The first directly construction-related purchase has been made: 70 hay bales. They buffer the sensitive areas (i.e. ponds, salt and fresh) on the property. Each must be butted up against the next and affixed there with two stakes through the heart and into the soil. The Coastal Resources Management Commission even tells you what kind of hay and in what direction the baling twine around it should stretch (lengthwise). Alternatively, I could use a synthetic filter fabric barrrier made to USDA Soil Conservation Service specifications, but really, I think I prefer hay bales.
Besides, one of the last farmers on the island had his last two cows die on him, and he has a lot of hay in the barn he doesn't need. For $2 a bale, it will be mine.
fair warning: on block island or manhattan or in missouri, we can be a little salty
Oh my God, this so boring. There you are in Manhattan, living with a movie person and her dog, and what do we have to listen to stories about?
ReplyDeleteHay.
This is the last straw.
actually i think it is the last straw..like a really old straw considering up here in hay country where we have 300 acres at a pop filled with the stuff it costs about 3.00 a bale and you are talking little island lots of horses and this hay must not be edible or what? mulch i say but definitely a much better deal than that horrible black fabric they want you to look at for months on end and then what ? it's useless a good begining i say with the hay
ReplyDeleteActually, they do say the hay not fit for consumption by man or beast.
