LanTerra Update > The patch # 3 renovation in detail.
Starting at 7 am in the morning the bright new machine arrives much to my delight. I have half of one wobbly trench dug by the time Roy arrives a 9 am. Roy laughs at my work and begins to dig away the remainder of the trenches. Ken gets on the scene at 11 am and completes the job of the trenches and removes a couple of nasty trees. He moves another 6 yard pile of two year old compost onto the patch and we are away and running as Roy starts to bring load after load of new Pumpkin Mix soil to the patch. Deep in the ground we have placed three lines of drainage tile burried about 2.5' down. Although the machine rental cost nearly 400 somolyens it was well worth the cost. The trenches were dug in a few hours and about 200 hundred feet of tile are laid in three rows under the well compacted clay soil. After back filling, the next step in the process was to import more than 25 yards of sand mixed with fresh municipal compost from the Cornerstone yard. Roy has come through for me again and supplied all of the materials free of charge. He premixed the two materials on site at his Landscape yard so all that remained was spreading.
