A low tech option may appeal&#8230;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An article was recently published on the &#8220;Caring for God&#8217;s Acre&#8221; website by John Langran.  The organisation is concerned with the management of Churchyard&#8217;s and Burial Sites.  John&#8217;s article gives a clear description of how to build a hand baler &#8211; with plenty of pictures for practical guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please follow the link to access the pdf:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">https:\/\/www.caringforgodsacre.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/HAY-BALER.pdf?fbclid=IwAR0unTnqzqWsYkVhIDdyNzn7E7i2UYF1s4tGAIb7J-34lVhmu2o78ZlAfqA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Usefully, you can also see a video of a hand baler in use on the Caring for God\u2019s Acre You Tube channel :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YC3afDTEdDI&amp;t=204s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YC3afDTEdDI&amp;t=204s<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We contacted John &#8211; he wouldn&#8217;t change anything on his design &#8211; and is happy to spread the word on how to make the hand baler.
