Well, it's been a long day but we finished the new hedge for now. 73 bare root whips planted. I did most of the digging, and I'm definitely feeling it now. It was dark when we finished, so excuse the poor photo. They're not exactly photogenic anyway...
P.S. That's only a tiny fraction of the amount we planted.
Definitely a good days work, shovelling all day when you’re not doing it regularly is a killer. I dug out and filled a large greenhouse base last week and I still don’t think I’m walking straight.
Cheers. Probably didn't help that I'd shifted 850kg of 40mm slate 2 days before. Turns out 850kg wasn't enough - there's another 850kg arriving tomorrow. My poor vertebrae...
