Now all the building work is complete, it is time to replace the top soil on the top field. This was removed when we put the pipework in for the ground loops. While we replace the subsoil, we left the top soil in a pile. Otherwise, it would have got everywhere.
We are going to have the local farmer re-seed this field for us, but first we need to get the soil back down.
The time has come for us to put the top soil back down. It was taken up when we installed the ground source heat pump. We haven’t put it back down until all the building work was finished, otherwise it just sticks to everything and gets everywhere. There was probably a few hundred tons of topsoil here.
The topsoil is deposited in to heaps across the field. We then used the digger to level these heaps out.
