Did not get nearly as much done this weekend as I had hoped. However, I did get a respectable amount done.
Got more than half of the trees cut down to pieces. Had to stop because the chain on the saw was too dull. Have to wait until the new chain comes in to finish. Still, that was the longest task of the day.
Sprayed more acid and ammonia in the main garden. Stronger solution. The one I sprayed yesterday made minimal impact, not the outright black I was looking for. Lots of weeds I had sprayed were still alive today, so no hope it would have an impact on seeds. Dead grass was barely perceptibly browned.
Got the last cables in the mail, so I mounted the final two outdoor cameras, one for the back yard and one for the front door. Moved the monitor setup to where it can be connected to the internet. I still have to mount the two indoor cameras in their final position and connect the whole system to internet for off-site, email and SMS alerts.
I built the compost tumbler. However, I admit the stand collapsed almost immediately. The cross beams I used were too weak. Didn't think they would need to be that strong but I was mistaken. It will take only a few minutes to repair but I was too hot and tired to do it by that time. The tumbler should do well, though. Put food stuffs, chipped wood and finished compost in it as a starter, plus some water and ammonia for nitrogen. I got the height just right
Planted some more flower seeds and some blueberry cuttings.
Okay, need to take my nighttime medicine, have a bath and get to bed.
