get rid of rubbish ?

[fumanchu]

I used to have aviaries in the back gdn and when we built them, the spoil was dumped behind them, creating a mound about 3ft high and 5ft long , along the back field fence. Mainly big lumps of turf, with weeds all over it. Now I need to flatten this mound because I'm getting chickens on that patch of ground. How best to do this? I dont know where to start

A spade ?

Where to dump the rubbish though ? how hard is it to move that size of pile? I'm not fit at all and if its hard then I need to get somebody in to do it. Is there no easier shortcut - just spadeful at a time? I keep looking at it and havent a clue how to go about it or what to do with it !!

Sorry but it sounded simple. If you removed the heap to create the averies then can you not just pull it back into the hole created by the averies? If you have the cash[ and I don't know how much they cost to hire ] then a mini digger and driver for a 1/2 day could do the job, you might need a skips if you want rid of the soil which down here is about £100 a day.

I think I'm just putting off going out there and actually DOING something. Ignore me
