Tick Farm 2014!
Memorial day marks the start of the Back Yard Revitalization 13 week program. I decided to clean out the Tick farm before I start any other back yard project. When you see the before pictures you will understand why. I spent the entire day out here dragging brush into the woods, pulling down kudzu & poison ivy vines, chopping down dead trees, mowing everything down, trimming live trees, picking up rocks and throwing them into a pile.... among other things. I was wore out and sore... And I loved every minute of it. I made a difference back there. Even Lyon Noticed! I've picked a few of the pictures for comparison, but know that there are a bunch more before pictures and it really was a mess back there. The folder for all the pictures are here. it's pretty interesting. In all this mess, I did not come across any snakes, found 1 turtle and ended up with only one tick! Not bad. Also this area will get a lot of traffic this summer from me. It is a work in progress. I want to get rid of all the brush piles and take down all the dead trees.
