The site a piece of waste ground 22 metre square had lain derelict for almost
forty years. It was the place where the builders left their rubble when they
vacated the site after building the school.
It was very important to prepare the site properly and it was a very difficult job.
Darragh and Frank worked for many hours rotovating, removing rubble and
raking over the ground until our site was prepared and ready for planting.
Finally they laid slabs to that we would have place to stand when we were
working in the garden.
We had to rotovate the ground twice to break up the soil. This is a picture of
the rotovator that we used.
