We have tons of dead trees that we need to get out of here. When we bought this property it was just the house and about 9 cleared out acres of pasture. The property behind me was owned by an old man and woman who never did anything with it so it was all dense trees and vines. No way to walk through it, even. They put the place up for sale and we bought it. They were living in a tiny little dome house that we need to get hauled away, it's an eyesore and not worth anything. It doesn't even have any decent parts to give away to charity.
We've learned to be careful about taking out too many trees. If we do we lose what little soil we do have. But, I don't know why, we had a bunch of trees all close together that died a few years back. I've not taken then down yet because they attracted lots of interesting birds. But they are so rotted now that I'm afraid they'll come down in wind.
