Me and the gang are currently working on a dig, it's at the bottom of a vertical tube.
At the bottom of this tube we are noticing we are getting short of breath, presumably this is settling CO2. Could we lift out kibbles of CO2? The hauler has enough spare time between full kibbles to take a few up, so even if it barely helps at least it's keeping them warm.
Also there is a slightly sulphurous smell from the soil. It seems that every now and then we disturb some gas, what is this likely to be? I have found reference to Hydrogen Sulphide with a brief search of this forum. Is this the culprit?
New to digging, I need to call on your collective experience!
We didn't feel too bad down there, just short of breath like being at altitude or similar, we'll just crack on for the next few weeks but thought I may as well ask on here.
