SILT, the Dirty Enemy

We just received the go-ahead to have our SILT FENCE taken down.

Our weeds have grown to the size where they will hold back New Mexico if it comes sliding this way.

Silt, as you remember from grade school, is what messes up the Mississippi River delta. Here in Texas, where Environmental Issues Stand Proudly except in most of Houston, we concern ourselves with runoff silt. The builder is required to keep runoff in its place.

Clarification: Sally-Dee-Anne can runoff from the tralier park with Bucyrus. Silt stays put.

The upside is we get to lose that black stripe that runs across our lower acre and down the driveway.

The downside is that now people will know we have completed construction and 'this is as good as it gets' and that our weed crop is in.

On that front, our lanscaper sent the hydromulcher back to respray areas where the grass hasn't grown. This means he sprayed grass seed on weed. The genetics of the thing just makes me warble.

But, as a warbler, I may qualify for federal protection.
