In all this digging, we have been somewhat hampered by the amount of junk and rubbish we are finding beneath the soil. No sooner do we start to loosen the soil than we hit an obstacle – literally in some cases.
Bricks:
Concrete breeze blocks:
It's standing up now, but it was laying down before, waiting for the unwary digger to hit it with a spade and jar their arms!
Slate:
Corrugated iron sheets:
Wooden beams:
This one is about 8 feet long and 6 inches square; there have been others!
A pair of pliers!
I found a screwdriver later too!
Plastic bottles:
Glass bottles:
Not to mention stones, wire, plastic sheeting, plastic bags and the inevitable nettle roots, of course.
No wonder it is taking so long! It all takes time to find out what the new ‘treasure’ is, dig it out and remove it to the ever growing pile of builders’ rubble we are gathering. J
