Filling tyres with stone


We are now in the position to fill all of the tyres as we now have enough to complete the foundations. The method we employed to ensure the tyres are full with chippings is to lever the inner edge of the tire with a pick axe and ram the chippings in with a blunt object (stick). We will let the chippings settle for a couple of weeks (over the christmas period) and then we will settle them more using a plate compactor topping up the tyres as required.
