Wood Pellets again!!!

[AActOfCharm]

When you buy them do you have to mention you are using them for horse bedding??

I believe bio fuels only carry 5% VAT, where as Equine bedding is 15% VAT.

 

[martlin]

Nah, just order them on the net, they come as fuel pay 5% VAT and enjoy

 

[AActOfCharm]

I was about to, then read the bit about disclosing if using for bedding..............

 

[martlin]

I don't disclose anything and nothing horrible has happened to me

 

[pollypt]

I use LWP and order online, they can be used on open fires, and everybody must know someone with an open fire......

Got mine from corleybiowood.co.uk, worked out at 2.39 a bag. Didn't ask if you wanted them for bedding or fuel.

Another one here that used corley biowood - great to deal with and speedy delivery - they saw my horses!!!!

If you don't disclose that you are using them for bedding it is like biting the hand that feeds you. HM Customs and Revenue will catch up with LWP and if they get put out of business due to massive irrgularities with their VAT then you will be left with paying £10 a bale for shavings again. After all paying the right amount of VAT will only cost 30p max per bag.

It's a bit like putting red diesel in your car or lorry. I'm sure people do but it's the rest of us who pay our way who get clobbered.

hi ive been useing Aquqmax pellets for 2yrs recently tried LWP
as they seemed the cheaper option but found them less absorbent so will be returning to Aquamax

Fuel pellets often contain a hardwod mix which is not good for horses.

I am just about to order my first load of LWP - can I ask when you put the pellets in and muck out is it best to use a shavings fork? or is there any other tips you could give me?

Can i ask why not? She's not eating them as far as I know.

 

[twisteddiamond]

not sure if its the same for horses but the dust from some hardwoods is carcinagenic (sp) for humans

In your other post it looks like you think I am saying LWP is hardwood. I'm not, just stating that some fuel pellets contain hardwood. I don't know about LWP.

Thanks, thats useful. It wasn't just you, someone else had made a comment as well so I was looking for more info. I really like LWP but would hate to think that I was doing something harmful to D just to save a few pounds.

Their website says "white wood" does that mean not hardwood?

 

[Thistle]

White wood is soft wood.

Get yourself a fine tine fork, you can use a shaving fork but the pellets draw all the moisture out of the droppings and they fall to pieces.
