Going to pick a couple stones so I can sow kale when I get chance. plowing reshes was hell even after they’d been mashed up with the spikerator I wouldn’t like to do that to often but the field already looks better

Went to see how the drainage gang were getting on today following on from yesterday’s post. We now have at least 3 springs flowing through drains possibly 150 years old! They dug the man made chamber apart to find the laterals heading into the main. The old horseshoe clay drain on flat tiles got to 2 meters in solid clay before they gave up trying to follow it to the source. Imagine digging that out by hand back in the day when installing the drain!

I also found out today that using metal rods to find drains is actually real. Thought I had magical powers when I had a go!
