The surface was removed and the chunky (as seen in the photos) underlying formation broken down with a Blecavator. The cultivated surface was laser graded and 96m3 of Ongar loam applied. The loam was laser graded and a pass made with a Graden. The Graden loosened the slight compaction that had been created by the laser grader.
Final preparation of the wicket included luting and hand raking. 6:5:18 fertiliser was applied and seed sown.
