We worked on the area in front of the shack.

We rake small sections to get the rocks out then lay down a layer of new soil. Then we add some seed and then one more layer of soil.

Getting rid of all the rocks and the rubbish from the previous tenant is so tedious. Hopefully it will all be worth it.

The shack is coming along.

Sort:  

Absolutely amazing job getting everything cleaned up and also removing Rock and building a lawn.

It's never fun however it's very important!

Maybe one of these days you'll start getting an aquaponics set up going and use all the fish motion waste to help fortify your garden as well as lawn as well as ADD a ton of topsoil.

Phenomenal work you make me jealous!

i am so debating on the aquaponics. i think you are right and i have to do that.

Well I'll just keep teasing you because even the waste material is highly valuable. And if you had a large one going, all that valuable topsoil fish emulsion, would definitely help you build whatever you wanted. Don't forget biochar! Terraprata.

While reading Graham Hancock his newest book America before he lists out how the Native Americans have been terraforming the Amazonian basin for thousands of years.

I'm really excited for the day when I actually finally get my own piece of land and I am able to use all of this crazy knowledge I have stashed away in my brain.

Definitely fortifying a small garden area with biochar and as well getting a aquaponics system going and using the waste material to fortify even more growing areas.
