500 tonnes

We have been lucky in our friends. The National Forest had a great deal of hardcore left over from the landscaping of the bagging plant. We were given free access to the 500 tonne bund of hardcore. JCB Mark and the farmer's trailer drivers Matt and Zoe made a dint in pile. The hardcore was trailered up to the allotment from the other end of the park and tipped to make the car park. The car park was put in first to give good access for the heavy trucks that would be making deliveries. The heavy trucks acted as free road rollers compressing the surface. Once the drains were in more hardcore was tipped to create the access path down the centre of the plot and to top dress the soft spots on the car park.
