- (continued from previous page)the turf is "spread." This means that each sod is separated from the other. Then it is made into "footings". That is five or six "sods" are put standing together. After that it is made into big stooks.
Before the turf is drawn home a road is made from the high - bank to the low - bank to bring the turf down on the low - bank. This is called a "Toher" (tochar). Lastly it is drawn home in the harvest from the "stooks" and made into "clamps" or put in a turf - shed.- Collector
