302. Problem.
The digging (see blog 300) had been going so well, and I had almost finished the second cordon. But nothing for nearlies - 8/11 dug and I hit a large rock.
Himalayan-sized.
A Rock of Gibraltar piece of rock.
You get the picture.
And here is a picture:
I have removed large rocks before but this one was not moving at all. I wondered about just putting compost on top of it - no-one would know. But the fruit trees would, and 5 or 6 years down the line, poor growth would be the tell-tale.
I wondered about dynamite, re-siting the cordon (no way!), a digger . . .
In the end I settled on this:-
A roadworks-type breaker and a compressor to power it.
Hard work but effective, and I've now got enough stone to patio the lawn.
