Today we returned to the Dusty Forge to help at the gardens out back, the mission to (try) build a compost bin. With plans, wood and tools we made our way to where the old heap used to be. Firstly we measured out the positions of each metal post holder, in accordance with the plans, secondly our resident He-Man (formerly known as Ben) whacked them into the ground. Or at least we thought..........

As we weren't too sure what was under the soil (hindsight is a wonderful thing), we wouldn't have known that they would hit a rock / concrete section - Bending the post holder and then breaking the hammer.

Michael got to work digging the bugger out, whilst Ben and Karolina continued to find a way of hammering the other back posts into place.

Eventually, the posts were(kind of) in the ground, the first one in a large hole that was then fixed in place with postcrete.

We stepped back to look / admire our wonky work. It had taken much longer than anticipated but was at least a start, but now it was time to head home and get some dinners in our bellies.
