The rock breakers did their best,
helped by the JCB operator, to finish extracting the rocks from the central pit, I was
asking for at the beginning of the week. This area can now be filled
up by
the JCB, the 2 heaps of soil have been moved, despite one day of rain which slowed down the rock breaking process (Tuesday) and
one machine break down (on Thursday afternoon). I am not sure how many cubic
meters of stone have been extracted and cut, but it might be
somewhere around 4-5 tons.
Other
activities on site included : slightly moving the placement of the
Family Cottages, now that the space was cleared; marking the dormitory
placement, start sieving the soil for the CSEB ( I still would like to
test the selected soil), building a grass fence along a wall where
there's a limit disagreement with the neighbour, putting a tent up for
the seed storage and day desk, clearing the area where we want to build
dry compost toilets and marking their placement, preparing seedlings...

| Oops the future alley and service parking are in the middle of the garden - let's change that (the placement, not the garden) |

Tomorrow the boss is coming back to site,
and I am helping with our attendance of the first Farmers Market in
Blantyre to advertise our offer on trainings (permaculture
principles, sustainable earth building, herbal medicine, compost
making...).
Fom Monday on :
how do we get the machine to dig the
pond without destroying everything on the upcoming food forest, where
lots of new trees have been planted recently ? And an operational
meeting with the structural engineer and foreman to set up a working
schedule and responsibilities between us.
