Getting someone to poo pick daily for me?

[zoon]

I hate poo picking. I mean, I HATE poo picking more than anything. More than celery even.

So I am thinking of trying to find someone to do it for me. It'd need to be done daily - 3 horses on 3 acres and similar sized field in summer. Shouldn't take too long at all - I do it in half hour easily.

How much would you pay someone to do this and where would you find someone???

If I thought you were near enough I'd send one of my kids

How about an advert in your local newsagent? and minimum wage rates?

 

[Bettyboo222]

Local tack shops or on here. Where are you ?

 

[zoon]

Near Maidstone, Kent. What is minimum wage these days?

Google is your friend, it depends on their age

It wouldn't be worth someone's while travelling to you to poo pick for half an hour a day for minimum wage - £5.80 an hour - that's £2.90 innit??

Agree with this, needs to be youngster within walking distance who wants a bit of pocket money.

It is the sort of thing my kids would do, but to make it worth their while would need to be right on the doorstep (please do not deposit on my doorstep )

That's what I was wondering. Don't need anything else doing though. But really don't want to poo pick!

Any ideas?

I'd have to pick it up to do that and that's what I am trying to avoid doing!

Buy a quad and a turd hoover......Much more fun.

How much quicker is it with a quad and a poover? I'd be on my own doing it, so surely it'd be very stop start and take ages? Probably too expensive an option anyway. Could do with more stables and fixing some fencing more than a poo hoover

 

[HollyB66]

It is a pity you're not at my yard, 'cos I would poo pick for you - could do with the extra cash. It's the mucking out I hate!

 

[zoon]

That's the problem with having your own yard - no fellow liveries to rope into helping you.

Its much quicker, and you dont even have to get off.

If I had more time on my hands I would offer to do it for you as I am only round the corner so would hardly cost any petrol, but don't have the time to do it everyday with uni.

i put a add on freecycleand had 2 blokes who helped them selfs to it reguarly for roses mabey try peopkle with roses

 

[tigerlily12345]

is it essential that its done everyday? because someone is more inclined to do 4 hours on the weekend for £20 than half an hour a day for a couple quid.. unless they are very very close..

My D2 gets paid fifty pence a barrow

Too far away from you to help out though.


The weekend session sounds good, so long as the person is reliable.
