Got to dig my three scoops in during 2022 PTJ in which we were filling in a hole after seeking a spring terrace at the Lab!

Note: The photos require three pictures or a video of you dumping each scoop of dirt. There only appears to be photos of your filling the scoops. Can you please resubmit with the additional photos and add a caption to each one. Thanks

This was so fun! Really liked this BB, I would have loved to move a lot more scoops, like all day long.

I had the opportunity to rent an excavator today to dig up some stumps and work towards getting better access on my property and making it easier to maintain.

Here’s a link to the 3 scoops video:

3 scoops in Rex!
Sorry about no pics of dumping but I was pretty jerky so bucket is full or empty before I can get phone out.

I completed this BB at Wheaton Labs during SKIP camp last summer, in the process of making a hügelkultur. I'm attaching photos of:

 - my untouched soil and me in the excavator (obviously moments before digging)
 - Action pic of me dumping scoop #1
 - Action pic of me dumping scoop #2
 - Action pic of me dumping scoop #3

Thank you!
