Not sure if this was the last day of our cleanup effort or not. We still feel there is a lot more that we would like to do but it looks like a wet and stormy forecast. The hillside is now a slick mass of mud so I can’t imagine we will be able to do much more with more rain on the way.
We had an early start at about 7:30 am and worked till after noon gathering trash & metal items. Finally we can see a difference and even though there are still large pieces we can’t remove, we feel good about the areas we were able to cleanup. I’m often discouraged by how one person can make so much mess, but this (I think) is rather amazing how much two little people can do. We both think it was worth our time and effort. Happy with the results.
I’ll post before and after pictures soon so all of you can see the difference. I know it may sound silly but even this little dump of a backyard can be a beautiful place during the summer. Lots of wildlife call it home.
Thanks to my fellow gardeners and environment lovers for all the suggestions.
I am really interested in the recommendations for native bog plants to help with the soggy issue and the pollutants. :) Thanks guys
Trash collected today: 16 bags of garbage, 3 lawn mowers, 4 more tires, heap of metal (including a washing machine frame) and 3 buckets of glass.
