We were approached by the National Trust to install an environmentally friendly composting facility in the gardens of Buckland Abbey. This facility was to upgrade from the basic compost heap used by the garden & ranger team to a four bay system which allows the compost to be rotated more frequently.
This medieval Abbey was converted into a Tudor House, which was once home to Sir Francis Drake. Due to the historic nature of this estate, an archaeologist was required to be present whilst we were doing the excavation works. Some really interesting pieces were found, but nothing of historic significance that meant works had to be halted.
