Mobile waste management

It’s not my birthday yet but Carl was so excited he had to give me my present early and it is Fantastic!!  He’s been a bit mysterious all week - rushing out to take phone calls in the garden and saying he had to go somewhere at the weekend.  If I didn’t know him so well I would have worried he had met a lady as one morning he sneaked out with a bottle of bubble bath (still not sure where that comes in!).  Anyway, this morning he went off early with the trailer and I thought he was going to see Mark to sneak more bike bits home - but, no!  At lunch time he arrived back with —— a Poo collector!  It is an amazing thing.  You tow it behind the quad and it has a long tube you suck the poo up with.  We have all been out there all afternoon sucking things up.  The poo disappears up the tube beautifully and then it is mulched up so it comes out as a lovely churned up mulch, just right for the garden.  Sam then cleared all the old hay out of the bottoms of the field shelters.  I shall have to watch him though as he is already thinking of modifications, smaller pipes for greater suction power and attachments for clearing the pond!  Carl got a bit carried away and sucked up the water out of all the troughs!  We did all three paddocks in the time it would have taken to just do the boys.  It’s called a Pro-vac and looks very sturdy, I am going out to photograph it now.  Thank you Carl, I really love it.
