10 October 2025
Today is October 10th, 2025, and we’re back at the property continuing the soil correction work on the experimental ditch.

Because the soil between the trees was extremely fluffy and rich, it naturally settled over time — creating depressions between intervals. In this Part 2 update, I:

Removed the protective hay layer
Added quality topsoil
Compacted it manually
Pre-settled the surface to reduce future sinking
Filled 13 full intervals between trees

The topsoil came from a previous slab preparation project, so it’s well-structured and suitable for stabilizing the area.

Unfortunately, the wind and incoming rain prevented me from reapplying the hay cover — that will be done in a follow-up.

This is real, hands-on land development — no shortcuts, just methodical progress.

👉 Stick around for future updates on how the soil behaves after compaction and rainfall.
