some more views and and a test hole dug to see what type of soil we had..........

As you can see  - clay, and all that means



taken from one corner - across to the top. Didnt know at the time but the field had been used as a menage - so under the grass was a layer of sand, and a carpet like cloth - which has been a pig to dig out



Same view a year later - soem of the cloth removed and some crops attempting to grow - fairly unsuccessfully

A further year later - the polytunnel has bene brought forward a year and is being built in the corner - the war with the cloth is over, and the sand has begun to break the clay up into a easier mix in some part. However pasture weeds are still trying to take over

Early this year - polytunnel up and running, a yew hedge and anti-rabbit fence built around the patch - and hopes for full production this year
