TODAYS SEAT TIME

[Eagle1]

First of all, all the soil you see in the pict. was put there as bucket load after bucket load of cowchit that I cleaned out from around a cattle feedlot. I hauled it all in (by the bucket load) and made that raised garden, (it's now composted out) even then some rocks still come up/through.

Every year I pick the few that come up and move them out, so it "looks" like I don't have rocks on my place, but I do.

My compost pile grows rocks
Really every time I use compost there are new (composted?) rocks that appear. I throw a ton out of the pile when I turn it. .....Pretty sure they sneak in when I add random stuff to the pile but still.

I cannot tell a lie. I sneak in every night and toss a bucket load into the pile.

Must have a big bucket.... it's the football/basketball size that get me down.
Reminds me I still need to try to sink on T-Post tried 4 spots the other day still not past 5" before I hit a rock.... May just dig it with the backhoe and put a cedar post in. I actually drove 4 without hitting rock this weekend, new record. Note that was in my swamp I pretty much could push them in by hand.

Not that big... about 7 cubic feet, if I remember correctly.

When I dug a trench for a water line all the rocks came up
it was just dirt before digging

I have my tractor with rotary cutter all loaded up,

to head to a big job that will last quite a while, rotary cutting at a tree farm. I always enjoy doing tractor jobs at this place!

Not where we reside . . . I always think that it would be better to have people vote by the amount of land one owns, more land = more votes . . .

This project was a fun one for me this past weekend for a customer.
Sliced the center strip using the land plane and removed the center strip dunnage using the box blade and pulled to a dump area.
Then reconfigured back to land plane to pull up the compressed stone and evenly distribute.
To finish, I used the chain drag harrow.

The customer's husband had recently passed, so she was grateful to have some help around the property.
She has a few more areas for me to work on now that she has seen what I can do. (you will see a good size stone pile in the background of one of the photos)
These jobs are very satisfying to see the before and after results.
