We decluttered some turf-squares cut out of the yard, to trench a bit of anti-dig into Dog World, today.

One of the two trenches created was not only WAY too wide, the same person who made that mistake also made some mistakes on ag panel fabrication that left a HUGE gap under about 16 feet of fence-- right along the road. So we used some rubbly broken cinderblock pieces I'd gotten from FC to fill that trench to ground level, and then added layers of these turf squares yp bnring it all up to the berm of mud Mr. BooBoo ALSO left melting into the grouind on both sides of the trench-- it can;t be dug up now for backfiill without a majoor investment of time and valuable strength.

The built-up sod layers will melt thru the cinderblock fill, into a nice raised berm over the winter. It will not only meet the berm that is NOT supposed to be there, making it look like we planned it, it will bury that lower foot or so of fence like it was supposed to be.

About 1/3 of this is done as of today-- Hardi and I both working hard, sick, because it just must be done.

The other properly-trenched section was cut so nice and clean, I'll be able to fill it with unused small logs for a mowing border. Even after the ground freezes, I can chuck a few of those in there at a time.
