At other locations the columns will be grouped into sets of two columns per support.
This is muddy and difficult work. And because these are old rice fields, the soil is soft for a depth of at least three meters. Water rises up out of the holes being dug, the digging blade needs to be cleaned of hardened mud regularly, the hose gets clogged with mud and needs to be whacked with a stick, the machine itself gets pushed from location to location on bamboo shafts…
This is specialized work for a hardened few.
