Digging in the Dirt………..

I have been out digging today. It’s been the first dry weekend in a while and I wanted to get as much done as possible.

So I borrowed a Terex spade to get the job done as quickly as possible and with the least amount of effort. If you don’t know what a Terex spade is you haven’t lived. See one in the pic below.

This flips the clod over very easily and spares your back a lot of pain later on. Though I still need the odd ‘nip’ to ‘recover. 😉

The other picture is of the collection of weeds – some of which I killed beforehand. You can see the hops bag that I collected from the brewer. These have all gone into the soil well so far and unfortunately for all you beer drinkers out there, will not impart any beer flavour to the vegetables.

I still need to go back as I am harvesting my sprouts now that the frosts have arrived. I am hoping some will last beyond Christmas and into the new year, but we will see.
