The grass and weeds had to be dug out by hand. The plot was infested with Dock, dandelion, couch grass, bindweed and nettles. This was very slow going , but thorough. Each 10m x 1.2m bed took at least 5-6 hours to dig and the quantity of roots removed was almost as much as foliage I took off the top!
The task was for Bunny Danger Awesome Slash Trouble and Chicken to dig beneath a tree in Happy until they could find a buried treasure. They were unsuccessful, but not discouraged.

Four 8ft by 4ft beds for the rotation, with mulched paths in between. Nearly half way on the digging it through and removing big stones and the naughty last bits of dock roots.
A male Brimstone feeds on a thistle flower with his wings closed. The upper wings are brilliant yellow in flight to attract a mate, this is the unique green leaf-shape when feeding or resting (and hibernating).
Two and a half beds dug and all roots carefully removed. Each bed yielded in excess of two wheel barrow loads of roots.
What is this city crew looking at? Are they working on this road in Klahanie Community? Or are they digging their way out and to where?
Spent the day chiselling chunks of wayward concrete from beneath the fence, chopping up the cement base exposed when the flags were lifted, gathering up the gravel from the troughs either side of the garden and digging soil that backs up against the breeze block pen.
It's donkey work, but it will open things up. The garden is shaping up nicely.
Inspired by my work as an archaeologist on Rapa Nui / Easter Island
