The weedkiller did its job, and then I set about doing mine. It took about two and a half hours to plough through the mess, but at least this time it was not so high and thick.
Putting a mess of tanbark around the big oak and the other, distant one (hidden on the right) allowed for mower standoff room – that was twenty bags, including three down on the little volunteer pear in order to refresh it.
The big wet spot in the distance was still wet but I was able to get around “the duck pond” without incident or needing a tow strap.
The near middle stripe where I did some drainage trenching is a bit of a undone problem, but will define the area to be dug out and rocked.
That looks seriously nice. Honestly, though, I’d be considering getting goats or sheep or something. Can you rent a couple horses or cattle?

200-odd feet by 300 feet – it’s like cutting a damn football field full of weedy crap! Glad I got the big(ish) John Deere X570.
