Mini digger or similar?
Afternoon all!
Does anyone have access to a mini digger of any sort, or any machinery I could borrow to remove a load of turf and topsoil?
I would do it by hand but a) it's a bit too much like hard work for a bad back, b) plant and machinery is cool and c) the ground I have to
remove is heavily consoidated and full of builders rubble, so it gets quickly tiresome digging by hand every time you strike a brick or lump of
concrete and nearly break your shoulder with the jolt.
Beer tokens available (as soon as I receive the cash for sale of my elise  )
