“The farmers put in a crop every year. They put manuer and lime on them to grow better.”

The lime also used is a hard stone first but it is burned in a kiln to make it fine. In this part they use spades but in other parts they use ploughs. In olden times there used to be wooden ploughs but there are none of them used here now. They say the last one was used in the year 1812. This is the way that the ridges are made.
