Als ich vor ein paar Wochen meine Trachycarpys Fortunei pflanzte, stieß ich auf diese harte Oberfläche. Ich versuchte zu untersuchen, konnte aber das Ende der Platte nicht finden. Heute habe ich mich entschieden, dass ich ein wenig ausgraben hätte, um zu sehen, womit ich arbeite.
Dieses Stück Platte war stark verdichtet, so dass ich es nicht heben konnte. Mein erster Gedanke war es, ein Bild zu machen und mit Reddit für Ideen zu teilen. Die Neugier hat mich jedoch übertroffen und ich grabe weiterhin. Ich habe es schließlich geschafft, es mit meinem Gartenspaten und Gabel zu heben (ich brauche jetzt eine neue Gabel) und fand irgendwie die Kraft, sie aus dem Boden zu heben.
Ich habe immer noch keine Ahnung, was es ist oder wie lange es dort war, aber ich werde heute Nacht ein bisschen besser schlafen und wissen, dass es nicht mehr in meinem Boden begraben ist.
(Keine Bananen, aber ein kleiner Spaten und Hund für Skala!)

How long had the dog been buried?
Looks in good nick for its ordeal
I was wondering what took so long and then I saw your nice shiny shoes 👞 Did you keep stopping to clean them? /s
Honestly though, congratulations! always feels nice when you finish one of these monster tasks!
Our house is built on an old stone quarry. Bloody garden is full of these, there’s only so many walled flower beds you can make…
Only an hour! That would take me all day.
Question now is what are you going to do with it lol.
Possibly from an old path. I redid my lawn last year and found many the same size as yours.
Wouldn’t it have just been easier to say, “Here boy. Here boy!” whilst waving sausages?
He’d have been out in a flash.
Good work! I have given up removing big stones. If it doesn’t budge straight away / with a trowel the pick comes out and it gets a swift death.
You’ve only gone and disturbed an ancient Anglo-Saxon gravestone!
Expect to be haunted 👻
It’s cool that you seem to have that little no man’s land behind your fence. Good for wildlife and fun things and shrubs and such!
Perhaps you could join Time Team on their next dig
A mattock would have this out in five minutes – no use to you now, but if anybody reading this has a bunch of stuff to dig out it’ll swiftly become your favourite tool.
GOGGLES with anything that involves fast impact, steel toe-capped boots, hard hat (I split my head on the upswing as it bounced off a fence and the handle thwonked me). Good stance as you swing (clear the area), with minimal exertion when you’re pulling.
I’m trying to sink a new ground spike for my rotary airer. Nightmare. My house was built about 25/6 years ago, on top it would seem, of the properties that were demolished. After a failed attempt or several yesterday, I’m considering my options
Please tell me you didn’t do it with that trowell?
Why were you gardening in shiny brogues?
Or was it not you doing the digging?
