Hi all

I popped in a while ago for advice re clearing a section of garden,
about
90sq yards.

I have been stunned how much rubbish came out of a mound of mud....



Our garden is a little bigger than that, say about 3/4 of an acre. We
worked it out that we have removed over 30 tons of assorted rubbish
from the land over the last 15 years. AND we are still finding stuff.
For instance today I found a mole hill, on top of the soil was part of a
toy gun, some broken glass and a Shipham's Salmon paste jar.
Keep up the work and be sure to keep taking pictures of your progress.
We did not have a camera when we began and regret it a lot that we have
no real record of what we did.

In a former garden a very little digging found an old rubbish tip when
the whole area was owned by one farmer. I acquired some very attractive
old bottles that way - mainly medical for animals and humans, though
probably applied to both!

I cleared 20 56kg bags of broken glass from the end of my garden which I
call my "wood"

We have found plenty of glass in one area of our lottie, which we are using
for the first time this year. We've nicknamed it "The Midden" because of
the amount of rubbish we are getting out of it. We mentioned this to our
neighbour, who told us that in the *seven* years he was next to the previous
plot holder, the area was only used for dumping non-burnable rubbish!
There should be a law saying when you give up a plot, you take your grot
with you.
