Dig Trench and Prepare Ground

What happens here

First, use a trencher or shovel to dig a trench from the water source to the location of the tire tank, and a separate trench for the drain line. The video shows an aerial view of an extensive trench network across the field. Then, at the designated tank location, excavate and level a circular area larger than the tire. Spread a layer of rock dust (also referred to as 'screenings' or 'granite sand') over this leveled area and compact it thoroughly using a tamper. This provides a stable and firm foundation for the heavy tire and concrete base. Ensure the area around the base is also prepared to manage water runoff from the tank.

Goal: Dig a trench for the water supply line and drain, then prepare a level, compacted base of rock dust for the tire tank.
