The first patch of soil broken up with a spade. One of the residents popped by to inspect.

Michelle getting her back into it!!

So much digging to do!! Our central path has been marked out.

Wow! That soil is like concrete!! Time to employ the 'pogo stick' technique on the spade.

It's rotorvator time!!

Another shot of our rotavator in action.

Mission accomplished (well, for this bit anyway). Soil nicey broken up.

A garden path in the making. The first slab laid.

More slabs needed.

"Don't just hang around. If you're here, you grab a spade and muck in!!"

First patch done.

So on to the next patch. This pick axe makes the job of breaking this concrete like soil much quicker.

Patch two. . . done!

Our garden is begining to take shape.

One of the many residents of Kingfishers Smallholding.

Brian ready to begin turning over another patch.

Rotavating the patch. Turning 'concrete' into usable soil is no easy task!!

Breaking up our large patch with the rotavator.

Another good days work done! Michelle had been busy cutting back the over growing bushes on the front-left of the photo.
