I have returned to digging the back patch after a break of a week.This is how it looked after we'd got the fence sorted. The ground was very compacted and lifeless. Nothing but stones, cement slabs and fence posts!
Where we had a multitude of worms in the rest of the ground that we'd worked and fed this patch has no signs of life apart from flat, dead-looking worms that I think are called Flat worms. Here is a photo of one.
These are predators of the common earthworm so I've removed every one of these worms that I've found along with the mass of bindweed roots.
It'll be so satisfying when we've changed the soil structure of this patch and produced life in it.
Half dug, these are just some of the stones I've removed. They have now filled the entire coal bunker.
