Nothing there to stop it from washing down?

I’ve had trouble with a slight hill that even with a grass cover gets infested with some dry soil kind of beetle.

[RedMDer]

I’m just happy to be rid of the massive mess for a while. Its been my nemesis for years :)

[The Cajun]

Probably turn it into a salt garden so nothing grows there again. Its a very steep hill :)

Then ya get the soil erosion when it rains, been there, done that (with Round Up), don't work :)

Teaching Math In 1990

A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our woodlands. He does this so he can make a profit of $20. What do you think of this way of making a living?

Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes?

London has a lot of wharves and quays and piers all over the place, and that looks like London to me. Bryan, his brother and sister-in-law and I walked all over London on vacation once.

On other vacations, just Bryan and I walked all over the place.

But I have to say that the very best time I had in the UK was in Scotland. I loved it there, the weather, the people, Edinburgh, Oban, Ullapool, other cities, and the countryside. The lochs are gorgeous too.

Got it under control the hard way.
St. Augustine grass all the way to the bayou now, changed the slope with a shovel, by hand, in the really steep areas, have a specially modified old Snapper riding mower that can handle the slope.
Took nearly 2 years to get it where I wanted it.
It was a *Quest* not just a hard job, LOL.

Mr T loves Scotland.

[trisham]

Wow. That takes dedication.

[The Cajun]

Nau, just hard headedness :)

[RedMDer]
