I'm preparing a bed in the veg patch for potatoes. This is a new area, never been cultivated, at least in my time here. It's full of rocks that I have to remove to give the spuds a chance. So I have been forking it over, taking the stones and rocks out.
Some of the rocks are quite big; boulders you might say. This one here is too heavy for me to lift, so I have to roll it to get it where I want it. There's another, even bigger one to the left of the wheelbarrow in the second pic.
If you don't have a sack trolley you might try rolling them onto a sheet of strong plastic sheet then sliding them by towing the plastic sheet. Allows you to use your body weight and legs rather than arms.
ReplyDeleteThanks Woodsy, I will try that. I think a sack trolley would have problems with the uneven terrain, but a tarpaulin or plastic sheet with well do the trick.
