New pond
I've got this pond out in back of the house that I'm going to have cleaned
up. The thing is roughly circular, about 40-45' in diameter. The former owner of this property used it to dispose of brush and even old chairs and I think I can see an old barbeque in there. The water level is down now so that there is only about 6 inches of water in the center, but after a rain the thing can fill up to where I'd guess it's a good three feet or better in depth at the center, This guy is gonna haul the trash away, and drive a bulldozer over the rest of the crud that remains. I know there isn't anything *too* nasty in there, because last summer the place was full of frogs and turtles and the like, so at least it doesn't seem to have been a Toxic Waste Dump or anything. I live in northern Florida (near where I-75 and I-10 intersect) and on what is classic "poorly drained" land, mostly clayish -- no rocks. I'm sort of in a rural area, lots of wildlife (including deer, armadillos, alligators, heron, turtles of all kinds, etc.). So is there anything I ought to do now (the kind of thing I'll Regret Forever if I don't). The general idea is that the whole area should thrive on a fair amount of neglect. I really excel at being lazy. Galen Hekhuis NpD, JFR, GWA Alone we can just aspire to be dumb, but together we can be truly stupid |
