A new year and work starts

14th January 2012 was our first work day and we made a good start on clearing the site helped by the fine weather.

Tea break already

Mike (the Village Lengthman) strimmed the weed killed vegetation a few days ago and the some of the old potato ridges can now been seen.
The enthusiastic work has continued into midweek in preparation for a grubber plough to go over the planting area.
These next photos were taken on 18th January before Mike smoothed some lumps and removed the larger bramble roots and plastic edging with a mechanical digger.
