BEF,

When you get a sec, tell me about that plastic mulch fabric you used (like mil thickness, if you ... where you sourced it ... how long it lasted ... how well it held up ... etc.)

I'm assuming it was just black plastic sheeting and not woven/non-woven geo-textile.

60F cloudy windy rain showers around 8pm.

Well it's been good day all 3 projects check off.
While at dump notice 3'x4' mirror in metal frame and was given permission to have,I place mirror one side of critter feeding area,reflection didn't bother squirrels and chipmunks just sat in front and stare for while,but the Tom turkeys very much disapprove gobble and gobble as they strutted back and forth

Mrs. finally turn mirror around.

I use 3 ft wide, and put it between the rows. I reused it 3 yrs now, but edges starting to unravel.
I used to use landscape fabric, but it got to be so cheaply made the weeds and grass grew thru it.

Snow blower is prepped (paint touch-up, greased, chain lubed) until next winter. Also, PTO drive shaft strapped to the 3PH frame (keeps it off the ground)

Didn't rig the chipper, but I'm going to have to soon. The dead tree I wrote about this is just barely holding to the stump and a number of other branches down. Haven't checked the field, but I expect there'll be some down there as well...be enough to make some mulch...
Time for a beer, I'd say...

Truck is ready, but I've no transportation to pick it up...that'll be a chore for tomorrow

I used the three foot geotextile also in NC, could drive the utv on it, pretty tough. Was ratty but still working in third year.

finally sitting down with last cup of coffee.
Thought I was done an hour ago when neighbor I'm helping called and said could I pick up a mild dieuretic for her on way home.
Of course I forgot and only remembered when I got home, so back down I went.
And it appears I was shopping for what doesn't exist. Only OTC dieuretic has caffeine in it, anything else needs a scrip.
Went to two drug stores to find that out. Came home and gave her four bags of my own green tea, which will help her per the druggist.
Too many errands...but got the church powerwashed, all the plants watered, a full day.
Not much energy left to conserve but going to do so with what's left in the tank.

Got a little sun on me today, felt good. Working in golf shirt felt nice.
