wasn't sure where to put this thread.
This morning the guy digging out the pond larger next door, needed a place to dump the seaweed, scum and slurry from the bottom of the pond, he is dredging the sides where it was shallow to make it deeper and remove the scummy layer..well Ron gave him permission to dump it into a clearing in our woods..the woods is dying there as they are adult aspen trees at their peak and dying off..so he started piling the scummy slurry..like grey pudding...into our woods this morning..and it kinda has a tendency to seek it's own level somewhat and then piles deeper..
this area was black dirt, but full of wild raspberries and actually you couldn't get into it very good to use it or to clean it up..well now when i just checked it was about 2 ' deep of pond scum and soil..
there is an area about 30 x 45 that he will be filling with this stuff..right next to an area where Joel had just piled a huge pile of soil from the digging of the pond to make it larger..
it will be intersting to see what becomes of this new venture..I'm sure that it is chock full of nutrients and bacteria..so it is kinda like a giant
compost heap..
