What about some pigs? They'd clear it nicely for you (although it might depend what you do with it later) and you can never have too much bacon.........

Where'd you get that? I could do with some for the new place.

Looked in yellow pages under "Mushroom Growers" our nearest one happens to be organic, they charge £25 for loading whatever size vehicle you turn up in.

we have 2 GOS pigs at the moment but although they are eating the weeds I reckon we'd need 50 to do the job!!!

Tahir, irrigation is not a problem! Drainage pipes underneath due to 5 natural springs! 2 diverted to our pond, one for our well and the others drain into ditches that feed into Lough Dergh!

How big is the pond? Could it be made any larger and stocked with a few fish or made into a flight pond if it's not already?
