Little project.

Little project a friend and I did last week. My pond is starting to fill in, so my buddy Jack dug it out for me. Not sure if the creek is filling it in, or the grandsons throwing rocks in it. :lol:




Logged this hillside behind the barn last year, so this year Jack dug up the stumps and pulled all the roots and limbs up where I can get at them with my tractor. We can no longer burn land clearing debris, so I have to haul it all off to the recycle center. Last year the recycle center charged $5.00 a day all you can haul in a day. This year it's $15.00 a load! :roll:


 
Instead of paying them to take your material why dont you think
about building a little pile or two for rabbits etc to live in. Univ of
Ohio had some thing about that at last years science review. just
looked interesting to me. I would put a pile in a corner here and
there then plant some blacberries in front, next yr you wouldnt
know the stuff was back there. just my thinking, I guess because I
have spent 39 years destroying habitat with a dozer and a box of
matches now I am putting some back for the critters. Scottz
 
Thank you retired farmer! Only part I'm interested in is the shop. The rest of it is nothing but work! :lol:

WAYNE-N-TX, the only reason it's green here, because it never stops raining! :cry:

farmall400 I've done that in the past. I must have about 600-feet of stacked limbs, stumps, brush, on the far fence line. It took no time for the black berries to take it over. Now it looks like a wall of brush, except the wall is getting shorter as the stuff rots.
 
My Father did this when he did some clearing on the other lot he owns. Was mostly pine slash but built a small long pile and was going to leave to rot. Local conservation commission was all up in arms over it because it was within 200 feet of the wetland buffer zone which is still another 300 feet from the actual wetland. We did no cutting in the wetland, had a silt barrier, etc but they still served him a cease and decist order. Gave him 3 years to clean up the pile or they would fine him and go after him further through law suits. Guess they hadn't seen that article yet!
 
$15/load? Here we have to pay $50/ton. I was happy when a guy let me dump some at his dirt pit for $35/load.
