@FishinRod - Thanks for the idea for the gabions. I had read that bales of hay had some effect as well. In your proposed scenario, are you saying I'd have to go out and remove them any time there's a heavy rain? That might become a bit of an issue if I were away during a storm, say. I really like the idea of what they could achieve though, so perhaps I read you wrong.

@ChrisIN3D - I took a peek at your intro and it sounds like you have a pretty sweet setup yourself. Thanks for the compliments on my place. I am really excited to take on the stewardship and continue on the right trajectory.

Thanks again.
