I tried to catch the drop off and the hill. The trees are in the bottom just before the hill in this pic. It is not much of a hill but it is a hill. lol
Lucky you!This look like where I have my coop. A little downward. Flat Louisiana But I'm NW La and it never floods here.
we don't flood to much here but it has flooded our shed because we are on a bit of a hill. lol

Cickadoodles-- my favorite fish is CATFISH!!! Good flavor and great texture, not like a fish. lol
We have had more and more houses going up around us. I can hear dogs barking and see lights thru the woods--Fortunately we are mostly surrounded by state land that cannot be developed. Kept for hunting and hiking and NO motorized vehicles.
HEaven !!This is what I wake up to in the mornings. It's a cloudy day expecting rain.
Hmm-- I have bought play sand from Home Depot and it is very fine and packs when wet. So I think something that doesn't pack, not a beach sand, not a fine sand. I have visions of vermiculite blended with sand . . .One last post. Per Mikes instructions, get a dishpan like container with holes in sides and bottom Fill with very course sand. Like making cement. Put your soft cuttings about an inch apart. I put about 30 or so in a plastic strainer. Soft is the ones that bend. Water really good. Get 4 pencils and stand in each corner. Carefully put a white trash bag over it and close gently. Put outside in a shady area that gets no sun. Every 4-5 days water again and close. Should be rooted in a couple of weeks. I'd leave it in the container for a while. Then individually pot into 5 inch pots. Or in the ground. Plenty of water. I did 50 hydrangeas and they were rooting great. Then I got side tracked and a lot died. I couldn't understand it and found out that Home Depot gave me play sand. Too packy and didn't drain well. But It does work well.
I have the coarse sand in the sand box that is unused these days. . . and tons of compost-- half and half??
DH's fav fish is catfish. The only way he gets some is if we go out to eat. lol
I would do one or the other or even try some of each and see which works best. But cut off most of the leaves only leave one or two and cut them in half or they will use to much sap to keep the leaves alive instead of making roots.
Yes this is the cow pasture and this mound in the front is blackberries. Your sheep will love all the new plants you are planting in the pasture for them. We have most of our land fenced for the cows and we have divided it so we can manage the pastures we rotate them. We also plant winter rye so we don't have to buy as much hay.
Yes, I do a slant cut.
