Spring time digging....

Could'nt get in with a digger,mate has one i can use but it was on top of a banking surounded by streams either side and a dry stone wall behind it.Will use it for the next one tho i think

[good looking job waz .i finally got mine finished last month same amount of piping but slightly different set up.preferred digging it myself rather than getting a mini digger it gave us something to do while we had no graft on give me a shout if you need a hand with the next one

Good job. Theres a few spots of land where id like to do a similar thing. & wouldnt want to use a digger prefer the hands on approach

 

 

Unfortunately the photo is not putting in a false earth but a land drain.

good job got 2 foxs in an old ceramic pipe like the 1 you maid hand dig but didn't have to spend hours making it it was an old drain. Good idea all the same.

Nearly finished the other 60ft one, took me about 10-12hrs to dig out by hand 2 n half ft deep,a couple of hrs to drop pipes in and fill bottoms with soil,then spent about 6hrs today back filling and putting turfs back,just got to do the boxes now,should be a good one this,made it quite intricate and a bit testing for the dogs,i took some pics of the dig out but forgot to take some of the rest.Its next to a free range chicken farm this one too so i reckon could be quite productive,i'll keep you posted

Why didnt you make it a double ended matey? I have always found them far more productive?

Last time i was in Wales i had to show your mate how to dig friedrice,he was holding shovel wrong way round,dont think he'd done it before

JD Just made it a single holer cos i did'nt have a lot of pipe for that one and i like a dig...despite what friedrice's mate says.The other one ive built has several entrances and 2 boxes and a maze of tunnels
