The 2011 Project has finally got going. Ole Milkman turned out not to have access to the right machines; but he put me in touch with Claus, who does. Today he turned up with a "stubfræser", a large machine for dealing with the roots and stumps of all those sycamore trees I felled in the autumn. Imagine one of those big lawnmowers you sit on, with a ferocious-looking circular saw attached to the back. You back the machine up to the tree stump, and the saw just chews everything up to sawdust.
Having dealt with the tree stumps, he will come back next week with an ordinary "fræser", and get rid of all the weeds and other stuff that have popped up out of nowhere during the past month or so (see above). He will also do the 50 sq m in the paddock, so I can get going with the kitchen garden. Around 1 May I should be sowing grass, and making potato beds.
