You know we have 22 acres about 10 miles from us that we could do something with. It has a creek. In fact my property line runs through the middle of the creek, and goes uphill. It’s the back up in case we have to vacate the house do to some natural disaster.

So what about your stock tanks? Are they full of water? What about mosquitos? Are you raising fish in them? Doing anything else with them?

I am thinking that if we went in and planted some native fruit trees, like paw paw’s and some nut trees edible weeds LOL etc. It would be a good idea. Wouldn’t need much tending
and we could make a trip or two to harvest what the critters leave.

Then we would have plenty of critters for eating and some fruits, nuts, and greens to go with the squirrel stew.LOL

I know one tank is full now. It has plenty of fish to keep mosquitos out. The neighbor leasing the land keeps a few cattle there, so they have a water supply. I could irrigate a large garden if I wanted to from either tank. One is almost an acre in size and about 10 feet deep in the center. The other is only about 75' across and 6 - 8 feet deep.
