i might be 75% of the through pulling vines off of the trees in the cypress swamp. maybe 75% through also in the back forrest. it's never ending BUT there's major progress. it's crazy living here for 5 years and still not visiting so much of the property.... every time i unlock a new spot it's just mindblowing
in the process found a bunch of native/fruiting guava trees hidden inside the brush. pretty cool
that remaining 25 + 25% probably take me to 2027. hoping to have it all done by 2027. goal is to be able to walk through every inch of the property. i was at say 25% when i moved in way back. vast majority of the property was unnavigable.
do about 3-4 hours a day of vine pulling / cutting through brush with the goats.
one day the satellite before/afters are going to be nuts. maybe the drone photos too. i've gone enough "before's" laying around for when i do the afters.
but yeah it is so much easier with the goat gang (8 goats). every pull of something edible and they are so excited.. so each pull of vines/invasive stuff is rewarding because the goats can't wait to devour it. and they will eat non-stop for as long as i'm out there removing this stuff.... once i'm done they will lay down for a bit and recover, except for twitch (our fat baby goat); she'll just keep going. lmao
it's weird man i am completely immersed in this stuff.. i guess like i get with everything.. but for this is just non stop outside physical labor with animals. the best feeling ever LoL
