Magna Dig 2024 - Day Three

Here's where we are working.


Notice that standing water and patch of reeds down there?

I spent a good part of the day taking off nasty, tenacious patches of soggy reeds.  Reeds are pretty tough.  When you try to put a spade through them they resist with vigor.

The trick is to "comb" them out of the way.  


As neither I nor the fellow I'm digging alongside have had to use a comb for some years, this was a skill that required re-learning.   

Magnificent weather, really could not be improved upon.  The next few days should start getting interesting.
