Maree NEEDS a Digger

OK, hear me out, I need a mini excavator. I plan on using that digger to create 3 acres of fabulous gardens on my property and document my journey online as I go. So, although it's not a life threatening cause, it is my hope to inspire other gardeners by creating something from scratch - and I need a digger to break through my solid clay landscape, scrape off the kykuya & weed, maybe excavate up a hole for a pond, and throw stuff around to create soil to start this process. I'm not talking a 5tonne digger - just a mini digger like the Kubota K008-3. Although I am considered a danger with power tools, I have used a small digger before and I am 50% confident that I won't do something stupid. I would appreciate the financial support as with the help of a digger I will be able to create something special, or possibly some funny gardening fails, that I can share online so that others, with a challenging site like mine, might not be afraid to have a go at creating a garden.

If, in the highly likely event, I don't raise enough to buy a second hand digger off trademe then I plan to use whatever money is raised to buy a sharp spade and, if I'm flush with cash, I might even see if I can afford a shovel, pick, rake, fork, some sharp secateurs, a hand saw, and some blister cream.
