Title: Fenced the field now to the grass or lack of it? This game ain't easy!
Post by: Lizmar on May 05, 2009, 10:21:01 am
Well I'm slowly getting there.  I have now got a fence round the 3/4 acre field and painted it yesterday - my back is killing me today! The grass is my next problem its a a real mess it has dandilions all over and another really aggressive weed with leaves that are like tulip leaves but smaller - yes I will look them up cos they are killing everything.  Now to get the fencing done, a huge tractor came in, so not only it the grass weedy it is all churned up and uneven.  What should I do with it?  It also happens to be on a hill, not too steep, but it just adds to the problem ............ Help!!!

Going to put in a concrete base to put the lopsided stable on - the last owners seemed to think it fine to put it on the hill and strap it down with ropes. 

When all this is done, I can decide what 4 legged creatures I can have!

Go for pigs, preferably tamworths who will root it all out, leaving you a nice barren area in the winter to cultivate - and superb bacon.
