This post should probably be in a different category (hint for TOM, "Flora/Fauna 'Oddities)
Dedicated to Lorna and Ned's new Texas Ranch.
In an effort to help/improve their landscape, I'll offer the following advise.
Build a few mountains/hills to enhance the resale value property of the acreage.
The images below will clarify my suggestion. It takes a lot of sand and cheap labor to accomplish that goal. Nothing simpler than to make friends with the 'Florida (and Midwest) Pocket Gopher.
It is a little furry friend who lives in a solitary environment (no girlfriend) and is able to move mountains.
It is called a Pocket Gopher (google it). It is about 6-12" in length and can move more sand/soil to fill a wheelbarrow in a single night. Just think, if you waited long enough, even your altitude may change. I counted over 50 mounds produced in a month. How much energy does that take? All by one gopher. (alternate fuel source?)
The images shown below are a product of his work in my backyard nearby over just couple of weeks. Travelers in RV's have probably seen these mounds and wondered: What are those things? What makes them?
Well now you know. (Sometimes they are called Salamanders) .
PS: This post is to remind you that there is more to life than BWT's, Heaters. leaky plumbing, etc
I would love to see images from your area, that are a curiosity. I am tired of macerators. ;D
