2017 Renovation
2018 Lawn Journal

We've had a very cold and dry winter so I haven't done any work on the lawn this year as green up is way behind last year. I do plan to remove and add some sprinklers in the near future along my south fence but that'll be another day.
For the last couple weeks I've been cleaning up what we call the north pasture. It's a fenced in area north of my main lawn that's about an acre. I've kept it mowed with a rotary and a small area gets watered via an I-25 I installed last year. That's all changing this year. I plan to keep it reel low, I'm not sure how I'm going to handle all the watering since I don't plan to install a irrigation system out there till it gets a full renovation (which it desperately needs). It will most likely be accomplished with a pair of Nelson Raintrains focusing on the 16000 sqft closest to the house/barn.
I've removed ~11 truckloads of limbs over the last 2 weeks. With at least 2 truckloads of small twigs, leaves and debris raked up to be hauled off tomorrow. I originally wasn't going to worry about them since the rotary would either go over them or mulch them up but since the decision was made to go reel low they have to go. Today my little helper and I removed 2 old stumps that the previous owners left.We I dug around the base to get the chain around the base of the stump, luckily they had been there a while and were rotting and came out of the ground fairly easy with the truck without falling apart.
