Dave, yes we have a lot of hedge rows around here - Osage Orange thrives here. So now it has spread out beyond the rows and can take over pasture land if the land is not maintained.
Liquidsquid (not sure what to call you) thanks for your nice comments. We have been fortunate in having family able to really enjoy our lake and cabin.
Good idea Eric. I wonder where one could get rails. This spring I had two new grates welded up so we have one in reserve.
