  • Oh how I long for a digger! Do they make foldable diggers? Current plan is running through the trommel and taking the graded soil to the allotment where it's needed. Getting about 1 bag of rubble for every 5 of soil, so would probably get a small skip or a 1 ton bag for that. Have been carrying bags through the house but a small wheelbarrow might just fit.

  • This was approx. 8.5m x 4m. I could not imagine taking it through a house. Are there no other means of access? Basically we were flat out for a full day with two wheel barrows. Sifting soil is time consuming as I did it for another section of the garden - maybe 2 tons of it.

  • No access. Previously we had two 2x1m raised beds and another massive long one down the right. Were about -1' from grounds level at the deepest on the left there. That's all gone to the allotment now, huge 8x4" sleepers, each bed 2 sleepers high, I think the longest were 2.4m. Yes it's a ball ache, but what ya gonna do. The garden is well shaded by a massive Oak so not sure why the previous owners chose to put those in. The trommel had sped up grading a lot, with another pair of hands to spin it, it would grade the soil as fast as I can shovel it in.
