Cover Up - Land Drains

My husband's continuing excavation and removal of concrete slabs, as detailed in my last post, came to a sudden end today with the discovery of what we surmise is a land drain.   When the crowbar hit, he knew it was time to leave well alone. 

All the soil on the bed is now back where it was.  After all, we reason, the three beds at the front have deep soil.  We will grow the more shallow rooted stuff at the back.

Allotmenteering is (infrequently) the art of making things disappear when it is  inappropriate to dig everything up.
