Dog bathing completed, weather starting to cloud up which is good. Will mean cooler temps and maybe some late afternoon rain. Friend coming to visit this afternoon to assist with felling some small trees. Trunks are about four inches and about 30 feet high. I think I counted 25 of them.
Now planning to clean out and relandscape 7 other small round ponds. They are getting too overgrown with weeds and the sludge in the bottom is about 5 inches deep. Will transfer some of the sludge to the new ponds to assist water plants to get established. Need to put a new liner in one of the seven and a couple need to be relevelled so the water line is level. The heap of bromeliads from Riley will be used for some of the new landscaping
Lots of clean up to do. Piles of weeds and trimmings in two or three locations around the yard. If we get the trees down this afternoon that will be another clean up project. Quick and easy to take them down. Clean up takes days.
Large woodpile in the back of the yard will get bigger with the trees we take down. Its about 10ft wide by 8 ft tall. When I'm finished I decided I will completely cover the pile with bamboo leaves and then put bromeliads and walking Iris over the top of the pile and allow the pile to decompose over years. It should be a nice feature.
