Digging

..for nature

Green
I made a start tentatively clearing and assessing the existing hedge. I didn't want to throw the baby out with the bath water, but it soon became evident that digging over the adjacent soil was the best way. There was a subterranean jungle of ground elder roots which I carefully removed, many large stones too. Old twigs n leaves were kept to one side.

Nice as always to have a chat with the odd passer by.

Wellbeing
My neck and face have been spasming more the last couple of months; no surprise that an hours digging, worsened it. I must do a bit more stretching generally.
