Lemme answer that in two halves. 3 minutes ago, Pullstart said: new Bear toy I've already been advised that it will likely be a BBT toy. It has been mentioned that she's certainly not looking forward to driving around for hours with a smile on her little face like a 5 year old. I might get to use it. Leads.... No, none yet. Might be a quick upcoming fab project there. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yepp. In the new garden site area the excavator machine got most of the big stuff out or moved around. (Like to the pond for example). We'll use a ripper to pull more of the smaller rocks sticks and roots out within a few inches of the surface. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wherever the glaciers partied during the last ice age - like SE Michigan - doesn’t matter what you plant, the soils yield a very consistent crop of field stone - guaranteed that’s a “crop” you’ll get…! All the farms have piles and piles along the edges from the decades and decades of spring rock picking… 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't take long to build up some really nice borders and divider walls. One side of my own land has a wall that dates back at least to the 1840s. Even if we CAN'T get all or most of the rocks out we'll still do a garden in the same place. Just be more of a row of mounds instead of digging in. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,631 #20 Posted January 29, 2022 @ebinmaine , up in thompson ct , are even rarer stone walls , they were built with flat field stone on the upper / top levels , so the land owner could use a angle ramp to horse and wagon up on top of the fieldstone and view his acreage , like an elevated road . must have been pretty spooky to that horse , but was done. few of them left today . pete 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
