Pipes in the garden

Our waste water will run from the barn/house down the length of the garden into a treatment plant which then discharges clean water 275 metres along a pipe into a stream that eventually joins the River Neet. In order to install the pipes we needed big earth moving machinery so it made it a good time to landscape the garden area. The landscaping is very easy to talk about in theory but when you see it all happen before your eyes... well put it this way I think both Sally and I began to worry about the carnage that we were causing to the land.

Clearing some top soil




Bury spoils, re-cover with top soil.
Hmm, a rather large area to bury spoils?!
Soft ground at the bottom of the field near the stream

Digger, digger, digger

The old septic tank takes a direct hit
