Man Builds Stone Walls Around Garden by Hand
Antonio Raffa, 75, along with his son and daughter in law, has labored for years to enclose a terrace garden at their Bethel home. He built two semicircular walls by hand using rotted rocks found on the property, using no mortar and occasional fires to crack stones. He starts at 4 a.m. daily and continues through the day, planting herbs and vegetables in a self constructed garden.
