milestone

In the process of weeding and re-vegetating 3 acres of land, I often wonder if I'm ever going to get on top of things. There's just not enough hours available... or energy.

So today, with a cool autumn breeze blowing, it was with relief that I looked down over around 600 square metres of land 99.9% free of creeping succulent and snake weed. I'm over half way with it - just the top section to go, but I'm pleased to say that it's under control and not at risk of escaping further. It's a challenge though; every piece of root and runner sprawling out under thick forest mulch as the potential to re-infest. Lucky I have helpers!

Now to get rid of the 'nuclear waste'!

My reward? I'm off to Kumbartcho Nursery. It's time to start planting.
