksmith6778]

Black turf is good turf

[@garymadden2656]

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 👍

[@mederry]

That ain't no shit show, that's as real as it gets! Respect✌️

[@simonferris7850]

At least mother Phil didn’t have to cook a dinner keep up the good work

I still remember last year's Bringing it out in November Fun

[@MrShaggerohara]

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

[@sandymcghee3328]

Another great video farmer Phil keep them coming stay safe 👩‍🌾👍👌🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🚜

[@anthonymorgan6774]

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.

[@williambowman155]

Absolutely brilliant video no turf in county down 👍

[@mattyod73]

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

[@lesterhertel2945]

What do you use the turf

[@oliver69cork46]

'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.

With the cost of oil this weather your turf is very valuable 👌

Great work by all. Be handy if ye had basket style pitchforks and it would speed up things as well

Great video Phil. Why don’t you use potato sprong to load the turf into the bucket and save your back.

[@alicegamble6145]

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.

[@terrystraw2648]

I don’t like to see you harassed Phil, Things will get easier, we all love your Family videos, keep them coming.

[@irvenrathburn9421]

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 .

[@martincraig1974]

Great video Phil its interesting for us townies. keep it lit🎃🎃

[@cdemo1186]

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"

[@MrLaking123]

found this really interesting is this used for fuel in a fireplace never seen this before

[@adejohnston6831]

burns like coal but less heat, leaves loads of light brown ash.

[@petrokemikal]

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 !!!

[@johnscully1836]

or importing peat across europe to ireland at a huge cost both to.... ourselves and the environment

[@matthewgilmore9956]

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

[@paesco2509]

Well Thats one way to put the turf in the shed😂

[@MrShanbla]

Some stack of turf Phil. Rivals if not beats my fathers timber heap, I'd say we have 6 of those redrocks worth of logs stacked after council cleared a roadside ditch on the N73. Pity the new house I want to build isn't allowed a fireplace 😂

[@philipoconnor2236]

I'd prefer your father's shed of logs to that "turf". He'll have better heat and half the ashes and waaaayyyy easier to bring into the house

[@MrShanbla]
