In the early spring of 2009 I had the time and money to proceed with pond construction. I was between jobs, as was a friend who happens to be an equipment operator. So after hiring him, and renting a trackhoe, it was �Git er dun� time.
During the previous 5 years the charred, and once barren gully had re-vegetated with a vengeance. There were prehistoric species of trees and bushes unlike any I�ve ever seen, rapidly growing in the sun lit, highly enriched soil�� Great, the only thing I had gained from the previous clearing was chainsaw sharpening skills and a sore back......... In the first pic. the two little bucks are standing in front of the previously cleared gully.
