Gathering Hearting


Gathering hearting takes much longer than gathering building stones. Perhaps it's not that obvious, but it's much easier and faster to fill a wagon with big rocks than fill it with the smaller stones that are needed for the inside packing of a dry stone wall - that is, unless you have an eager crew of helpers like we had yesterday at Hart House farm, who were all there to do a lot of the preliminary work for this year's Rocktoberfest.
