Week 3, Day 4:

  • Further work on levelling the bedding sand at the bottom of the GSHP collector trenches.
  • Laying hardcore where vehicles are going to be parking and turning, based on the experience of how slippery things got with the rain on Wednesday.
  • Forming a passing place on the access track through the field, to avoid vehicles attempting to pass at random points and damaging the crops (or getting stuck).
  • Building sand delivery ready for laying the concrete blocks.
  • Research into alternative options for insulating the ground (beam-and-block) floor.
