New Plan of Action

So the cleaning up did not work. I am still not sure if I have been charged for the tires on the Skid Steer. I will probably find out when they send a bill.

In the process of cleaning up I have noticed an abundance of stumps that I did not know about. By "did not know" I mean I forgot, was ignorant to, or had selective memory about. After a lot of research I had decided to rent a stump grinder and go at all of them. But now I have decided to plant the garden somewhere else this year and spend downtime this summer cleaning up. I am going to try to dig down around the stumps, poison them, and then take a chainsaw to them about 24" deep. Then I will fill the holes back in and dump some topsoil to cover the area then cover it all will straw or wood chips in preparation for next year.

I had looked into making a raised planting bed but to raise the area I wanted I would have needed 37 cubic yards which was almost $1300. FORGET THAT!!! Dirt should not cost that much!
