Hi!
And the beautiful days roll on!
Back on with the gardening duds and into it.
Wow… at the deeper end I had to remove half a meter of dirt – and rubble and concrete!!
It’s reasonably level now.
I thought this section wouldn’t be as severe…
Ha! Not quite half a metres difference, but not far off it. Still coming across lots of rubble and concrete to slow things up a bit.
I dug up a lot of pegs today. Plastic. And the usual crockery and glass
I was a bit disappointed to finish all that dirt removal and fail to find a marble… then what do I see peeking out of a mountain of dirt?
Yay – new marble!
You know how normal people dig holes??
I dug UP a hole!!
I had just finished leveling the first area and moved up to the second.
Walked back down to see this:
It went down a fair way too! I got a stick and poked it in (This is Australia after all, so I am not silly enough to stick my arm down there!!)
I could have measured the length but that would have been sensible, so below photo from my fingertips to end of stick is how deep I got it down there!!
Nothing grabbed the stick or hissed at me or did anything untoward (slightly disappointed) so I just filled it up with the readily handy dirt and moved on to the top section.
I’ve created a building site.
All that rubble and concrete is going to go ‘down the hole’ (the not-septic-hole) but by the time I was finished this afternoon I was done in. I had no intentions of picking all that up today!!
I had to save my strength to top up on the nights firewood!
I think the rounded thing on left of photo above might be the septic pipe… Didn’t dig further to investigate haha (Call me boring…)
So! Tomorrow I can trot down to the hardware shop and see about getting some timber!
I’ve decided that we need to build these raised beds first and fill them so they are nice and stable then I can build onto them, back fill up to them and complete the rest of the garden.
Hopefully tomorrow I’ll take a break from digging 🙂
Hope your day was great!
Cheers
