Blow (unit)
In peat mining, impact was an area of a fixed size in order to determine the amount of peat sod . There were slight regional deviations.
Hitting is the term used to describe the setting up of the peat to dry. There was also the drying in Bülte (beehive shape) and in Kloten (square wall-like layering).
One stroke was 4 floors long and 1 floor wide, so 8 strokes resulted in a day's work . The size was 2948 square feet . There were 4 pots per square foot, i.e. 8192 peat sods. Prick to 16 inches deep gave 6144 sods. Impact was generally calculated in two area sizes and they had the dimensions and values
- The size of 8 feet by 8 feet gave 1 stick = 32 beats
- The size of 8 feet by 32 feet resulted in 1 day's work = 8 loft = 32 stick = 8292 pieces of peat sod.
