QUICK! Erosion control for freshly graded dirt

 

Nazis deserve whatever comes to them. You are now, and will forever be, my hero.

This leaves me with visions of Bette Midler singing about Poopy...

I don’t think you are gonna pull up that mesh in the Spring. It will be embedded in the grass and growth. 

Oh yeah. Duh.

If you heard the fish feeding, you should've thrown a line in.

Oh trust me, I thought about it as a reward for all my trouble, but I was beat & wanted to go home.

Better pic of the creek. Complete with goofballs.

Now it's stuck in my head. Thanks a lot.

So yeah. Holy crap.

Before you had a creek.  Now you have a river.

Were In The Same "Hood" And Ours Rose 3 Ft.

Still envious. It's on my bucket list to own a piece of property where I can go fishing in my back yard.

There’s 31 acres for sale just up the creek!

I believe it!

How high's the water, Momma?

I think you're 8 hours away. How are the prices down there?

I heard Jasper got some snow to go with the rising river. Good times. 

 Unimproved land can be 5 grand up, desireable land 10 and up, cleared with utility's 25 up. Poop's 31 acres is likely a good deal. I am Just East Of Ellijay on 411 and am paying 5 an acre with Owner Finance, I wanted to move to Suches, but a friend offered me This.

All the better to hold everything together.

In reply to jharry3 :

Right. That’s the point- it’s what it’s supposed to do. But Poopie suggested pulling it up.

If/when you do plan to move, let us know.  I'm still looking for land about that size in Pickens or Gilmer County.

In reply to GTXVette and nderwater:

I have a place in Suches.  Maybe we need to talk about a 3 way deal  

Good news: We have grass out the ass!

Bad news: Uuuuuuuh. Now what? My neighbor echoed svrex’s sentiment; “Good luck pulling that erosion mat stuff up.”

Apparently he mowed his for the first time last weekend and the E36 M3 got all twisted up in his mower. Any thoughts?

I got nothing. The mat is supposed to stay in place.  It’s usually used on slopes, banks, etc that don’t get mowed. 

Looks good!

In reply to poopshovel again :

No actual experience with the erosion mat, but maybe set the mower higher?

*NOW* ya tell me!  And thanks.

I figure I’ll look for any spots that have lifted & re-stake if necessary, then hit it with the push-mower, as it’s easier to un-fornicate if something gets twisted.

Plant blueberry bushes all over where you had the erosion mat. Leave a few paths through them.

Never mow again, enjoy your blueberries.

Not a bad thing.  It will help hold it all together.
