    I dont know what people charge but why dont you just figure how many hoppers / yards you can do in a day and and divide it into how much money you want per day . Where in the country are you ? I hate footing turf and wouldnt mind getting someone to look after it altogether

    Back in the day we used to get 8 pence a metre for a 10 sod row when footing turf for Bord na Mona, 2 pence a metre to turn it.
    Hard on the back.

    'Tis been a long time since I left the Ould Bog Road aye .... good workout wheeling the bog barrow out to the reek and no problems sleeping after a day footin' ..... simpler times drinkin bog tea and sitting on danach or high bank!

    Would be less trouble on nation's streets at nights if more teens spent a few weeks at bog again today.

    I was told of a chap last year who was footing turf for a tenor a hopper.
    I believe he was a foreigner and was getting loads of work
