The very far corner of the orchard (where a new gate will be installed) will need to be dug out using an excavator. The ground here rises up for some reason. Originally, there was a large wooden shed here and I suspect that waste was deposited behind the shed.
The wall was in pretty bad shape. I have pulled out as many of the coping stones as possible and then dug the foundations. Since one side is lower than the other, I can use bricks in the base of one side of the wall base as these will not be seen as they are below soil level. Using bricks is quicker and also means that they don’t have to be thrown in the skip.
The last section of the orchard wall has been started. A gate will be installed here roughly where the blue trug is.
