I give you proof and you give me grief!
Not everyone lives in the remote v w n . . . or close to it. doesn't make us city slickers just makes us civilised

Should we check homicide stats for a major city slicker area like Chicago versus the northwoods, where true civilized people live?

Shaw, this is right behind my house:

See what a backyard should look like?

I have lived in the city, suburbs, and now live very rural...and "civilization" as far as area goes has nothing to do with being civilized..and as matter of fact suburbs are worst for being "uncivilized" they just hide it behind pretty little yards and expensive houses. Get behind those closed doors and it can be scary....lol. You guys are all great here I love the comedy, help and free entertaining everyone offers.
And as for the subject of the post...I agree with those who say build it up with dirt. As long as drainage is good. I also would put pea gravel or smooth rocks around pool/pond that needs extra drainage and gets most of the mud action. If run is covered and drains well dirt should be just fine

Where I live, the buildings are all mine...The rest is my back yard.

The most built up place I ever lived in looked rather like Shaw's area. It was terrible... nice neighbours that we were good friends with, but even the best peeps can't remedy a situation like that.

If you can't go out in your backyards to check on your birds in your undies...you live in the city.
