St Mathews / Hull Youth For Christ, Boulevard.

After a few test digs and a few hard hours trying to clear the site by hand and electric saws and hedge trimmers we resorted to a 1.5 ton digger kindly hired to us for a smashing low price by Humberside Plant Hire.  This enabled us to clear the site in one afternoon, once we had learned how to use it, most of us had a go, but some were better than others...tee hee.  That's Anna at the controls, which made a scream noise each time she used them for some reason. Have a look below at what we did in an afternoon with 3 adults and a few young people, all of whom had to keep a close eye on that digger arm, it had a mind of its own....honest.

John Paul with one of the less exciting tools that day, bad luck son.

At the start of the day, work was slow as we tried to remember how to use all 11 levers !

by the end of the day, one pile of old rotten fence and wood, and one pile of brambles and weeds, oh and no fence anymore !

One clear site - looks good enough to eat out of right ? well you can't see in the pics but that's mostly rubble, broken glass, and grit, but with lots of sieving and care it will grow.

The one lovely tree on site, we really must identify that now its in leaf, a guess anyone ?

Next step is 2 skips, a community meeting to plan the site, and a lot of wheelbarrows, manure and sieving....if it sounds like your kind of fun please come and join in.
