Interesting post from Aubiose Horse Bedding about H**p

One acre of h**p produces 25 % more oxygen than one acre of forest and guarantees a cellulose supply that is approximately twice as high.
One acre of h**p grows within 6 months, while a forest grows for decades before it is harvested.
By making h**p paper, we could save millions of hectares of forest every year.
H**p can be used in textile production, construction and even as biofuel.

Mill moves to 100% renewable energy In recent months we have been transitioning to using only renewable energy on site at Dripps Mill. We have achieved that by two means. Firstly as many of you know, we have attached a 5kVA generator to one of our waterwheels and have been slowly building up the energy we directly generate ourselves at the mill. Secondly, we have moved to a renewable tariff with Scottish Power, meaning the balance of any energy we do not generate ourselves is supplied from renewable sources. For interest we have attached video of the generator in action. The waterwheel rotates at 10rpm but that is geared up by a factor of 300 to run the generator at a whopping 3000rpm. Enjoy! ScottishPower

During the maintenance of the sluices at the back of the mill this weekend, we had the top sluice at the weir right down with no water in the lade. We lifted the top sluice this afternoon and this video shows the lade filling up again.

The weir viewed from the west bank of the river this afternoon. The water breaks into white horses about half way down its drop.

Niagara on the Cart The post Xmas rain has filled up the river and the water is roaring over the weir.

Good flow in the river this morning as it passes the back of the mill, goes under Waterfoot Bridge and on towards Busby.

The river takes back the riverbed. After a long dry summer, when at times the river had dwindled to a small stream, the recent rain has seen the water re-claim its territory. The video, taken this afternoon, shows summer vegetation laid flat by the waters. You can also see water exiting one of the waterwheel tailraces.

He was back this evening. Those bedding plants have just become deer food.

Lambs at play in the meadow this evening 🐑

Ducks in lade at back of the mill this afternoon. They are well able to control paddling speed such that they don't get swept away.
